1 Disk CentOS 5 Install and mucho grande mondo thanks to the CentOS developers!
by R Lists06 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Greetings CentOS developers, users, and addicts! As per earlier post, a CentOS 5 linux text install does install just fine using *only* the 1st CD (1 out of 6) if you go to custom software selection and deselect everything... very sweet!!! the same cannot be said of the default "just hit enter" GUI install... (no, I am not knocking or putting down what we were just so graciously handed by the developers) BTW, thank you CentOS Developers!!! You rock! Very smooth install on an old DL360 with Dual 1.266 GHz processors and 4 Gig DRAM, a 128M Smart Array 5304 caching controller and qty (2) 36.4 Gig 15000 rpm SCSI drives in hardware RAID1 Sweeeeeeeetttttttt... I cannot believe how SNAPPY CentOS 5 is... Sweeeeeeetttttttttt.... So excited, I just ordered some more multiprocessor toys to install it on next week. Thanks again! - rh -- Abba Communications Internet PO Box 7175 Spokane, WA 99207-7175 www.abbacomm.net

Using nVidia driver, screensaver issues
by David A. Woyciesjes 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

The nVidia driver is running right, but now when I try to select some screensavers, like Anemotaxis, X restarts. /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old show it aborting on a signal 11... These 3 (now wrapped) lines show up in the system log... Apr 12 15:45:51 hack-f dbus: Can't send to audit system: USER_AVC pid=10939 uid=500 loginuid=-1 message=avc: 1 AV entries and 1/512 buckets used, longest chain length 1 Apr 12 15:45:52 hack-f gdm[10665]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 Apr 12 15:45:52 hack-f gdm(pam_unix)[10665]: session closed for user dw49 Hmmm... time to dig further, and select a different screensaver. :) -- --- David Woyciesjes

Read performance on software RAID1?
by WipeOut 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hi, Since the data is available in two places on a RAID1 array does the code in any way make use of that for improved performance by reading (different) data form both disks at the same time? Or is the one disk simply a slave that just receives copies of the data and is never really read from at all? Thanks

NVidia Quadro4 200/400 NVS CentoOS 4.4
by David A. Woyciesjes 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

I've put a Nvidia Quadro card in my machine. It was first detected as Quadro4 200/400 NVS. I have the pigtail for dual monitors. I've tried tweaking the xorg file to get it working, to no avail. So I then downloaded the 9631 version driver from Nvidia. The readme for the newer files said that they didn't support this card. I run the installer, it builds the module, but gets stopped at "-1 Invalid module format" Now, what to do? -- --- David Woyciesjes

CentOS 4.4 LiveCD instructions
by Andy Allen 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

I'm upgrading my current RedHat9 installation to CentOS 4.4, so decided to buy the 4.4 LiveCD (rather than downloading and burning an ISO). I thought the LiveCD was simply a 'reduced' version and that I could install from it, but I find I don't actually know what to do with it and can't find any relatively simple instructions (I'm a bit of a newbie to linux but think it's great!). Any advice gratefully received - thanks. Andy

CentOS 5 64-bits support (desktop environment)
by Leonardo Pinheiro 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hello, Does CentOS 5 use a better approach to 64-bits and 32-bits packages existing on the same machine? How is Upstream package selection comparing 32-bits and 64-bits editions? Should we expect third-party repositories (mainly rpmforge) to better support 64-bits packages? I want to figure out if I should use CentOS/RHEL 5 x86_64 in desktop environment.

bonding
by Scott McClanahan 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

I four nodes setup to do active-backup bonding and the drivers loaded for the bonded network interfaces vary between tg3 and e100. All interfaces with the e100 driver loaded report errors much like what you see here: bonding: bond0: link status definitely down for interface eth2, disabling it e100: eth2: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex bonding: bond0: link status definitely up for interface eth2. This happens all day on every node. I have configured the bonding module to do MII link monitoring at a frequency of 100 milliseconds and it is using basic carrier link detection to test if the interface is alive or not. There was no custom building of any modules on these nodes and the o/s is CentOS 4.3. Some more relevant information is below (this display is consistent across all nodes): [smccl@tf35 ~]$uname -srvmpio Linux 2.6.9-34.ELhugemem #1 SMP Wed Mar 8 00:47:12 CST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [smccl@tf35 ~]$head -5 /etc/modprobe.conf alias bond0 bonding options bonding miimon=100 mode=1 alias eth0 tg3 alias eth1 tg3 alias eth2 e100 [smccl@tf35 ~]$cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v2.6.1 (October 29, 2004) Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup) Primary Slave: None Currently Active Slave: eth0 MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 Slave Interface: eth0 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:10:18:0c:86:a4 Slave Interface: eth2 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 12 Permanent HW addr: 00:02:55:ac:a2:ea Any idea why these e100 links report failures so often? They are directly plugged into a Cisco Catalyst 4506. Thanks.

First install of CentOS5
by Akemi at gmail 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

OK, the installation finished and the system booted. This is an attempt to upgrade 4.92 using anaconda. I noticed some problems. For example, network device was not found. I will later try a fresh install on the same machine to see if the issue is related to upgrading. Akemi
