VMWare vs Parallels, and Zen
by Miark 09 Apr '07

09 Apr '07

I've seen several references to running VMWare under CentOS, but does anybody know how well Parallels runs under CentOS? On a related note, now that Zen is as mature as it is, are commercial VMs really much better than Zen? Miark

hard disk move to another server
by dan1 09 Apr '07

09 Apr '07

Hello everyone. I am looking for a way to move a CentOS 4 installed production hard disk to another system (which has another hardware). The first has an nvidia sata controller (sata_nv), but the second has a via sata (sata_via). For all the rest of the hardware it can upgrade well I know, but if the sata driver is different, then the system doesn't boot because the proper driver is not included in the initrd file (grub still boots OK). Here is the error message: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.8 starting mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed: 22 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Does anyone know how I could upgrade easily this initrd file to contain the proper driver, and even from another partition? Would it be possible to keep an old config-xx file and do an rpm upgrade which would automatically recompile a proper initrd-xx file for that new system? Thanks for any help. Daniel

Updates for Cluster Suite 4?
by Tarun Reddy 09 Apr '07

09 Apr '07

Understanding that much work is probably being done on Centos 5, are there plans to keep Cluster Suite's files updated? Specifically, the kernel modules haven't been recompiled for newer kernel versions. I'm going to recompile them myself from the SRPMS, but was wondering about the future... Thanks, Tarun

I have an application which runs on servers running everything between RH 7.3 and CentOS 4.4. My development hardware (RH 7.3) is getting long in the tooth and needs to be replaced. Can someone point me to a "how to" install the GCC 2.96 environment on a CentOS 4.4 platform. Thank you. Marc Ferguson Trapeze Software 757-961-9224 x304

Re: [CentOS] Installing centos in a Compaq ML350 G5
by CARLOS CERRATO 09 Apr '07

ok... if this can be useful for somebody. Finally, we can download the appropriate driver (cpqiss....), put it in a floppy and use it. But, ... Centos can't use it... We use a copy of RH Enterprise and all ran ok. So, Centos is not 100% compatible. And, now, RHEL don't recognize the Ethernet Card. Maybe we will buy RHEL and get the appropriate driver for being totally operative. I will keep you informed. Or, if you have a better idea. I will appreciate it. Thanks for all.

I, for one, have experimented quite enough, and I am looking for a desktop distro that is good for the long haul. I currently run Kubuntu 6.06 LTS, and I like it, but I don't like the support plan. My impression is that CentOS upgrades, following the upstream vendor, are going to be more solid than those of other distros, genuinely upgradeable, and supported for a sensible length of time. And I like the tone of the mailing list. There has been a rapid increase in Linux use over a very few years. Most people will have tried Fedora, Ubuntu, SUSE, etc. for a year or two, and many will now have refined their requirement to match the CentOS virtues. The historical hit rates on DistroWatch make an interesting study, revealing not only the changes in volume of interest, but also the changes in relative popularity. CentOS came in at 62 in 2004, in 2005 it was at 15, where it stayed for 2006, but a current 30 day span brings it up to 11. I would say this indicates increased curiosity, surely the imminence of CentOS 5 cannot be a coincidence?

Either way the mirrors should be getting hammered when it's out. I suspect this release is widely and eagerly anticipated. There will be many our here like me who are looking to migrate to a stable, long-term upgradeable distro that comes with a specification that is not far behind the latest "cool but buggy" efforts. Some people want a Linux to experiment with, others need one they can rely on to earn a living. CentOS 5 looks like it should fit the bill.

XEN Paravirtualized CentOS5 beta on CentOS5 beta
by Patrick Lodder 08 Apr '07

08 Apr '07

Dear All, I'm trying to install CentOS5 beta as paravirtualized guest on a CentOS5 Xen host using virt-manager. Everything seems to go OK. I'm able to run virt-manager and fill-out all the details. Because you can only do a http/ftp/nfs install when setting up a paravirtualized guest using virt-manager, I made the whole contents of the CentOS5 beta DVD available via ftp. The start of the system looks fine. I can provide details about networking, but then I get a screen which ask me to fill-out the CentOS install directory(is "suggests" the same directory I used in virt-manager). But whatever I use it doesn't accept it. I am confident that I provided the correct directory, because the screens show CentOS on it. Also I created the ftp install-source as per the documentation. I've also tested it with fedora core 6 as described in the screenshots on virt-manager.et.redhat.com (e.g used the same install-source: ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/) but no luck there. A screenshot is attached that contain the screen I get over and over. Did anybody succeed in getting CentOS5 running as guest in CentOS5? Kind regards, Patrick
