disabling console blanking ?
by Martin Hamant 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hi! Some of my centos's servers (poweredge 850/ centos 4.3) are crashing for any reason, and so i wanna get screen (kernel) output afterward. Problem is when the server is crashed and the screen blanked, a keypress doesn't do anything at all. Here it is what i've tried _from a ssh session_ : - setterm -blank 0 and many combinations. - "noacpi" boot option ... Any ideas ? Thanks ! -- Martin

problem with rebootning on recen centos kernels
by Daniel Staněk 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

hi friends, maybe you could help me with following problem: We have one SuperMicro dual xenon machine running Centos 4.3 ia32 version and we have problem with reboting this machine remotely (command reboot from ssh connection). After upgrade to kernel versions 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp and 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp the machine hangs right after the: md: md0 switched to read-only mode. message and does not reboot. Other systems says at this moment something like "Rebooting ..." and do reboot. With kernel version 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp and older everything is ok, so that there must be some change in 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp and later. I have tried to boot with reboot=bios, reboot=force, reboot=triple, acpi=off - unfortunately with no success. Does anybody seen od solved this issue? Dan

Can ONLY log in as root-console perms problem
by fredex 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I did yum update the other day and it downloaded and installed a bunch of stuff, including a kernel. Didn't have time to reboot until today. today when I reboot, I get a message something like this during boot (from memory since it doesn't seem to be saved in dmesg anywhere): CRITICAL unknown class console at line 23 in /etc/security/console.perms and when the system finishes booting, only root can log in. X won't start, keeps erroring out because, well, I can't be sure. whenever I try to log in as myself it thinks for a few seconds then I get a blue screen saying there already seems to be a ":0" running, would I like to start ":1". If I say yes it tries to start another one and fails the same way. here's an excerpt from /etc/security/console: <mainboard>=/dev/apm_bios <pmu>=/dev/pmu <bluetooth>=/dev/rfcomm* <raw1394>=/dev/raw1394 # permission definitions <console> 0660 <floppy> 0660 root.floppy <===== line 23 <console> 0600 <sound> 0600 root <console> 0600 <cdrom> 0660 root.disk <console> 0600 <pilot> 0660 root.uucp <console> 0600 <jaz> 0660 root.disk I cannot log in on a text console either, only root can. When I try it instantly returns to the login prompt. Sometimes I'll see a short message flash for a hundredth of a second that looks like it might be the same one approximated above. I saw a series of messages from someone else saying he had to back out to the previous kernel, apparently because of a NVIDIA driver issue, so I tried that and it made no difference. He also suggested adding "pci=noacpi pci=biosirq" to the grub boot command, but the thing wouldn't even boot when I tried that. so, this must be some other problem. This is centos-4 32-bit xi6 on an Athlon XP 2600+, Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 motherboard that has been running either Tao or Centos for 2 1/2 years. Advice would be appreciated!

Dear all, I have upgraded the kernel and it took my 3w-9550sx-8LP sata raid card out of the box. It also fixed the problem of getting obsolete channel (my posting last week). Thanks for all your help and your support. Thanks Rajeev

smbmount
by Al Sparks 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Is there a method or way that will allow one to automagically mount samba shares requiring a password w/o using a plain text password? Even if I have to store the plaintext password in a file, is there at least a way to keep plain text passwords going over the network (IPSec perhaps)? === Al

New to samba, didn't know that. I'll rtfm from here.

Any one have a good example...
by Scott Silva 29 Aug '06

...of a shell script for rsync that won't start again if it is already running? I thought of using a lock file, but what if it is killed mid script or bombs? -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!

centosplus kernel packages and compiler versions
by Bart Schaefer 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I just installed the updated kernel packages for centos 4.4 from the centosplus repository. When I run vmware-config.pl to rebuild the vmware modules, it warns me that the kernel was compiled with gcc 3.4.6, whereas my compiler is gcc 3.4.5, and recommends that I not rebuild the modules unless I have exactly the same compiler version. I ignored this and built the modules anyway and they work fine, but why are the plus kernels not built with the stock centos4 compiler suite?
