GRUB and vga=788
by Niki Kovacs 15 May '07

15 May '07

Hi, On a minimal (e. g. without X) server install, one of the first things I do is add 'vga=788' to the 'kernel' line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, so I can use the framebuffer in 800x600 mode and have a better readability in console mode. However, I tried this on my minimal CentOS 5 install, and right after GRUB, the screen just blanks. I add that this (test) machine ran maybe a dozen other distros before, and the 'vga=788' line always did the trick. Any suggestions? Niki Kovacs -- Dyslexics have more fnu.

Trying to install CentOS 4.4 as a domU
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 15 May '07

15 May '07

Hi all, Few days ago I installed a CentOS 5 domU on a xen-box with CentOS 5 dom0 also. All worked fine; I used virt-install assistant and I created a local http repo for increase the process speed. I've tried to do the same with CentOS 4.4 domU, but always I get an error relationated with unavailable HTTP resource. It's curious... so I downloaded the x86_64 complete DVDs for 5 and 4.4 releases and I put all their containts into a local http server. I've not any problem when I use the http://local_ip/5_repo/ resource, but I always get the commented error if I use the http://local_ip/44_repo ¿Why? Obviously I've checked the DVD integrity for several times. My local http repos are exactly the same than the public http repos shows. -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

Badness in i8042_panic_blink at drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: 992
by Charles Williams 15 May '07

15 May '07

Hey all, Just wanting to add my 2 cents here. I have a X/OS 4 Dev box running on a P3 550 and 512MB. Started getting this error when I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL.XOS. added the nmi_watchdog=0 to the grub boot line and all is fine now. A strange side effect seems to be the system load has dropped by 0.5 - 1.0 since the change. may only be noticable on my box because of the older arch but still kinda nice to know. chuck _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen! http://smartsurfer.web.de/?mc=100071&distributionid=000000000066

CentOS 5 + Xen + cpuspeed
by Maciej Zenczykowski 14 May '07

14 May '07

Hey, I know xen doesn't really support cpu frequency scaling... but... I still need to have it working. Running at max speed on a laptop simply doesn't cut it. I'd be okay with any solution that would allow me to manually set the cpu speed (intel core duo) probably from within domain 0. Has anybody messed around with this? I've found some patches (rather trivial) that apparently enable cpufreq to work on dom0 in xen for amd cpu's. Anybody know of a ready-made solution for intel? or do I have to roll my own kernel patch/compile/etc (and figure out what and where to patch)... Cheers, Maciej

OT? Alt-tab flashes differently between work and home
by Mark Hull-Richter 14 May '07

14 May '07

This may be off topic, but I'm not sure where to go - been to Gnome help and google - nada (wrong search?). I have CentOS 5 on both my work and home machines, with Gnome 2.16.0 (default, straight out of the box, so to speak). At work I have two 17" FP monitors on an ATI FireGL V3400, at home I have one 19" CRT on an nVidia GeForce7100gs. When I use alt-tab to switch windows at work, the border of the window that is the current target of the switch flashes black - this is fine. At home, the whole window goes black. I'd like to change this to flash just the border at home, but . . . how? I've tried looking around for a setting for this and I can't find one, but I'm stabbing in the dark - even google doesn't give me anything, although the searches I've tried might have been off-base. Any suggestions? -- Mark Hull-Richter DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 - Office 949-330-7691 - fax
