Now to find a current board that is in use with > Centos and some ATA drives. If you are looking for specific recommendations, I have used the Abit IS-10 motherboard in a few RH and CentOS servers. It is an older socket 478 board and doesn't have a lot of temperature and fan speed monitoring, but it does have built-in video, sound, and network as well as support for SATA drives. Bowie

Kernel panic in usbserial.
by J.J.Garcia 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

Hi all, Running a Centos 4.2 default config in a P4 1.7 Mhz 512 MB Usb 1.1 (Acer Aspire 1400 XV Laptop) with a usb2serial interface plugged from the system boot, and using that line as console line for a remote device, i had the following kernel panic after few times performing the "reset" command in the gnome-terminal due font corruption, i had this kernel panic: Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000080 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: printing eip: Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: e0b598da Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: *pde = 00000000 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: Oops: 0000 [#1] Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: Modules linked in: ppdev nfs lockd radeon parport_pc lp parport autofs4 eeprom i2c_sensor i2c_i801 i2c_dev i2c_core sunrpc ds ipt_REJECT ipt_state ip_conntrack iptable_filter ip_tables dm_multipath button battery ac hci_usb bluetooth joydev ftdi_sio usbserial yenta_socket pcmcia_core uhci_hcd shpchp snd_intel8x0m snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_pcm snd_timer snd_page_alloc snd_mpu401_uart snd_rawmidi snd_seq_device snd soundcore e100 mii floppy dm_snapshot dm_zero dm_mirror ext3 jbd dm_mod Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: CPU: 0 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: EIP: 0060:[<e0b598da>] Not tainted VLI Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: EFLAGS: 00210246 (2.6.9-22.0.1.EL) Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: EIP is at ftdi_set_termios+0x1d/0x479 [ftdi_sio] Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: eax: 00000000 ebx: def08500 ecx: c035c940 edx: def08500 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: esi: dfdc2c00 edi: dedd8c00 ebp: dedd8c00 esp: dad56e6c Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: Process cat (pid: 16510, threadinfo=dad56000 task=d9fa2780) Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: Stack: dedd8c00 0000869d 00000000 def08500 dfdc2c00 dedd8c00 00000000 e0b58b24 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: 00000040 00000000 00000000 dad56ea7 00000000 00001388 c018103f dad56f58 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: 00000000 c0178317 c17c6630 dfdccf80 0804c9c0 00000000 00200246 00000101 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: Call Trace: Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: [<e0b58b24>] ftdi_open+0x88/0x20a [ftdi_sio] Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: [<c018103f>] dput+0x33/0x423 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: [<c0178317>] link_path_walk+0x90/0xb9 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: [<e0b172d5>] serial_open+0x95/0xd9 [usbserial] Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: [<c0223c23>] tty_open+0x182/0x3a6 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: [<c01724cc>] chrdev_open+0x325/0x3b9 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: [<c0167287>] dentry_open+0xbd/0x180 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: [<c01671c4>] filp_open+0x36/0x3c Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: [<c030e078>] __cond_resched+0x14/0x3b Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: [<c01e5d8e>] direct_strncpy_from_user+0x3e/0x5d Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: [<c0167688>] sys_open+0x31/0x7d Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: [<c030f8cb>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: Code: e8 2d 7d 5c df 83 c4 14 59 5b 5e 5f 5d c3 55 57 56 89 c6 53 83 ec 0c 8b 00 83 3d 80 f4 b5 e0 00 8b 96 18 01 00 00 8b 28 8b 46 04 <8b> 80 80 00 00 00 89 54 24 04 8b 00 89 04 24 74 17 68 e1 a4 b5 Dec 14 23:58:10 smarteyebox kernel: <0>Fatal exception: panic in 5 seconds Dec 15 00:11:05 smarteyebox syslogd 1.4.1: restart. I'm not sure if it is due to the usb2serial adapter but i think so because no panic in that system before. To reproduce it: a) In a gnome-terminal im executing a bash script like this: FILE=/root/dump rm $FILE stty cs8 ignbrk cread clocal raw 4800 -echo $1 < /dev/ttyUSB0 killall cat cat /dev/ttyUSB0 | tee $FILE & cat > /dev/ttyUSB0 ; kill %% b) The other side is a modem with an available console via serial line where i connect the USB2serial cable c) From the modem power-on i start detecting hard font corruption in gnome-terminal, if i break the link (CTRL+C) and i perform the '$ reset' command, everything comes back ok, but after connecting again using the script im having the same thing if the modem restarts (no matter if there is a modem hard reset or sw reset, i mean, power on all the time in the modem) d) After few 'resets' in gnome console, the kernel panic is happening. Don't know where to send this panic, im sending it to this list, feel free to tell me if i have to inform others or use other reporting tools for kernel panics... help appreciated.

