by Russ 28 Apr '07

28 Apr '07

I'm installing CentOS 4.4 64-bit Enterprise on a Dell Dimension with and AMD dual core 3800+. When it starts to load eth0 it hangs. I have not found a way to break out of it. Or how to boot at run level 0. So newby Question 1 how do I get it to boot without loading eth0 so I can make changes? Question 2 what is a likely problem and fix. Question 3 what is good documentation and other resource to find answers for sys admin questions. Thanks, Russ

Problems with RAID0 array on new server
by Michael Slater 28 Apr '07

28 Apr '07

Hello, i recently installed Centos 5 on a new server with a single scsii disk. After the installation, i added 2 additional disks that were once the components of a raid0 array on another server. I get some errors and am unable to start the array the following is an extract from dmesg output: md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: could not open unknown-block(8,17). md: could not open unknown-block(8,33). i then examined each disk in fdisk Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 17501 17921008 fd Linux raid autodetect Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 1 17501 17921008 fd Linux raid autodetect I tried to re-create the array and get this: mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 mdadm: chunk size defaults to 64K mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdb1: No such device or address mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdc1: No such device or address mdadm: create aborted yet obviously the devices are there. what else should i look at. putting the drives back in the old server, and the array comes up with all data intact. Any ideas ? thanks, Michael ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

CentOS, RTL8196 and jumbo frames.
by Steven Haigh 28 Apr '07

28 Apr '07

Hi all, I've just upgraded my home network to a Linksys SRW2024 (with lovely vlan trunking support!) and I'm trying to enable jumbo frames. When I try to set the MTU of an rtl8169 based network card (it's a Netgear RA311), it comes up with an error stating: # ifconfig eth1 mtu 9000 SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument The only options it will take are 1500 or below. Does anyone know anything about this? Do I need to set something special? -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz(a)crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9017 0597 - 0404 087 474

unexpected mass closing of terminal windows
by Brian Barnes 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Hello, I apologize if this isn't quite the right spot to ask, but I did some googling on fc6, rhel5, centos5, terminal closings, etc and came up blank. Three times since I installed CentOS5 on this machine (11 days ago), I have had ***all my my terminal windows spontaneously exit***. For example: just now, I have a CD playing, firefox open with a few tabs, and emacs open. I also had ~5 terminal windows open, one for email and four for work. While typing an email on a remote machine in pine, *all* of my terminal windows exited. Just plain disappeared. Everything else, including the emacs copy started from one of those terminals, is running fine. It's a frustrating thing to see happen! Has anyone else experienced this? This is in the gnome desktop, x86-64 install, all the latest updates from yum. The machine is a nforce3 board with 1 gig of ram, Athlon64, sata drive, and NFS mounted home directories. Thanks, Brian

kernel source kernel-devel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL RPM
by Sebastian Walter 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Dear list, for the purpose of installing a qlogic driver into my system, I need the exact kernel source version mentioned above. The kernel version is a dependency for the cluster suite (for centos4) package, which has been installed using yum (yum install cman gfs [...]). Where can I get the kernel source for this exact version? The only one which is offered to me by yum is version 2.6.9-42.0.10, which I could re-link of course with /usr/src/linux-2.6, but isn't there a nicer way? is asking thankfully Sebastian

How to get arcnet working with other-than-root accounts?
by Charles E Campbell Jr 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Hello! I've successfully gotten the arcnet driver compiled and installed into a Centos kernel. Admittedly, with a lot of help. Currently, I'm using the following script to get arcnet up and running: cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9/drivers/net/arcnet insmod arcnet.ko insmod arc-rawmode.ko insmod com20020.ko insmod com20020-pci.ko node=3 device=arc0 timeout=3 backplane=0 clockp=0 clockm=0 insmod rfc1201.ko ifconfig arc0 up The raw-recv and raw-send examples now work after this, but only when run as root. When run as a regular user, I get: socket: Operation not permitted So: what can I do to remove that root-only restriction? Thank you! Chip Campbell
