RE: [CentOS] CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 issue - no keyboard after reboot
by Mark Hull-Richter 13 Feb '07

I'm still new to CentOS/RHEL and rpm, so let me do this: > I can guarantee that they both build fine on the centos builders and on > a machine with all the x86_64 packages and the only i[3,4,5,6]86 > packages are glibc.i686 and glibc-devel.i386. How do I find this out? If I do an rpm -q -a, I get 250+ lines of output, none of which appear to be specifically identified/identifiable as x86_64.... > You should either be building with plague and a full x86_64 tree ... or > a full tree as described in my first paragraph. Not sure what that means, per se. I'm building with rpm. > Now, as to whether the keyboard works, that could be an issue.

I'm not sure how to answer that. I have a plain installation of CentOS 4.4 for x86_64 SMP (2.6.9-42.0.3), installed from the DVD. I am now running 2.6.9-42.0.8 built from the rpm package http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/updates/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-42.0.8.EL .src.rpm using the fedora rpmdevtools, kernel-smp-devel and the "development tools" packages (from yum or the DVD).

The one question which has not been addressed yet is 'what does your build environment look like?'

RE: [CentOS] CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 issue - no keyboard after reboot
by Mark Hull-Richter 12 Feb '07

New details: I am running an SMP machine and have been using the kernel-2.6.9-x86_64-smp.config config file, which is the one that I can't get to work. So, I figured, what the heck, I'll just use the kernel-2.6.9-x86_64.config config file instead and just turn on SMP in make menuconfig. Voila! It works. There are huge differences between these two config files, and I'm wondering what the heck is messed up in the former such that it doesn't work but the latter does, even on SMP?

Um, the whole point of rpm based distributions is that you don't have to build them. That part is done for you. That said, it all rebuilds cleanly if you have a proper build environment. That's one of the things which the centos developers are very picky about. It's also pretty fundamental to the distribution, as it's all rebuilt from the sources of the upstream vendor. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

RE: [CentOS] CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 issue - no keyboard after reboot
by Mark Hull-Richter 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

I have now built about six kernels for this and none of them come up right - they all refuse to acknowledge the keyboard, and the mouse is jerky and erratic. I have checked the config to make sure that USB HID devices are recognized, and that the keyboard is the right one (AT). I have tried unplugging and re-plugging the keyboard, switching their positions on the LCD hub, even plugging directly into the motherboard - nothing works. Is there a bug or other problem in the standard USB driver for 42.0.8? This is frustrating, and it has halted my development. I should be able to build and run the straight distro rpm without this kind of grief, shouldn't I? Suggestions, comments, etc. welcome. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Mark Hull-Richter Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 10:33 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 issue - no keyboard after reboot I did this twice now, although the first couple of builds seemed to work ok, they just weren't configured quite right. On my third and fourth builds of the 42.0.8 kernel rpm, when booting, kudzu came up and ran, but the keyboard was somehow not recognized and I had to reboot using the mouse on the login screen (no text appears no matter what I type). I'm using the rpm build strategy from Jim's wiki, which works nicely, but my fallback is a 42.0.3 non-smp kernel. My main question, though, is how did this happen? Is there a config switch or something else I missed? I'm using the base kernel-2.6.9-x86_64-smp.config, and tweaking it to include ext3 and xfs in the kernel (instead of loadable ext3 and no xfs). Why? Well, we need xfs to load so we can find out why it's so damned slow on cached vs. direct i/o. We have some tweaks we put into xfs (current version, using SuSE Linux 9.something) in order to be able to control the way the extents are allocated. We need to be able to do large i/os in large chunks quickly, and that kind of allocation works better than little pieces all over the place. (We're looking at 8Mb chunks and larger.) With direct i/o, we can get around 30-40Mb/s transfer rates, but with cached (i.e., kernel) i/o, we are stuck at 8, which is too slow. It turns out we get better performance from jfs, but we want to use xfs because it is faster with our changes. The main issue here, though, is the failure of CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 to recognize the keyboard - why would that happen? Thanks. mhr _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

tcpwrappers hosts.allow netmask problem
by t m 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

