Dependency failures when updating
by Tom Elsesser 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

I am trying to update a centos box with an unsupported kernel (for XFS support): [root@snowybunting /]# uname -a Linux snowybunting.homelinux.net 2.6.9-34.106.unsupportedsmp #1 SMP Sat Mar 18 16:22:41 CST 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux To update I did: yum update python-sqlite yum clean all yum update yum yum clean all yum update ..and I get the following > 91 packages excluded due to repository protection <bunch of stuff deleted> > --> Running transaction check > --> Processing Dependency: kernel-ib for package: libibverbs > --> Processing Dependency: kernel-ib for package: libsdp > --> Processing Dependency: kernel-ib for package: dapl > --> Processing Dependency: kernel-ib for package: libmthca > --> Processing Dependency: kernel-ib for package: librdmacm > --> Finished Dependency Resolution > Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-ib is needed by package libibverbs > Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-ib is needed by package libsdp > Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-ib is needed by package dapl > Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-ib is needed by package libmthca > Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-ib is needed by package librdmacm I unprotected the repositories in /etc/yum.repo.d, then reran: yum update ...and I get the same missing dependencies errors. I don't know if I have too many things going on at once with the unsupported kernel and updating the whole base, but as of now I'm kind of stuck. Any thoughts? -- Tom Elsesser

kernel 2.6.9-42 is faster
by Jerry Geis 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Gents, Under 4.3 and the associated kernel it took 17 seconds to recompile my entire application on my amd 4800+ X2. Down from 1 minute and 20 seconds on my old platform. I just tried under the new 2.6.9-42 kernel and it is 15 seconds. So that modification to the kernel for disk improvement seemed to help my compile time... Just sharing... Great work on 4.4. Jerry

4.3 to 4.4 and Yum and Upgrade vs. Update
by John Hinton 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

I'm wondering about yum update vs. yum upgrade. The man page says use upgrade (actually the obsoletes flag which is set in upgrade and not update) when doing something like a linux 8.0 to linux 9 upgrade. Something we can't do with CentOS, i.e. 3 to 4. So, is it better to use update or upgrade when going from 4.3 to 4.4? Doesn't RedHat call these "Quarterly Updates" and not "Quarterly Upgrades"? And, it seems that the folks having trouble were doing yum upgrade. I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing the same difficulties when doing yum update? And --obsoletes.... seems like the man page for yum really doesn't say much about what this actually does.. but it sounds like something I don't want to use... sounds like it leaves obsoletes laying around? from man page "upgrade Is the same as the update command with the --obsoletes flag set." "If the --obsoletes flag is present yum will include package obsoletes in its calculations - this makes it better for distro-version changes, for example: upgrading from somelinux 8.0 to somelinux 9." " yum list obsoletes [regexp1] [...] List the packages installed on the system that are obsoleted by packages in any yum repository listed in the config file." Could this be what's causing the conflicts with sqlite? And if update vs. upgrade doesn't make any difference (from my first question).. Has a 'clear' direction for painless updating emerged? Best, John Hinton

Driver for Symbios 8100S PCI SCSI?
by Bart Schaefer 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

I'm trying to install CentOS 3 on an OmniBook 800. (Am I insane?) The bootdisk.img gets things started just fine, but the closest driver on the drvblock.img disk is for the Symbios 53C896, and the Omnibook has a 53C810. Manually choosing the Symbios driver seems to discover scd0, but it's not able to load CentOS from the CD. (I've tried both the boot.iso from the os/i386/images directory, and Disk 1 from the regular set of install ISOs.) Any suggestions? Am I just out of luck? (The last Linux installed on this thing was RedHat 5.2, but that was overwritten with Windows 98 long ago.)

mount problem on LVM2 w/ kernel-2.6.9-42.0.2
by Heitor A.M. Cardozo 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Recently I update a server running CentOS 4.3 to kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2. After the update it had a problem to mount LVM partitions, showing the follow error during boot: No volume groups found Activating logical volumes Unable to find volume group "lvm1" ERROR: /bin/lvm exited abnormally! (pid 199) Creating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none Switching to new root switchroot: mount failed: 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Root partition is a LVM2 on Software RAID. With old kernel (2.6.9-34.0.2) the system boot normally. Any idea what is error? Best regards Heitor Augusto

Right...(rolls up sleeves and takes a deep breath) I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay [the] mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah." Couldn't help it... alex

Postfix and PostgreSQL
by Matthew O'Connor 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Hello all, I require Postfix to have PostgreSQL support. Unfortunatly the RPM (nor the SRPM or it's SPEC file) that ships with CentOS doesn't include this. The SRPM (and it's associated SPEC file) that are made by Simon Mudd ( http://postfix.wl0.org/en/ ) do have PostgreSQL support, so I have downloaded that, tweaked the SPEC file and rebuilt an RPM that has PostgreSQL support. However, I would like to get the RPM that ships with CentOS to include this also, I know I have to contact the upstream vendors Postfix rpm maintainer, but I don't know who that is. Does anyone know who I should contact? Thanks, Matt

latest kernel
by Micha Silver 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Today I updated several servers running CentOS 4.3, and got the new 2.6.9-42 kernel. One of the machines serves as our firewall. After rebooting I lost all forwarding thru the machine. I reverted back to the 2.6.9-34 kernel and connectivity returned. During the few minutes that the new kernel was running I checked that the routing table looked OK, and with tcpdump I saw that indeed no traffic was going thru from the externel interface to any of the internal interfaces. Has anyone seen similar behavior??
