CentOS 4.3 Screen Timeout
by Charles Sliger 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Is there a config file that controls the screen blanking behavior? After a short time period the screen goes blank and you must reenter your password to get the desktop back. I would like to at least extend the timeout for this blackout/lockout behavior for my own convenience. Charles L.

transfer data from one hard drive to another
by Joseph Cheng 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Hello I have an OS installation and data on a 40 gb drive that I would like to image to a 80 gb drive. I don't care if the resulting partition layout on the new drive is only 40 gb making me lose space. I just want to move everything from the older drive because I think it's failing. I have looked at partimage and mondo rescue as imaging solutions but both deal with partitions. CAn someone plz point me to a howto that shows how to image the entire drive incuding mbr, partiton table and data all with one program? I am hoping to boot with a CD to do this while having both drives plugged in. So I think something like knoppix? TIA!

Server hangs initializing audio
by Bowie Bailey 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

I have a server that frequently hangs while rebooting. I see no errors, but during the boot process it stops at this stage: Initializing hardware... storage network audio The cursor sits just after the word "audio" and I have to do a hard reset to get out of it. This server has no audio capabilities, so I am thinking that I just need to disable the audio stuff so it doesn't even try to load it, but I don't know where to look. -- Bowie

I saw that kudzu detects new hardware, but I wasn't sure if it was also doing the initialization. -- Bowie

What motherboard is it? Maybe you > need to install an audio card. :) The motherboard is a Tyan Thunder K8HM. It's a dual-Opteron server board. Just what I want to do... add an audio card to a rack-mounted server! :) -- Bowie

The system boots fine most of the time. I only see this happen occasionally. Where do I disable the hardware initialization? I took a quick look at the init files and didn't see anything obvious in there. Is it kudzu that is doing it?

There is no on-board audio. This machine has NO audio hardware at all.

Kernel source package missing?
by first last 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Hi everyone, I've been looking for the package kernel-source-2.6.9-34 (from 4.3) and I can't find it anywhere. In fact, the only mention to it I have found is on the RedHat errata (I also have the RHEL CDs and it is not there either). Where can I get it from? I wanna compile some packages and I need the kernel source. Thanks Gabriel ___________________________________________________________ All New Yahoo! Mail Tired of Vi@gr@! come-ons?
