CentOS Network Exception
by Yasunari Tosa 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

Hi, The following exception occurred. The system was upgraded from RedHat 9 Legacy (updated regularly using Fedora Legacy project) to CentOS 4.1 (Linux 2.6.9-11). When I installed yum and yum-conf, I had a problem of yum not getting $releasever. Thus I hand edited /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo $releasever to 4. I did the full update using yum. Now up2date gets the following exception. I don't understand why it is looking for CNS-CA-CERT. Exception type exceptions.ValueError Exception Handler Information Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet.py", line 586, in refresh self.model.refresh(force) File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_model.py", line 447, in refresh source.refresh(force) File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_source.py", line 35, in refresh self._do_refresh() File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_rpc.py", line 190, in _do_refresh server = self.create_server() File "/usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/rhn_applet_rpc.py", line 83, in create_server s.add_trusted_cert(self.__cert__) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rhn/rpclib.py", line 440, in add_trusted_cert self._transport.add_trusted_cert(certfile) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rhn/transports.py", line 253, in add_trusted_cert raise ValueError, "Certificate file %s is not accessible" % certfile ValueError: Certificate file /usr/share/rhn/CNS-CA-CERT is not accessible

Possible to install centos keeping folders intact?
by Ian mu 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

Hiya all, just going to do a couple of quick conversions from redhat to centos, an going to back up the folders anyway. But basically just wondering if there's a way to install centos and keep some rather large folders intact without having to backup/restore them. They are based from the root folder, i.e /home but they aren't on a separate partition and want to do a total new install from cd on it. No problem if there is no way, just thought I'd ask to see if anyones ever gone down that route if it is (and yes bad partitioning in the first place! Partly for exactly this reason and others). Thanks in advance, Ian

Re: yum issues

I found the best way to get yum working was to manually upgrade yum along with its dependencies and then do a yum upgrade to upgrade to CentOS 4.2. With the high traffic, it still bombs a few times. But it doesn't take as long. The new Yum 2.4 is way faster than Yum in CentOS 4.1. Paul

yum issues

Is this because the mirrors are busy? I did update to CentOS 4.2 yesterday but now...

4.2 upgrade and kernels
by Collins Richey 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

Just curious about kernel requirements after the upgrade. I've been running the 2.6.9-11.106.unsupported kernel for some time. Now I see that the base kernel is up to 2.6.9-22.EL. Are there any plans to upgrade the unsupported kernel? Should I be using the newer kernel after the upgrade? Does it make any difference? Not trying to be pushy; just looking for information. Thanks for all the good work, and tons of it. -- Collins Richey Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code ...

What would be the minimum requirements for a mirror for the CentOS distributions? I've got some resources that I might be able to utilize to help out. Can someone respond to me offline where we can discuss? Sam -- Snowman

Wherefore SELinux?
by Benjamin Smith 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

I've tried to wrap my head around SELinux several times, and so far, all I've managed to do is rap my head, and then somewhat painfully. Is there a detailed "SELinux Unleashed" style book anybody can recommend? Anybody read Oreilly's book care to comment?

What's the easiest way to disable a kernel module during kickstart? Is there a syslinux command that could be passed in to prevent a module from loading? TIA!
