Re: tzdata - extra info.

>> >> This was mostly a question about why yum provided a tzdata that was for a >> 2006a rpm instead of the 2006g or later when I did the yum. >> >> Thanks Still replying without digest turned off--- The yum update provided the 2006a-1 version of the tzdata file, and this apparently doesn't have the updates for the EST5EDT and America/New_York zoneinfo files. This occurred even after updating from Tao to CentOS. So, where is this fasttrack stuff, as I don't see it anywhere in my conf files. I also don't seem to be able to enable anything in the yum conf.d directory. These machines were almost all updated from Tao. Really sorry for the noise here. But thanks for the help provided.

Boot your system with the 'noapic' flag. It only seems to affect machines with IDE drives, if you have SATA, SCSI or FC drives then you are fine. -- Jeff Stacey UNIX Administrator James Richardson International

Slow clock on CentOS 4.4 in a VMware VM
by Alfred von Campe 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

I'm running a CentOS 4.4 VM on a Windows XP host with VMware Server, and have the problem that my clock runs too slow (it happens in VMware Workstation as well). It loses between 30 and 45 seconds every minute! This is a known problem and can be fixed by adding "nosmp noapic nolapic" to the boot command according to VMware tech note ID 1420. However, despite adding these options as well as some others (acpi=off pci=noacpi clock=pit) and turning off a bunch of daemons (cpuspeed, irqbalance, etc.) I still have a slow clock. Here are the daemons that are still enabled: anacron 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off apmd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off atd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off autofs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off crond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off cups 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off cups-config-daemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off denyhosts 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off gpm 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off haldaemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off iptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off kudzu 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off mdmonitor 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off messagebus 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off microcode_ctl 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off netfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off ntpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off portmap 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off readahead 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off readahead_early 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off sendmail 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off sshd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off syslog 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off vmware-tools 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off winbind 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:on 5:off 6:off xfs 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off xinetd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off Has anyone else come across this problem and if so, did you find a way to fix it?

Thanks. I did it. [root@gateway boot]# mkinitrd --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod --with=ata_piix --with=libata /root/initrd-2.6.9-42.0.8.EL.img 2.6.9-42.0.8.EL this time it worked. now it shows new modules. pls see below. [root@gateway boot]# gunzip -cd initrd-2.6.9-42.0.8.EL.img |cpio -t . etc etc/udev etc/udev/udev.conf init lib lib/libata.ko lib/jbd.ko lib/ext3.ko lib/sd_mod.ko lib/scsi_mod.ko lib/ata_piix.ko proc loopfs bin bin/udevstart bin/insmod bin/udev bin/hotplug bin/nash bin/modprobe sbin dev dev/console dev/null dev/tty1 dev/systty dev/tty2 dev/ram dev/tty3 dev/tty4 sysroot sys 2147 blocks then I did the below steps.
