Alpha Server 1000A 5/400 Centos 4.3 instal can not find the hard drives.
by Stewart Walker 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

During the install of alpha Centos 4.3 I'm told by the Centos installer that the hard drives can not be found. Hard Drives have been properly configured in the ARC setup. ARC initialization of the drives works fine. I can create windows nt partitions Went thru the list of drivers provided by Centos but the installer has already loaded the the QLogic and Mylex DAC960 controller drivers. I opened the box and found the controller is really a Mylex controller card . I'm a little confused about the QLogic as it is integrated on the mother board. Something is missing. What? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since you don't mention which controller yours has it's only possible to offer suggestions. One possibility is that there simply isn't a linux driver for it, in which case it isn't going to matter which distro you try to install on it. It's just not going to work. Another option that you may have is that some of the RAID controllers that Dell used (the PERC/3's come to mind) had the ability to emulate a plain SCSI controller. This was generally togglable in the BIOS. If yours has this option it's possible that it will emulate something that there is a driver for. I have actually run into this before with the PE2450s. In SCSI mode the controller appeared as an adaptec 78xx which had a driver, in RAID mode it was something completely different (what exactly it was escapes me at the moment). -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel

artsd eating CPU cycles when idle
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

I've noticed that artsd sometimes eats as much as 20% of CPU when idle. This is on my old laptop (where playing MP3s eats up to 50-60% of CPU). On newer faster processors this would probably go unnoticed (if it eats 20% on Pentium MMX, on Pentium 4 it might be around 1-2% or even lower). Just wondering if anybody else noticed this behaviour?

Drives Not Recognized on Dell Poweredge 1550 CentOs4 install
by Phillip Crump 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

I have a new (used)Dell Poweredge 1550 server with 2 scsi drives (dual 1ghz w/ 2048MB) that I'm attempting to install CentOs 4 onto and am having problems getting the darn thing to recognize the hard drives. (it's worth noting that it's running RAID 0 and the RAID bios recognizes both drives as being in "optimal" state). I start the installation process and all is going well until it autoprobes. All other hardware is found except for the hard drives. The install subsequently fails because there the drives can't be found. I have been googling my brain out over the last week and this seems to be an issue with installing linux on this particular server model. (surrounding the megaraid driver and have tried many of the things out there to no avail. To see what I have been trying checkout this mailing list entry: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-August/010021.html Any advice that anyone can give is appreciated! PJ

Hi, I was wanting to run the equivalent of "hdparm -Tt /dev/hda" except on a SATA hard disk. What is the equivalent command for an SATA drive? I was wanting to see what kind of speed I am getting on the SATA drive. thanks, Jerry

Log report is reporting a lot of these lately.. following is just a short snippet from the beginning on one server. WARNING!!!! Possible Attack: Attempt from 104.29.broadband2.iol.cz [83.208.29.104] with: command=HELO/EHLO, count=3 : 1 Time(s) Attempt from 106.7.broadband7.iol.cz [88.102.7.106] with: command=HELO/EHLO, count=3 : 1 Time(s) Attempt from 106.74.broadband5.iol.cz [88.100.74.106] with: command=HELO/EHLO, count=3 : 1 Time(s) Attempt from 126.239.broadband7.iol.cz [88.102.239.126] with: command=HELO/EHLO, count=3 : 1 Time(s) Attempt from 144.Red-80-34-151.staticIP.rima-tde.net [80.34.151.144] with: command=HELO/EHLO, count=3 : 1 Time(s) Could anyone expand on what these folks are actually doing?

php-mcrypt extension
by Shaun T. Erickson 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

I see that there are a plethora of php extensions available as rpms, from the centos repositories, but not the php-mcrypt extension. I'm trying to stick to an rpm-only system and haven't found one that provides this, yet, for my 4.4 system. Is there any plan to add this to the repository in the near future (if at all)? Does anyone know where I can get it, otherwise? I see there is one for FC4. Perhaps I can do a --rebuild on it? -- -ste
