segmentation fault
by Cameron Showalter 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

greetings, running Centos 4.1 i386 on a poweredge 1800, will be trying x86_64 tomorrow since apparently the processors are EM64. anyhow, I'm having issues with this unit producing segmentation faults on practically everything. this is not an issue just with Centos 4.x, but also RHEL 3. so I resorted to RH9, but had other issues with hardware drivers. Today, I installed OS and everything went smoothly, to a point. this server will ultimately be used for a point of sale application called counterpoint. What I did was install the app (worked great), installed an sql interface to the db (worked great). added some data to the db and posted sales. This is where I have the continual problems with linux. as soon it starts the posting, in another windows I did a ps -ef and got Segmentation fault, dmesg produces the same error. top still works, but thats about it. now, from experience, I know that if I reboot the system - I'll get many errors and segmenation faults and then when the login comes back up where the name of the server is will be () login: I'm guessing there is going to be no way around reinstalling this box, but I trying to remain hopeful that there is a better solution. thanks. cameron

If all you needed to do was build kernel module(s), installing the appropriate kernel-devel package (kernel-devel, kernel-smp-devel, etc.) would be alot less work than building from the SRPM.

Re: [CentOS] intel dual core processors and new kernel packages
by C.M. Connelly 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

I can tell you that the Pentium D CPUs work fine with CentOS 3 and kernel 2.4.21-32.0.1.ELsmp. Presumably the newer kernels incorporate more support for these CPUs, possibly activating additional features not supported by earlier kernels. But they work fine with the older kernels. Bug 147823, <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=147823>, seems to describe the problem -- basically, there are/were issues with hyperthreading and dual-core processors where the machine would run slowly when hyperthreading was on. With hyperthreading off, the machine acted like it had two ``real'' processors and worked fine. There's supposed to be a fix in RHEL3 U6 (and presumably there's a similar bug for RHEL4 and an update for RHEL4 U2).

lsof with offset
by Jerry Geis 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

I did something simple; on one window did more/etc/mail/sendmail.cf on another window did lsof -o -b -p XXX -w where XXX is the process number. The SIZE column does not change to OFFSET! the size reflects the size of sendmail.cf - I was hoping the "-o" would change the SIZE column to OFFSET column and show at what offset the program has read into the file? AM I doing something wrong? I am trying to find a way to tell how far a given program has read in a file. THanks so much. Jerry

OpenIPMI on a SunFire v20z
by Tom Lanyon 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

Hi all, New to the list and (mostly) new to CentOS. We have just moved from running RHEL to CentOS on our main production servers. Anyway, I am configuring a couple of new SunFire v20z servers here at the moment and trying to get the systems' management interfaces to work fully under CentOS. First issue was trying to install the openipmi RPM from the CD that came with the SunFires, this RPM installs the source for the openipmi kernel drivers and then builds them as kernel modules. First I had to get the kernel source installed (i used the kernel SRPM to install, then did an rpmbuild to create the patched source directory), however I'm now receiving a whole bunch of errors whilst trying to compile the IPMI driver 'ipmi_devintf_src.c' file because of what looks to be incompatibilities with the kernel. My presumption is that this openipmi driver is intented for 2.4.x kernels. So I moved on and discovered that openipmi is built into the 2.6.9-11.EL kernel which is installed by default. I tried inserting these modules: ipmi_devintf ipmi_msghandler ipmi_si ipmi_watchdog Which produced the following syslog output: Oct 5 00:02:00 langoria kernel: ipmi message handler version v33 Oct 5 00:02:00 langoria kernel: ipmi device interface version v33 Oct 5 00:02:03 langoria kernel: IPMI System Interface driver version v33, KCS version v33, SMIC version v33, BT version v33 Oct 5 00:02:03 langoria kernel: ipmi_si: Found SMBIOS-specified state machine at I/O address 0xca2 Oct 5 00:02:03 langoria kernel: IPMI kcs interface initialized Oct 5 00:02:07 langoria kernel: IPMI Watchdog: driver version v33 I thought, "Wonderful! It's working!", and was happy to see that the ipmi device existed: crw-r--r-- 1 root root 254, 0 Oct 4 23:27 /dev/ipmi0 (However, it seems like its always been there - not sure why. Doesn't CentOS use udev?) I installed the userland ipmitool software and all was peachy. ...But my excitement and fun was ruined when I actually tried to use the tool: [root@langoria ~]# ipmitool sel Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0: No such file or directory Get SEL Info command failed Seems like the OpenIPMI drivers aren't binding to the device? Basically, I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience running openipmi on CentOS 4.1 running the default 2.6.9-11.EL kernel and can offer any assistance to me?
