MD Raid 1 software device not booting not even reaching grub
by Erick Perez 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hi, I have a raid 1 setup where /boot and the rest lies inside the md0 container. /dev/sda1 md0 has /boot /dev/sda2 md0 has swap /dev/sda3 md0 has / SCSI card is an ADAPTEC AIC79xx Grub as the bootloader Centos 4.1 as the OS version Two 70gb SCSI disks The server was working fine. Then a power outage. checked the board,disk,ram,etc. All fine. Now when I try to boot the server does not even reach GRUB (no splash, no menu). I read a post about maybe the MBR got damaged (no fix posted) and another post about missing SCSI drivers not being loaded before kernel boot. Suggestions? -- ------------------------------------------- Erick Perez Linux User 376588 http://counter.li.org/ (Get counted!!!) Panama, Republic of Panama

list of kernel patches --- where?
by Brian T. Brunner 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Traditionally, I've needed to compile my own kernel for my embedded headless systems. Traditionally, I've been on RH7.3; kernel source came with the distro. Now I'm looking at Centos 4.2 as my base, and two question arise 1: Where is the kernel source (I can hunt it down again, just wanting to know if anybody has a link to it they can paste please) 2: What are the patches applied to 2.6.9 to generate 2.6.9-22.EL by the package builder? (note: I probably have to use a 'latest' kernel from kernel.org to get 'the latest' USB kernel stuff. Dropping in just the USB code into the kernel source mentioned above *might* work, and *might* not, this is part of why I'd like to know what the set of patches are.)

RE: [CentOS] Linking against a specific Berkeley DB install
by Bowie Bailey 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

From: Craig White [mailto:craigwhite@azapple.com] > > it's not linking against db4.4 only 4.2 and 4.3 as you can see above. > 4.4 was just released and clearly not tested and definitely not > recommended. You should note that even the latest 4.3 version isn't > recommended for use with openldap but rather 4.2.52+patches. Hmmm... 4.4.16 is the default download link on the website. I assumed that was the latest stable version. I was able to get OpenLDAP to compile against db4.3. Any particular reason it isn't recommended? Bowie

Default CentOS(Redhat) iptables, Secure?
by Mark Sargent 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi All, whilst not being an expert on iptables, the below ouput of iptables -L seems too insecure to me. Does anyone agree.? Perhaps I'm not understanding it as well as I think I am.? Please give your thoughts on this. Cheers. Mark Sargent. [root@localhost racket]# iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp any ACCEPT ipv6-crypt-- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT ipv6-auth-- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT udp -- anywhere 224.0.0.251 udp dpt:5353 ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:ipp ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

Linking against a specific Berkeley DB install
by Bowie Bailey 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I sent this question to the OpenLDAP list yesterday, but I still haven't seen the message come across the list. I am asking here in the hopes of getting a faster response. I am trying to compile OpenLDAP 2.3.11 from source on CentOS4. I have the rpm for db4-4.2.52-7.1 installed and also a source build of BerkeleyDB in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4. How do I get OpenLDAP to link with the bdb 4.4? I have put the library locataion everywhere I can think of: LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib Still, the configure seems to link with the 4.2 rpm build: checking db.h usability... yes checking db.h presence... yes checking for db.h... yes checking for Berkeley DB link (default)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb43)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-43)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-4.3)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-4-3)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb42)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-42)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-4.2)... yes checking for Berkeley DB version match... yes checking for Berkeley DB thread support... yes checking Berkeley DB version for BDB/HDB backends... yes Any suggestions?
