Re: [CentOS] Screen blacked out
by techlists＠comcast.net 07 Mar '07

Yes, as mentioned below, I edited /etc/inittab from rescue mode, and changed it to run level 3.

Hi Everyone, Any recommendations for a wireless card for my desktop running CentOS? I found various posts for choosing wireless cards for laptops not for dekstops. Thanks. -- "I never look back darling, it distracts from the now", Edna Mode (The Incredibles)

I don't think it's the xconfigs, I think it's the driver for the monitor. There's nothing wrong with the monitor; the boot messages display on the screen until a certain point, and then the screen blacks out. How can I get the system to look at a different driver? Paul

RE: [CentOS] 4.4 on PE6400 - not rebooting ... FINALLY WORKS !
by Joe Kazura 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Folks - FYI: I finally got it to work (at least once)! reboot=bios,smp,warm Since I didn't actually TRY 'reboot=triple', I, of course, am wondering if 'reboot=triple' is synonymous for 'reboot=bios,smp,warm' ... Mmmmm - masochism!!! A co-worker pointed me to this: /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.9/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt Specifically: reboot= [BUGS=IA-32,BUGS=ARM,BUGS=IA-64] Rebooting mode Format: <reboot_mode>[,<reboot_mode2>[,...]] See arch/*/kernel/reboot.c or arch/*/kernel/process.c BUT - I don't have either 'reboot.c' or 'process.c' (ARG!) So ... after a TON of googling I found references to various combinations of the three, but not all three together. It works!!!

PowerDNS binaries on centosplus?
by Devraj Mukherjee 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Hi everyone, How does one go about putting a request for getting a package included in centosplus? We are heavy users the product PowerDNS and are keen to see that be included in the centosplus repository, so it can be compiled against other recent packages like MySQL5 etc. Any pointers will be helpful -- "I never look back darling, it distracts from the now", Edna Mode (The Incredibles)

VT-x or AMD-V capable machines
by Tom Diehl 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Does anyone know how to tell if a machine is VT-x or AMD-V capable before I buy it? I have read some mailing list stuff that even if the processor is capable, sometimes it is disabled in the BIOS, with no way to enable it. I think HP was/is doing this. Can anyone shed some light on the current situation wrt this? Regards, -- Tom Diehl tdiehl(a)rogueind.com Spamtrap address mtd123(a)rogueind.com
