Centos kernel does not boot, redhat does (i2o raid controller problem)
by Rainer Traut 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hi, following system: Dell PE2650, 2 2.4ghz Xeon, 1gb ram, Dell Perc4DC Controller It has EL5 installed, but I wanted to change to Centos because of the missing workstation packages in the entry server repository. The system was redhat up2date until yesterday, so the latest kernel was missing. I changed redhat-release to centos-release packages and the new centos kernel was installed the via yum. This kernel does not boot. Error messages: i20:iop0: Get status timeout i20:iop0: Reset timeout i20:iop0: could not reset controller i20:iop0: Reset timeout kernel panic Here are my findings when setting emulation in scsi adapter bios to i2o: - initial redhat el5 install fails, no adapter found (mayby centos install is affected, too, have to set to 'mass storage' to install) - redhat's kernel-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 and kernel-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 boot with i20 enabled - centos latest 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 does not! error messages above - setting to 'mass storage' all is fine Is this really a centos kernel problem (I read in centos kernel changelog about special centos changes), or is this for any reason because this is actually a redhat system? Thx Rainer

Centos 5 text install doesnt install all of GNOME
by Robert Moskowitz 04 May '07

04 May '07

I did find this out in another message here and they are right. This is a missing piece (one of many!) in the text install. Even if you select Gnome as your workstation WIndows environment, not all of Gnome gets in. You still have to do: yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" Then edit /etc/inittab file to reflect as shown below id:5:initdefault: ^ This number should be 5.

Hi all, This might be more suitable for the shorewall list, but no one has replied yet for several days. I'm trying bandwidth management feature of shorewall-3.4.1-3 on Centos 4.4 with no updates. I've got this error: May 4 22:30:14 gateway shorewall: ERROR: Command "tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 13" Failed I've checked the kernel conf (make menuconfig), that TC support for htb, sfq, e32, etc are modularized supported.

centos 5 - where are genkey and crypto-utils?
by Florin Andrei 04 May '07

04 May '07

The RHEL 5 documentation talks about a utility called genkey, apparently part of a package called crypto-utils: https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Gui… However, I can't find that package or that utility on CentOS 5 - did a few digging with yum but nothing showed up. Anybody knows: 1. What happened to those things on CentOS 5? 2. What is the "official" CentOS 5 replacement for genkey, in case it's missing from the distribution? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
