Odd installation hang.
by Lamar Owen 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

For the archives: I had an odd installation hang on an older Athlon MB; KT133 I believe. SuSE 10.0 and Fedora Core 5 installers ran fine; CentOS 4.2 and 4.3 hung with the last line on the screen referencing running /sbin/loader (or is that /sbin/installer....don't typically see it enough to remember); the cursor froze at that point. SuSE 10.0 successfully installed on this box. After trying all the normal tricks, like turning ACPI off, using the BIOS IRQ table, etc, I noticed that the FC5 installer mentioned something about disabling IRQ6. IRQ6?!? That's the floppy controller; but there's no floppy drive configured or cabled. Hmmm.... no place in the BIOS to disable the floppy controller ?!? Ok, let's tell it it has a 3.5 1.44MB floppy (even though it doesn't!), and not to stop on floppy errors. Lo and behold, that fixed the hang. Something in the CentOS 4 installer that runs right after /sbin/loader was hanging, unless it had a floppy out there, even when there was no floppy out there. But, and I repeat, SuSE 10.0 installed flawlessly, and the FC5 installer came up fine. But the CentOS 4 installer did not until I told the BIOS to lie about having a floppy. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu

Shells
by Scott Silva 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

This is giving me some grief, and I couldn't get anything decent from Google. What shell is the best to allow things like vacation to work, but not allow logins. It seems that /bin/false used to work in RedHat 9, but not in Centos 4. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!

Sun quad fast ethernet: Failed to allocate mem resource
by Louis Lagendijk 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Hello all, I have this nice Sun quad fast ethernet card that I would like to use in my Centos server. I have used it in the past on my old server without problems. When I insert it in my new server (Epox 8k3a AMD mobo, XP1800 processor) I get the following messages in dmesg: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:00.1[B] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5 sunhme.c:v2.02 24/Aug/2003 David S. Miller (davem(a)redhat.com) divert: allocating divert_blk for eth0 eth0-3: Quattro HME (PCI/CheerIO) 10/100baseT Ethernet DEC 21153 PCI Bridge eth0: Quattro HME slot 0 (PCI/CheerIO) 10/100baseT Ethernet 08:00:20:b4:2f:6c ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:01.1[B] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:1000000@e3000000 for 0000:02:01.1 divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1 eth1: Quattro HME slot 1 (PCI/CheerIO) 10/100baseT Ethernet 08:00:20:06:ad:d7 ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:02.1[B] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:1000000@e3000000 for 0000:02:02.1 divert: allocating divert_blk for eth2 eth2: Quattro HME slot 2 (PCI/CheerIO) 10/100baseT Ethernet 08:00:20:a7:0e:32 ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:03.1[B] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:1000000@e3000000 for 0000:02:03.1 divert: allocating divert_blk for eth3 eth3: Quattro HME slot 3 (PCI/CheerIO) 10/100baseT Ethernet 08:00:20:43:80:28 the MAC address for eth0 is correct, the other mac-adressess appear to be random. I have been googling around, but have not been able to find a solution. Does anybody hee have an idea what the problem migt be, or how to tackle the problem? for the record: I am running the 2.6.9-34.EL kernel, but had the problem with older kernels as well. As the card worked under Centos 4 on my Asus K7M mobo, it looks as a mobo or bios problem, but I am not sure. Any help is very much appreciated. kind regards, Louis -- Louis Lagendijk <louis(a)lagendijk.xs4all.nl>

Sendmail vulnerability
by Peter Farrow 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Dear All, I noticed that sendmail rpms were updated by yum a day or so ago, however, how can I check if the versions installed are patched for the recently exposed exploit.... I guess that since I am running sendmail-8.13.1-3 (which appears to be the latest according to yum) and the articles describe 8.13.6 as having the fix that I may be vulnerable.... P.

I continued with the installation and after i choose the packages i need, i got an exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1176 in intf.run (id, dispatch, configFileData) File "/local/builder/tmp/anaconda-10.1.1.25 //usr /lib/anaconda/text.py", line 510, in run Then the installation aborts. I don't know if one thing is related to the other. WHAT CAN I DO TO SOLVE THE EXCEPTION?? Thanks again.. --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
