And ultimately, if senior management decides to make a policy banning access via technical means, then junior network and firewall admins don't get to argue the point. ;) Best, --- Les Bell, RHCE, CISSP [http://www.lesbell.com.au] Tel: +61 2 9451 1144 FreeWorldDialup: 800909

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5 dual head doesn't work

Intel 965 Chipset and CentOS 5
by J 03 May '07

03 May '07

I'm trying to install CentOS 5 on an Intel DG965W MB, but I'm getting a kernel panic: VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(253,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(253,0) I suspect it is because the drive is not being recognized (at all), but I'm not sure. I've tried various combinations of flags, including: all-generic-ide, pci=nommconf, remapping [enabled], irqpoll, acpi=off ... ... but the result is always the same... Are there issues with this chipset and Centos 5? ( RHEL's HCL is unhelpful. It was empty, when I checked. )

Does anyone know where you can find an RPM for this? I'm just trying to rip some MP3s on my upgraded box. The last of the things I can't do. Preston

Re: [CentOS] Good things about CentOS 5; problem with flash in seamonkey [SOLVED]
by Mark Hull-Richter 03 May '07

03 May '07

For the interest of all concerned: The 32-bit version of Seamonkey works perfectly with the flash plugin. I haven't tested others yet, including the acrobat reader, but I have much more confidence that problems encountered there will be easily soluble. Thanks to all who contributed, especially Jim Perrin, who gave me the critical clue as to what was not working. -- Mark Hull-Richter DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 - Office 949-330-7691 - fax Ask me about CentOS Linux, and escape from Windows forever!

Can't get resolution higher than 1280x1024 - Centos 5
by Paul 03 May '07

03 May '07

Hello all, I can't get higher than 1280x1024 resolution (60hz, 24 depth). I'm running Centos 5 x86 64bit on AMD Athlon64 x2 4600, Geforce 6200 PCI express. Even as root, that is the highest I can set the display. I am guessin the kernel does not support my combo? I've also tried Nvidia's driver from their site, this is what I get: # more nvidia-installer.log nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' creation time: Mon Apr 30 22:11:36 2007 option status: license pre-accepted : false update : false force update : false expert : false uninstall : false driver info : false precompiled interfaces : true no ncurses color : false query latest version : false OpenGL header files : true no questions : false silent : false no recursion : false no backup : false kernel module only : false sanity : false add this kernel : false no runlevel check : false no network : false no ABI note : false no RPMs : false no kernel module : false force SELinux : default no X server check : false force tls : (not specified) force compat32 tls : (not specified) X install prefix : (not specified) X library install path : (not specified) X module install path : (not specified) OpenGL install prefix : (not specified) OpenGL install libdir : (not specified) compat32 install chroot : (not specified) compat32 install prefix : (not specified) compat32 install libdir : (not specified) utility install prefix : (not specified) utility install libdir : (not specified) doc install prefix : (not specified) kernel name : (not specified) kernel include path : (not specified) kernel source path : (not specified) kernel output path : (not specified) kernel install path : (not specified) proc mount point : /proc ui : (not specified) tmpdir : /tmp ftp mirror : ftp://download.nvidia.com RPM file list : (not specified) Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface -> License accepted. -> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)?

Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
