How to change NIC alias?
by Linux Man 30 Dec '06

30 Dec '06

Hello all. I'm installing CentOS 4.4 over a PC with 3 ethernet cards, one onboard (gigabit) and the another two discrete PCI. During installation I have no choice to control who will be eth0, eth1 and eth2, but I need that eth0 be the onboard ethernet. In the end of the installation, it turned out to be one of the discrete ethernet eth0. I need to change that alias, so that the actual eth0 become eth1 and vice versa. Thanks a lot

I haven't bothered to play with apcupsd just because I don't need to worry about my power where my boxes live, but on the software note, I tend to find far more usefull to have linux software do something intelligent like send me an email when there's a problem so I can just forward that to my cell phone, and end up notified and able to react wherever I happen to be. I don't even see popups on the screen of my workstation, much less anything I might need a UPS on. Why would I want windows software behavior under Linux? Peter

3ware 9650SE success
by David Thompson 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

I had posted a question recently on this list regarding the new series of cards from 3ware, and wanted to follow up with some real-world results. My test motherboard was an Intel D945GTPLKR (a desktop board). I was able to use the motherboard video and plug the 3ware card into the PCIe x16 slot. The card I was testing with (16ML) is a PCIe x8 card. Hardware-wise, everything worked without a hitch. Kinda cool to be able to get high bus performance out of a desktop motherboard. I guess we all can thank the gamers for that. The driver in the currently-shipping CentOS kernel (2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp) didn't know what to do with the card. However, the driver from the 3ware web site (9.4.0.1) worked fine, and was straightforward to build and load. As typical, older versions of the cli don't work with the newer driver; I had to download the new version of the cli also. Performance-wise, the new card seems ok. The tests I ran were on a pair of striped desktop drives, so I wasn't looking for anything earth-shattering. Now on to building the real file server... Dave Thompson UW-Madison

CentOS 4.4 Strange hang on a poweredge 2900.
by Peter Serwe 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

I have a brand new poweredge 2900 with 10 SAS drives configured in two arrays via the built-in PERC 5 raid controller as: raid 1: 2x73GB raid 10: 8x300GB It's got 4GB of ram, and it's intended to be an NFS filestore. For some strange reason, logging in with ssh works great, it returns a prompt, all seems well. I go to run a simple command like 'top' or 'yum -y install <package>', and my xterm/ssh session just locks. In some cases, it's drawn half of the top screen and hung, in other cases, it doesn't even do that. Kill the xterm window, bring a new one up, right back in, try it again, it repeats. What's interesting to me is that I have all kinds of other 'lesser' systems running CentOS 4.4, and I have none of these issues with them. My ~1.1TB raid 10 drive is sliced up into 4 parts, with the big one being about 950GB. Near as I can figure, I haven't hit any limitations, but I'm stumped by something that I *think* is probably either relatively trivial, or just a straight out hardware incompatibility. One thought is that it could be related to the Gb ethernet devices (bge). Commands like 'ifconfig -a' work great. 'dmesg | grep eth0' locks up the session. This is relatively frustrating. Googling doesn't seem to net any real results, and I can't seem to find anything relevant in the logs. One more relevant bit to add, this behavior does not exist from the console.

Configuring 1440 x 900 LCD Monitor
by Pete 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

CentOS 4.4 Kernel Release 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL Monitor: ViewSonic VX1935WM Video Adapter: Intel 82945 G Express KDE 3.3 Greetings I am attempting to configure my ViewSonic VX1935WM widescreen monitor. Unfortunately this model is not listed in the Display Settings. I have attempted the generic 1440 x 900 LCD monitor listed. This does not provide the required resolution. I have edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf and added my monitor, resolution, refresh rate, and screen size. The problem is that even when I have added this to xorg.conf the new resolution does not show in Display Settings and I cannot change my display to the new resolution. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you -- Linux... When you're ready.

creating script for init.d
by Linux Man 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hello. I'm moving from a very old Fedora Core 1 to CentOS 4.4, what a change!! Three year ago, I wrote some script (network related) and worked very well. Now, I can put into init.d by means of chkconfig and I restarted the system, but always hang when executing my srcipt (in my new centos 4.4). There a manual for making scripts for init.d? there is some new requirement by which it does not work anymore? Thanks a lots!!!!

USB Mem Stick
by Robert Spangler 28 Dec '06

28 Dec '06

Hi all, Is there any good how-to's for getting a usb memory stick to auto mount when it is connected to the usb port? Or is this to happen automatically? I got a 2G memory stick for Christmas so that I can transfer files from machine to machine (home/work) but it doesn't look like it mounts automatically like the cdrom does. Thnx for your input. -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value!
