I/O resource -- not free --- IRDA problems?
by Robert Moskowitz 18 Oct '06

18 Oct '06

I get a message while booting of: ide2: I/O resource 0x3EE-0x3EE not free. ide2: ports already in use, skipping probe Googling for this, I find it is relatively common, and on different laptops. I thought it might be my internal SD reader causing the problems, but these other notebooks do not have such devices. Then I found: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pb22/I8600/ and: " IrDA - works except on COM3 / ttyS2 It appears that *ttyS2* (the FC2 default) does not work as the IrDA - on boot it reports `*ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 0) is a 16550A*' and `*ide2: I/O resource 0x3EE-0x3EE not free.*', `*ide2: ports already in use, skipping probe*'. As such, during *POST* press *F2* and *Alt-P* 3 times and set the IrDA to *COM2* or *COM4* (which select *IRQ 3* with *I/O 0x2f8* or *0x2e8* on *ttyS1* or *ttyS3* - ra3 is the latter). Edit */etc/pcmcia/config.opts* to `*exclude irq 3*' (so that the IRQ is free) and */etc/sysconfig/irda* to set `*DEVICE=/dev/ttyS3*' (or *1*), and run `*chkconfig irda on*' so that it starts on reboot (or `*/etc/rc.d/init.d/irda start*' or `*irattach /dev/ttyS3 -s*'). It should load *ircomm_sir*, *sir_dev*, *irnet*, *ppp_generic*, *slhc*, *ircomm_tty*, *ircomm*, *irda*, *irtty_sir* and *crc_ccitt*, and */var/log/messages* should have" Now I have already put ttyS2 on irq3 (from dmseg): ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A How do I test the IRDA?

Whereis Pessulus?
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 18 Oct '06

18 Oct '06

Hi all, I'm mounting a LTSP server whith CentOS 4.4. The default desktop will be Gnome. I'm looking for lockdown tool and I think Pessulus maybe a good option, but I don't found it with yum. ¿Is Pessulus included in CentOS? ¿Another lockdown tools as alternatives? Thanks in advance. -- Jordi Espasa Clofent PGP id 0xC5ABA76A #http://pgp.mit.edu/ FSF Associate Member id 4281 #http://www.fsf.org/

CentOS 2.1 on i586
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 18 Oct '06

18 Oct '06

I've just attempted to reinstall my ancient laptop that has Pentium MMX processor. Since it is ancient, I've decided to go with CentOS 2.1. Got stuck, installer claims I need at least i686. Hmmm... I know that 3.8 and 4.4 work without a glitch on i586, so this came as surprise. I even thing original RHEL2.1 might had support for i586 too (but I might be wrong). Anyhow, what happened with i586 in CentOS 2.1?

make 3.79.1 assertion failed error
by Dag Wieers 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hi, Sorry for cross-posting but I need to tap into my most helpful mailinglists for this problem. I have had assertion failed errors from make before and never understood what they were or where they came from. But now that I have them consistently for ffmpeg and mplayer on everything smaller than FC2, which prevents me from updating both mplayer and ffmpeg (and I know lots of other applications have the same issue). The exact error is: make: expand.c:489: allocated_variable_append: Assertion `current_variable_set_list->next != 0' failed. By coincidence (called Google) I found this page: http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/faq.html#faq.make_dies and it made the relation with make 3.79.1 pretty clear. (fc1, el3, rh9, rh7 and el2 all use make 3.79.1) I was wondering if anyone knows of a better solution than explained in the valgrind FAQ, or better than upgrading make. Once upon a time mplayer built without this assertion, other applications as well. So is this caused by a more recent configure/autotools used by the developers ? Some way to prevent this ? Anyone ? :) Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

yum repository and createrepo
by Ken Leyba 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

I've setup a local yum repository for about 25 workstations and I'm using rsync from a local mirror. Do I need to create my own XML headers, i.e. the 'repodata' directory, or since I'm syncing the whole updates directory can I use the 'repodata' directory from the mirror? I also have a question on using createrepo. The directory layout is: ~/updates/ ~/updates/headers/ ~/updates/repodata/ ~/updates/RPMS/ If I do the following in the 'updates' directory: # createrepo -v ./RPMS The 'repodata' diretcory is created under the 'RPMS' directory and not the current 'updates' directory. How can I have the 'repodata' directory created/updated in the correct directory under 'updates'? Right now I'm manually moving the directory. I would probably need to do this in my daily cron job.

Here is where things currently stand. I have taken the two arrays and swapped them between the two systems. The Seagates are still slower. However, since the OS is installed on these arrays, I don't know if this is due to the drives or some OS setting. I have also taken one spare drive of each type and tested each one as a single-drive unit in both systems. These tests all give similar numbers and show that the Seagate drives are marginally faster than the Maxtors. -- Bowie