I can't seem to get netmask notations to work in /etc/hosts.allow on my Centos 4.4 systems. The docs seem to indicate that network specifications like 192.168.100.0/24 or 192.168.100.0/255.255.255.0 should work. However, I can only get networks specified like 192.168.100. to work. Anyone know what I'm missing? Thanks, Tom

How to prevent reading of an xml in a particular directory from browser in apache on Centos4.4
by ankush grover 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

hi friends, I have configured a HelpDesk Ticketing System on Centos4.4. The problem I am facing is that there is a file called "site.xml" which contains the information about database connections and I don't want ppl to be able to read that file through browser. As per the readme.htm of that software if the below entries will be put in .htaccess then nobody can read the xml through browser. <Files ~ ".xml"> Order allow,deny Deny from all Satisfy All </Files> Even though the above entries are there in .htaccess still I am able to read "site.xml" file. How do I prevent the reading of this file ? HelpDesk Ticketing Software is under /var/www/html/request and .htaccess is also under /var/www/html/request. Please let me know if you need any further information. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover

problem building lvm2-cluster on ia64
by Greenseid, Joseph M. 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

I am trying to install GFS on an ia64 cluster. I have been going by the Red Hat GFS 6.1 Administrator's Guide, and have built all the source rpms necessary except for one - lvm2-cluster-2.02.06-7.0.RHEL4.src.rpm is failing every single time at this place: gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,liblvm2cmd.so.2.02 \ -Wl,--version-script,.export.sym -lselinux -lsepol -ldl -o liblvm2cmd.so -Wl,-whole-archive liblvm2cmd.a -Wl,-no-whole-archive make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/LVM2.2.02.06/tools' error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.1234 (%build) The last few lines of the rpm.tmp.[foo] file is always: ./configure --build=ia64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=ia64-redhat-linux-gnu \ --target=ia64-redhat-linux-gnu \ --program-prefix= \ --prefix=/usr \ --exec-prefix=/usr \ --bindir=/usr/bin \ --sbindir=/usr/sbin \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --datadir=/usr/share \ --includedir=/usr/include \ --libdir=/usr/lib \ --libexecdir=/usr/libexec \ --localstatedir=/var \ --sharedstatedir=/usr/com \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-clvmd=all --with-cluster=shared --with-user= --with-group= --enable-dmeventd --enable-cmdlib make DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT I am assuming it is somewhere in this "make DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" compilation that it is bailing. The other 14 RPMs for both RH Cluster Suite and GFS have all built fine, it is literally only this one that is giving me any trouble. Has anyone seen this, or have any suggestions? Thanks, --Joe

Orinoco mini-pci card not working
by Edward Milstein 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Hello All, I have a Dell C800 laptop which boots and runs wonderfully with centos 4.4 except for the wireless card.. The card works fine with other OS'es but not centos.. I have read a ton of postings in various places about conflicts with orinoco_cs and host_ap, etc etc.. I have tried to add blacklist entries to /etc/hotplug/blacklist, I have tried changing the alias in /etc/modules.conf and I have tried to remove and reload modules by hand, all to no avail. I was hoping someone here could give a suggestion as I have spent the too many hours on this thus far.. Thanks in advance, -ed-

Audio File Conversion: Extract CDDA from Music CD and Save as MP3 on Hard Drive
by Lanny Marcus 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

I'm using CentOS 4.4. It looks like I can use Sound Juicer (I normally use GNOME) or KAudio Creator in KDE to do this. I've been looking for gstreamer-plugins-mp3 with the Lame MP3 codec, but the files I find quickly are for early versions of Fedora Core. If someone can give me a URL for a version that will work on CentOS 4.4, that will be greatly appreciated. Or, another Application that will do this job better. Goal is to extract selected tracks from music CDs (CDDA), convert them to MP3 and save on the hard drive, for transfer to my cell phone. TIA, Lanny
