Centos 4 and Supermicro ICH7R
by ricardo oliveira 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

Hi: I've tried to install centos 4.3 in a raid array, setuped on bios as mode "Adaptec". The chip is ICH7R but centos always sees 2 drives instead of the array that I create. I've contacted Supermicro support and they gave me this link ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SATA/Adaptec_ICH7R/Linux/Redhat/ , but the disk drivers I tried to use with centos 4.3 did not work, saying that the disk did not containt appropriate drivers for the hardware. Have anyone here had similar problems? does centos 4.4 solves this issue? I really need to install centos as an array... and as hardware RAID and not software RAID. Best Regards, Ricardo

Still unsure of the Dag Repos for CentOS 3
by Steve Campbell 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

I have read the Wiki for the Yum stuff, and tried to pay attention to the variations for Centos 3/Centos 4 mentioned, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get the Dag repo working properly on my CentOS 3 system. I have installed the rpmforge rpm, but this doesn't seem to do much. It does create(I think it created it) the yum.repos.d folder, and I edited the Dag repos file to be enabled. But as I was told before, yum on version 3 does not use this folder. Now I can add the contents of the rpmforge.repo file directly to my yum.conf, and make this work, but is this how it is supposed to be configured? The real question is: How is the rpmforge rpm supposed to work on Centos 3? Thanks for any clarity. Steve Campbell campbell(a)cnpapers.com Charleston Newspapers

CentOS 4 CPAN problem
by FTN 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

Not sure if this is the proper list, but I've spent days browsing for the solution. This only happens on the CentOS machine, so I'll start here. After upgrading CPAN, I get the following: undefined subroutine &Compress::Zlib::gzopen called at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN/Tarzip.pm line 102. "gzopen" seems to refer to a PHP command. Am I missing a module, or have I hit a bug? KS

I'm coming to the conclusion that RH, and by extension, CentOS just won't allow you to use a kickstart file over the network w/o DHCP. I can and have used NFS as long as I place the kickstart file on the CD itself. That's a pain. === Al

ASUS M2V mobo issues
by David Baker 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

We have 4 systems supported by ASUS M2V mobos with AMD2 cpus on board. No we haven't gotten CentOS of any flavor to work yet. Yes, we did load Fedora Core 6 and it worked, with respect to the SATA driver only. There is a RAID, Audio and LAN driver for Linux that comes on the M2V mobo CD. The audio driver installs and works fine on FC6. I've read many of the messages with respect to setting up the LAN driver. We've had the best success with the 1.0.4.x Attansic driver being provided by Jay Cliburn (kernel 2.6.18.x). He has been very helpful with this. He has a 2.x driver which doesn't appear to work with the 2.6.18 kernel and we haven't gotten any LAN driver to work with the 2.6.19 upgrade so we've fallen back to the FC6 2.6.18.x kernel for now. I took someone's advice and downloaded the bios flash app and tried that approach. I immediately toasted the BIOS chip. I called ASUS in Louisville, KY and they advised that I get a new BIOS chip. The conversation seemed to indicate this was not a new phenomenon. I ordered a new chip for each machine with their newest BIOS. I inserted a new chip in one of the systems and fired it up. Low and behold, the chip is not an MV2 BIOS as before, but an American Megatrends BIOS (2.45.x). It works much better and there are more appropriate settings in the BIOS now for ACPI. The plug and play drivers in CentOS 4.4 may work better with this BIOS as well since there are no onboard LAN settings in the BIOS setup. I'm hoping this means I can use CentOS on these systems now. I'll keep you posted. If you contact the http://helpdesk.asus.com <http://helpdesk.asus.com/> and call their tech support (ext 3). They'll put you in touch with a gal who will ship you the new chip for 5 bucks (5 to 10 day ground). I think it's worth it, so far. David Baker

XFS for CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 [ was: issue - no keyboard after reboot]
by Mark Hull-Richter 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Okay, so far so good - and many thanks to all who jumped in on this one. Now, we would like to look into making some changes in XFS, but I didn't see a SRPM for the kernel-module-xfs for 42.0.8 - the most recent one is for 42.0.3. Is this usable, or is there somewhere (else?) I can get the SRPM for the 42.0.8 XFS? Thanks. > -----Original Message----- > From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org > [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Jim Perrin > Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2007 12:18 PM > To: CentOS mailing list > Subject: Re: [CentOS] CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 issue - no keyboard > after reboot > > Yes, there are.

Firefox 2.0
by Barton Callender 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Good day, I know this is simple but I cant seem to figure this out. I have firefox 2.0 installed and its running fine. The problem is how to get the system defaults to work with it. For instance, if I wanted to install the adobe rpm from their website, how do I get firefox2.0 to prompt me for the default application to install it. Or if I downloaded a .tar.gz and wanted to extract it, how to do get firefox to prompt for that default application.
