Cannot Boot XServer
by Robert Jackson 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

I am currently using Virtual PC 2007 to install/configure CentOS 4.5. I've got the O/S installed ok. However since running a yum update, I can no longer successfully complete an init 5 boot. Virtual PC gives an internal error 13 message. If I boot to init 3, I can reconfigure the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and run 'startx' manually without any problems. If I then shutdown the Virtual PC and restart, it will not boot to init 5. Anyone seen this before and can offer any assistance?

Automount configuration problem
by Lanny Marcus 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

I have a simple automount configuration problem. I've done two similar, clean, Custom installations of CentOS 5.0, on two similar, but not identical boxes. On my box, automount is working perfectly. On my daughter's box, it's not working. If I put the FC6 DVD into the drive in my box, I can see the contents of the DVD, without any problem. If I cat /etc/mtab in my box, I see this line: /dev/hdc /media/FC_6\040i386\040DVD iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=503 0 0 In System > Preferences > Removable Drives and Media, in both boxes, for Storage tab, the 3 top boxes have check marks. Mounted on /media. On my daughters box, nothing in /media. It's /dev/hdc. Question: What configuration file do I need to change, in her box? TIA! Lanny

Re: [CentOS] Can't get ipw2200 to work in CentOS 5 on Dell laptop
by andy.allen＠virgin.net 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Thanks again Phil for all your help, It's now on the hardware tab OK and says ipw2200 eth1 ethernet configured! However, what I just don't understand (and sorry if I'm being dumb!) is why the "new" adapter just doesn't show up in the list of adapters on the devices tab as Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG or some such. So the problem is when I try to set up eth1 with all the necessary wireless info (WEP key etc), I can't do it because I can't select the right adapter! I'm sure I'm nearly there, but this last "small step for man" is proving to be a bit of "a giant leap...."!

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but you do need to reboot after adding the line to /etc/modprobe.conf. Memory is hazy as I have not done this for quite a while, but I believe you also need to add the adapter in system-config-network with "New" on the "Devices" tab. It does have to show up on the "Hardware" tab for this to work. Assuming you get that far, it is good to create separate profiles to use when you move from wired to wireless. These can be selected at boot time by adding "netprofile="MyProfileName" (in my case MyProfileName can be "Wired", "WiFi", or a few other location-dependent values) to the kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.conf - otherwise defaults to the last used profile. Can either manually edit at boot time (requires you to remember the legal profile names) or maintain separate grub stanzas for different profiles.

hello, I have problem to install lm_sensors on CentOS 4.5 (Linux 2.6.9-42.ELsmp). I am getting error message "FATAL: Module bmcsensors not found." after I enter "modprobe bmcsensors". I got advice to install http://bmcsensors-26.sourceforge.net/ into my kernel, but I don't know how to do it. Does somebody has experience how to get lm-sensors working on CentOS 4.5 ?

Building rpm-s from binaries
by Tomasz Napierała 11 Aug '07

11 Aug '07

Hi, We'd like to simplify deployment of new blades and I need to package some of proprietary libs we are using, and obviously I don't have sources for them. Can anybody point me into good direction how to make packages from binaries? I have basic knowledge about building rpms, but it seems to be source oriented. Thanks in advance -- Tomasz Napierala System Administrator Allegro Team http://www.allegro.pl/

Unable to add new device Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG
by andy.allen＠virgin.net 11 Aug '07

11 Aug '07

Using CentOS 5 - installed ipw2200 firmware and tried to set up new eth1 wifi device, but adapter Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG doesn't show up in list of adapters when I try add New Device (ipw2200 does show up on hardware tab as ipw2200 eth1 ethernet configured). I've noticed that when I run system-config-network on command line, these errors show up: (system-config-network:3160): libglade-WARNING **: Error loading image: Failed to open file '/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/network.xpm': No such file or directory (system-config-network:3160): libglade-WARNING **: could not convert string to type `GdkPixbuf' for property `logo' Is this significant and if so what can I do to rectify - thanks, Andy -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com What can On Demand Business Solutions do for you? http://link.mail2web.com/Business/SharePoint

yum install libstdc++-devel
by Tony Schreiner 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

On CentOS 4.5 (x86_64); happening on several different machines with libstdc++ and libstdc++-devel v. 3.4.6-8 only one of the i386 or x86_64 versions of libstc++-devel is installed if I yum install libstdc++-devel it will install the x86_64 version and remove the i386 version, but not warn me. Similarly if the i386 version is installed it will install the x86_64 and remove the i386, without warning. But if i remove libstc++-devel (and necessarily gcc-c++), then reinstall with yum install gcc-g++ libstdc++-devel both versions of libstdc++-devel will be installed.

Re: [CentOS] Can't get ipw2200 to work in CentOS 5 on Dell laptop
by andy.allen＠virgin.net 10 Aug '07

Thanks again Phil, I've added alias eth1 ipw2200 to /etc/modprobe.conf, but I still can't get it to a) recognize eth1 and/or b) to list the Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG adapter, so I can't confiure eth1. I'm obviously missing something, but with the help of people on the CentOS list, I think I'm creeping nearer to the eventual solution, so any more help is much appreciated!

Now that you mention it, IIRC I had to add "alias eth1 ipw2200" to /etc/modprobe.conf to get eth1 to show up on my laptop.

Custom vmlinuz/initrd.img ??
by drew einhorn 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Unless I am barking up the wrong tree. I need to build a custom vmlinuz/initrd.img. I am using cobbler http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/ and am trying to get it to work with VMware, When I imported the CentOS 5 installation CD cobbler selected a vmlinuz/initrd.img and stuffed them into /tftpboot/images/CentOS5-i386/ I don't betlieve this vmlinuz/initrd.img supports the WMware network drivers. How do I check what drivers are supported in this vmlinuz/initrd.img pair? If as I suspect I need to add support for the vmware nic drivers, how do I do that? -- Drew Einhorn
