swap_free messages in log
by Jerry Geis 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

This morning I noticed the following message in my log file. swap_free: bad swap file entry 10000000 swap_free: bad swap file entry 20000000 swap_free: bad swap file entry 10000000 swap_free: bad swap file entry 20000000 a few more times... After rebooting I no longer see it. I have an intel 865 motherboard, 2.4 celeron, 2 - 300GIG seagate sata drives as software RAID-1. I have had to reboot the machine sometimes but there were never any messages on the console or the log files. Before my 300GIG drives I used to run 2-120GIG drives and had the same problem. An occasional reboot fixed it. I got new drives and I still have some issue? Any thoughts on something to try? Thanks. Jerry

Groups and rpms
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

yum grouplist is almost ok for learning what groups are available.Though it does not distinguish between base/manditory and added in the installed list. But yum list is not really helpful. I would like to see something of what rpms are within what group. then what rpms are not in any group. And which groups and stand-a-lone rpms are base. maybe it can be teased out of comp.xml...

X broken after up2date
by Geert Batsleer 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

Hello, I've installed Centos 4.2 X86_64 on a PE2800 box with a Radeon 700 card and a generic Dell monitor. After running up2date before putting this box in production and make a reboot I can't get into X anymore, my monitor shows a message "out of sync" and that's it. So I tried logging in via ssh to run 'setup' and to use the X setup program, but it doesn't want to start. So I changed /etc/inittab to 3 insead of 5 and rebooted again. Now running setup from the box itself still doesn't seem to work quite well. I only get the message probing and that's about it. The videcard or monitor are still working flawlessy because using a live CD with X isn't a problem. Any ideas what went wrong? Because I'm thinking of reinstalling but don't want to run into this same problem again.. kind regards, Geert

Whereis system-config-kickstart
by Robert Moskowitz 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/… To use Kickstart Configurator, you must be running the X Window System. To start Kickstart Configurator, select Applications (the main menu on the panel) => System Tools => Kickstart, or type the command /usr/sbin/system-config-kickstart. Can't find it. Now my system has: %packages @ gnome-desktop @ base-x @ kde-desktop Amongst others. So where is it hiding? Also when you get to: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/… How do you specify the geometry of the drive that will be used? I will be using a Toshiba MK4018GAS (http://www.netcomdirect.com/tomk40at429n.html) I will want to include a Hibernate partition....

CentOS 4.x - Kickstart
by Tom Brown 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Anyone point me in the direction of a good howto on kickstarting an 1850 or 2850 with the latest 4.x release - I presume one does not use a ks floppy anymore as the kernel would be too big ? thanks
