The Via C3 is a i686 class processor, it doesn't implement the "optional" cmov instruction. Jeff

4.4 on Dell D620: widescreenresolution?
by Henk van Lingen 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

Hi, Did anyone manage to get 4.4 working on a Dell D620 laptop? The thing has a 1440x900 LCD screen, but I don't get X the work with that resolution. (lspci: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)) Google suggested to use '915resolution', which I installed (915resolution-0.5.2-1.el4.rf), but that doesn't help.

Installing CentOS 2.1 on ICH7R controller
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

I'm trying to install CentOS 2.1 on SATA drive that lives on ICH7R controller. I have the controller setup in BIOS to "compatibility" mode, which means it should look just like regular IDE controller to the OS. In this mode, ide0 and ide1 are PATA controllers, and 4 SATA ports are mapped to ide2 and ide3. If I boot from the 2.1 installation CD, all the drives are detected (CD-ROM as hda, and four SATA drives as hde, hdf, hdg, and hdh, just as expecte per above mappings). It detect IRQ for ide2/3 right away, and says it will probe for IRQ for ide0 later. Well, it hangs just after it probes and detects IRQ for ide0. I've tried all bunch of "standard" kernel options (turnning off DMA, disabling ACPI, and so forth), none of which helped. If I install the OS on some other box (with older SATA controller), update the kernel to 2.4.9-e.70, move the disk to the new box, the kernel boots just fine (however, the initrd image points to the wrong root device -- and I can't really boot into rescue to fix it, since kernel on install CD will hang). Hence I attempted to rebuild 2.1 install CD with 2.4.9-e.70 kernel (which I haven't managed to do yet). I also attempted to use CentOS 3.8 CD in rescue mode. However, regardless of my BIOS settings, it loads ata_piix drivers, and uses the controller in SATA mode, which isn't really what I want (mkinitrd trying to be too smart, but I have couple of tricks to try yet). I'm currently attempting to force it into PATA emulation mode by supplying "ide2=io1,io2,irq and ide3=io1,io2,irq" parameters, and it is going *very* slow and constantly complaining about lost interrupts. Anyhow, if anybody has some advice with getting this 2.1 install going, it would be very appreciated. -- NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby notified that by reading this message you agreed not to disturb frogs during mating season.

I tried install 4.4 on an old Via 800mhz box. i386 of course. The installer dies pretty quick. I thought the via was i386 compatible? Is there something special to do. Jerry

Re-doing the MBR
by Al Sparks 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

I tried to install CentOS 4.4. This was on a machine where I've got Windows XP on the first partition (hda1). CentOS, like most of the distros will automatically install Grub in the MBR unless you tell it not to. In fact it will wipe the MBR first pretty early in the install. Here was my problem. During the install, the second CD had some sort of read issue. So I had to abort the install by intervening with the power switch. So when I rebooted, I couldn't boot into my XP because the MBR had been wiped. I pulled out an Insert distribution and did a RAM only boot up. I could still see my NTFS partition where XP was located, and I could also see where the CentOS installed the /boot partition in /dev/hda2. Now I finally solved this problem by going back and doing a minimal install of CentOS which doesn't require the second CD. I've now got something in the MBR, and I'm up an running. But does anyone have suggestions on how to semi-manually install grub so that it sees what it calls the "other" partition to boot into? Is there a tool out there that will do that? I mean, what if the install had hung up on the first disk instead? === Al

Indeed, Mozilla Corp. may be the best marketing partner that other Linux browser projects have right now! ;-) Perhaps: strace -o epiphany.trace -f epiphany would shed some light on where it is picking up acroread? Perhaps if it can't get its apps the gnome way, it falls back to some other, more conventional unix way? Have you checked /etc/mailcap and ~/.mailcap? -Steve

rebuilding centos 2.1 isos
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Hi, I'm attempting to rebuild CentOS 2.1 ISOs with the latest kernel (to attempt installation on some newer hardware with SATA drives). It seems that the original build environment used different version of anaconda than shipped with CentOS 2.1 (7.2-77_ELAS vs 7.2.32AS). I found SRPM of 7.2.32AS, however I'm wondering if there is binary package also? BTW, any hints on the things that might be problematic with rebuilding the ISOs with newer kernel are more than welcome ;-) Thanks -- NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby notified that by reading this message you agreed not to disturb frogs during mating season.

Install Using Floppy/CD
by Charles Sliger 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Is there a doc that describes how to create a floppy that will boot and then switch over to the installation CD? It looks to me like this should be possible using grub on the floppy. Charles L. Sliger, Information Systems Engineer, chaz(a)bctonline.com "No matter where you go, there you are..."