compaq R4000 update (hogging interrupts)
by Jerry Geis 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

After a couple hours last night.... doing a "killall -SIGUSR1 cpuspeed" bumps up the /proc/cpuinfo information for cpu mhz to 2393 Mhz. I did notice a little increase after that. However, the machine is still sluggish. I did a "hdparm -c 1 /dev/hda" but really did not notice any difference. I tried to download fglrx64_6_8_0_8.16.20-1.x86_64.rpm from ati (also 8.20.8) and get the screen to be in 1280x800. This did not work. The screen pops up initially for the boot process but then goes black. I waited quite some time but nothing ever showed on screen. Screen is still 800x600. Anyone have experience with the ati radeon 200M Express setup? Anyway at this time I am disappointed so far. the reason for buying this model (performance and portable) does not seem to be performing very well. I continue to search for ways to setup the screen and find these lost cycles... One thing in dmesg output is : ACPI: PCI interrupt link IRQs 10 11 *0, disabled????? Not sure what this is about. ************ I just noticed something else in dmesg... (entire dmesg posted below) waring: many lost ticks. Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging interutps rip __do_softirq+0x41/0xa2 Any ideas on that?

Strange install problem
by John Newbigin 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

I am having a problem with CentOS-4.1 & CentOS-4.2 network installs. Before I file a bug, I was wondering if someone could test it on RHEL4 and see if it is a CentOS or RHEL bug. The problem is this. I am PXE booting into anaconda and loading a basic kickstart file via http. The kiskstart justs sets up the network & keyboard but does not start any install. I can then configure the install using anaconda. I used this fine with CentOS-3. However, in CentOS-4, if I use the graphical (X11) install, I can only select the minimal group of packages. If I do a text based install, I can select all packages. Normally it is the text mode install which is lacking so I assume this is a bug. More info is available from my original post http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-September/012155.html John. -- John Newbigin Computer Systems Officer Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/staff/jnewbigin

oom-killer.
by J.J.Garcia 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

Hi all, Just watching for my first time the 'oom-killer' call in a CentOS 4.2 workstation. System was running normally but with high load of nice process, iow, rosetta and seti, others appart, nautilus, etc... i realized that after a night of standby running normally, the next moorning after few manual operations from X-session in local console, it started a massive swapping, this time not recovered as previously other time, finishing in a oom-killer call. Finally inspected the syslog and realize the oom-killer was called to leave the system stable having killed firefox-bin, 3 x rosetta, xmms and one nautilus. It's a PIII 800 Mhz, 40GB IDE, 512 Mb RAM, 1024 Swap space, up for 4 days. I'm not very xperienced in tunning the memmory system nor the swap system, help appreciated to avoid this memory 'trashing' situtation (14 virtual desktops openned at the same time). Is it a normal situation? Is it a correct protecction measure? It's due a low bandwitch IDE HD? how can i tune it to avoid this situations? is it a high load for this workstation? I think the oom-killer was called correctly to avoid the system collapsed, but i think there was a problem in the swapping subsystem or a memmory trashing situation to avoid. Help and hints appreciated, Attached you'll the oom-killer log, TIA J.J. -- Linux smarteyebox.stigmatedbrain.net 2.6.9-22.0.1.EL i686 GNU/Linux 11:55:01 up 1 day, 12:06, 9 users, load average: 1.20, 1.30, 1.57 --------------------------------------------------------- "Rome wasn't burned in a day.

Horde framework from CentOS Extras
by Alexander Dalloz 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

Hi! Anyone of you running the Horde framework applications from CentOS Extras RPM install? Since yesterday's security update I can no longer safe the application's configuration from withing the browser administration. For each required setting with a dropdown menu the dialog claims that I missed to make a selection, while of course I did. Just to note: yes, the filesystem permissions for the config directories are temporary changed to allow the apache user to write the config.php files. SELinux is in permissive mode. Nothing logged in ssl_error_log. Can anyone confirm this? I do not see a report in the Horde mailing list.

Seeing this strange error message when I start up the networking on my new firewall.

Kernel Panic - Not synching Machine Check
by Vikas 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

This server was running fedora core 2 till 12/2/2005. It had an impressive uptime of 180 days or so. On friday I upgraded to CentOS 4.2. After upgrading to CentOS 4.2 this server has been throwing kernel panics every 10 hours or so. These are some of the error messages I am getting on the console: "CPU 0:Machine check exception :4 Bank 0 : f672100000000833 TSC 112180365ccf ADDR e2c7f7c0 Kernel Panic - Not synching Machine Check" This is a production server. I would appreciate any help. S
