Wireless and kernelproblem on IBM Z61m
by Mats Hellman 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Just got almost everything set up on my IBM/Lenovo Z61m and now wondering if there is a graphical tool to set up wireless networking. Also for some reason the kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3 and 2.6.9-42.0.8 hang if rc.sysinit includes the sound initialization. I've tried the plus kernel also and the same thing happens there. The only one working is 2.6.9-22 but on that one networking doesn't. If anyone has any idea of how to start debuging this problem let me know. The dmesg output from the kernel 2.6.9-22 can be found at: http://ssh.nixadmins.net/~mahellma/dmesg_z61m.txt And the output from 2.6.9-42 at: http://ssh.nixadmins.net/~mahellma/z61m_2.6.9-42.0.8.EL_dmesg.txt Any help welcome. -- Mats Hellman Nätverkstekniker / Verkkoteknikko / Network technician Samfundet Folkhälsan Topeliusgatan 20 / Topeliuksenkatu 20 00250 Helsingfors / 00250 Helsinki Finland +358 9 315 5353 +358 50 467 5758 @ mats.hellman(a)folkhalsan.fi Public key: https://iris.folkhalsan.fi/crt/MatsHellman.asc

Anybody know which package this utility (xkbset) is in? I'm pretty sure I had it installed and it was uninstalled by the latest series of upgrades... Thanks, Maciej

Clamav .90x that worked for me
by rado 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

I always update clamav from dag but this time it gave me fits. On a clean install of clamav ver .90 that I did...after first completely erasing (rpm -e clamav ...etc for all clamav files), I then installed ver 9.0 and the fix for me was to edit /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter in 2 places: completely remove the line: dont-log-clean don't just comment it out...in the flags, it has to be removed and also on the socket line ...should start by -obl...edit it to -ol I think also in /etc/crond.conf you should also edit the commented line: #LogClean to LogClean yes I didn't edit /etc/crond.conf on this machine but am fixing to right now...although it works w/out it thx John Rose

I did get it right in my subject line. Also, my network configuration includes a local DNS, so I've been able to reach the NFS server by name. But it occurs to me that I need to place that information on the ks.cfg file on the cdrom portion, not the "some_file.cfg" located on the nfs share. > install nfs --server=1.2.3.4 --dir=/vol/updts/staging/CentOS_4.3 > %include /path/to/file > > Once the installation system is running, the mount point for the > used NFS share by directive "install" is /mnt/source . The really great info you gave me is the mount point the nfs command uses. [snip] > my $ 0.02 > > Pierre Bourgin Thanks. === Al

I didn't see it at the above URL.... Thanks.

Jim Perrin wrote: > Easiest way is via yum: > yum --enablerepo centosplus install kernel-module-xfs As I understand it, there are repercussions, or implications, to using the centosplus features, like base kernel incompatibilities and soon. If true, can you elaborate, and if not please let me/us know. Thanks.
