Thanks. I have already bypassed the problem on this install, but hopefully this will make things go smoother on the next one. Bowie

I originally installed from the source rpms on your website... You told me that these should update properly from the CentOS distribution using 'yum update', so I tried it.

In any case, this question is moot now as I have rebuilt from the official packages. I am still having some problems getting things operational, but I will post another question on that later if I can't figure it out. Bowie

How to select a motherboard
by Todd Cary 16 Dec '05

16 Dec '05

Not being familiar with chip sets and other factors that "hardware experts" understand, I am perplexed with the multitude of available motherboards. Is there a Web site that can be of help or a "strategy"? My goal is to replace my motherboard with one that is Centos compatible and uses a Pentium 4 in the 2 MHz range. As example, when I go to Mwave, I am presented with this list, but I really do not know what I should be looking for in the specs. http://www.mwave.com/mwave/ViewProducts.hmx?PID=MOTHERBOARDBUNDLES-ASUS&upd… Any suggestions will be appreciated....

I did that and immediately ran into problems. # depmod -a # modprobe dm-mod # modprobe gfs FATAL: Module gfs not found. # modprobe lock_dlm FATAL: Module lock_dlm not found.

What is the best way to recover from this? Should I remove them all and start over, or is there a better way? Bowie

That all depends... What are you looking FOR? Why are you replacing the motherboard? Are you also replacing the CPU? Memory? Do you need IDE? SATA? RAID? Do you have a video card, sound card, and NIC or do you want them built-in? Do you want PCI-e? Do you need USB? Firewire? CentOS should be compatible with most motherboards out there. You may have to find drivers for an oddball video or sound chipset. On-board raid you are probably better off ignoring and using software raid instead. I usually look for boards from Asus or Abit. Intel boards are good as well, but usually don't have as many features and don't perform as well on the benchmarks. You may want to check out Newegg.com. They've got good prices and selection and quite a few customer reviews on the popular products. Bowie

csgfs repo problem
by Bowie Bailey 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

I just took a brand new CentOS 4.2 x86_64 install, updated all of the base packages with yum, and then added the csgfs repo and attempted to install those packages. When I do the installation, I have a problem with one package: # yum install perl-Net-Telnet [ snip ] ============================================================================ = Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================ = Installing: perl-Net-Telnet noarch 3.03-3 csgfs 51 k [ snip ] Package perl-Net-Telnet-3.03-3.noarch.rpm is not signed I know I can set gpgcheck=0 in the repo definition, but shouldn't this be fixed in the repo? Is there another way to specifically allow this one package to install without turning off gpg checks for the entire repo? Bowie

Modules installed in the wrong directory
by Bowie Bailey 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

I did a yum install of modules from the CentOS-csgfs repository (GFS-kernel, cman-kernel, etc). Modprobe does not find the modules. Upon investigation, I found that modprobe is looking in: /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp/ while the package files were installed to: /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.1.EL/ Can I tell modprobe to use those modules somehow? Are modules for the smp kernel available? Or do I need to get the source rpms and recompile for the smp kernel myself? Bowie

Also, my "photo > clients" view my "digital proof sheets"...very light weight stuff. Ok, so nothing fancy. Just a basic board with video, sound, and NIC onboard. > I need to replace my current board since it has "fake RAID" > (Abit BE7-RAID) and Centos will not install. The disks are > IDE. Once it is up, I just let it run and run...nothing special. Most motherboards have "fake RAID" built-in. Have you tried going into the bios and setting those channels to standard IDE? If you bypass the raid, CentOS should be able to recognise the disks and install. If you still want raid, do it via software. Bowie
