autoprobe for nVidia 6200 broken
by Ted Miller 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

I have the same problem on the install disks and on the Live CD: The computer locks as soon as the Xserver starts. I end up with a blank screen (color varies) with a moving mouse cursor. Nothing else. Nothing appears on the screen. Keyboard and mouse are inoperative. Even Alt-SysRq-R doesn't work. Only way out is the reset button (or maybe SSH, but I don't have another machine handy to try that from). I am expecting you to blame in on "upstream", but you can't blame the LiveCD on upstream. With the LiveCD, I can boot OK by using the VESA driver. The root of the problem seems to lie in the open-source "nv" video driver and my card. The proprietary "nvidia" driver works fine (once it is installed). With the install disks, I am stuck with a text install (and thus locked out of some of the LVM options I need). I have not found a way to override the autoprobed video driver except to use "noprobe", and I have no idea what drivers I need to install to do the install correctly. Wish list for fixes: 1. Fix (or update) "nv" driver so it works right with all 6200 cards. 2. Fix the autoprobe so it uses the "vesa" driver for my card (Gigabyte GV-NX62158D<P>). 3. Create option "xdriver=" on install disks, like there is on video disks. 4. Create option "noprobe-video" and let me tell install disk to use VESA driver. If I can supply any more information to help diagnosis of this mis-probe, I will gladly poke my system if you give me detailed instructions as to what commands to execute. Doing it from the LiveCD-4.4 is probably best and most repeatable. Ted Miller Elkhart, IN, USA

HELP: CentOS box won't shutdown
by Clive Gould 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

Hi We have a mission critical Dell rackmount server. I tried to reboot it via an ssh session and it just kept running! The command I used was: [root@vle tmp]# shutdown -r now Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Tue Oct 10 08:28:44 2006): The system is going down for reboot NOW! Looking at /var/log/messages it says: Oct 10 08:28:44 vle shutdown: shutting down for system reboot But the server just keeps on running!!! I have an identical hot backup box and it happily rebooted this morning. Any suggestions most welcome... Thanks Clive

That's what I thought, but then I noticed all these pro-ftpd mods for mod_ldap and whatnot, and became... perplexed. Installed pro-ftpd from yum and wound up not being able to log in without a local account. -- Jay Chandler Network Administrator, Chapman University 714.628.7249 / chandler(a)chapman.edu Ethernet, n.

Since ftp daemons use pam and pam can use ldap if configured via authconfig, I cannot envision a scenario where an ftp daemon would need to contact ldap directly.

Trimming the fat out of a Centos 4.4 Installation
by Erick Perez 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

Hi, just to avoid re-inventing the wheel, is there any document that can help me reduce even further a "minimum" installation of Centos 4.4 (BTW can you say 600mb is minimum)? I am in the process of creating a small Centos-4.4-based Asterisk box and I need to boot it from a CF card. Deleting useless packages will help me do what i want. Example: even a minimum install of Centos 4.4 (or Redhat EL for what is worth) includes CUPS, among other things. Any document hyperlink will be more than welcomed!! The result will be posted to the link for others to use. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Erick Perez Panama Sistemas Integradores de Telefonia IP y Soluciones Para Centros de Datos Panama, Republica de Panama Cel Panama. +(507) 6694-4780 ------------------------------------------------------------

x84_64 distro: Really worth it ?
by Rodrigo Barbosa 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have so far avoided using the x86_64 distro, sticking to 32 bits on all my servers. My question for all using the 64bits distro is: is it really worth it ? What kind of applications are you running, and what kind of _real_ gain did you have ? Note: All my servers are 2GB RAM or less. - -- Rodrigo Barbosa "Quid quid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur" "Be excellent to each other ..." - Bill & Ted (Wyld Stallyns) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFKmtUpdyWzQ5b5ckRAk//AKCTvsGQ4YS+B6G60TaSjAbUOf5vwACeOlnT s6HYeQqrbG5ybbyCcw+iC7M= =67Sx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Any experience with CentOS 4.4 and Intel DQ965GF?
by Juha Aaltonen 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hi! I'm having trouble installing CentOS 4.4 to a system with Intel's DQ965GF motherboard. The installer hangs (even with noprobe option). I'm wondering if someone has succeeded with this type of installation? Is the only choice to install the OS in another, older setup, update it and move the disks to the DQ965GF setup?
