How to prevent loading qla2300.o module
by Alfred von Campe 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

I apologize in advance as this is not really at CentOS specific issue, but I don't know where else to turn. We are configuring some Dell 1850s for a customer, and they have all been configured with a QLogic dual channel HBA. But no storage has been (or will be in the near future) attached to these HBAs. During the boot process (both for the kickstart and after the OS has been installed), there is a 2 minute delay (1 minute for each channel) while the qla2300.o module is loaded and the HBA probes for any attached storage. How can I configure the kernel to ignore the QLogic HBA? It's not that critical for the kickstart process (although that would be nice too). Thanks, Alfred

Compileing lirc on centos 4.1
by Jerry Geis 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

I am trying to compile lirc.0.7.1 from www.lirc.org and it is indiacting that kernel source is not installed. I then installed kernel source and ran the ./configure again. Same message about kernel not being installed. ANyone compiled lirc.0.7.1 on centos 4.1? OR want to try downloading it (very small) and try running ./configure. Just select save default config and run configure on the first menu. default should be a serial control setup. THanks, Jerry

BTW, you can run Fedora Directory Server on Windows 2000 itself! You don't have to run Linux, although you could start by using Windows 2000, then synchronizing to Linux later.

aacraid strangeness
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

I've just had an strange thing with Adapted 2200 RAID controller (with optional battery module installed). Basically, new card, worked perfectly for weeks, several reboots and stuff. Then all the sudden, when I rebooted machine this today, system would simply freeze during boot. BIOS showed the card initialized properly, kernel module was loaded (from initrd) and it found all of the arrays, and then the system would freeze at "initializing hardware: storage" step. Booting in rescue mode would freeze just after kernel was loaded. Opened box, unplugged the card, booted without it, system works. Plugged it back in, and now everything works perfectly again!? Most likely it's not "baddly plugged card". I've visually checked for that, the card was plugged seated properly in PCI slot. Both the motherboard and card are just weeks old, so I would rule out oxydation on the connectors. Anyhow, BIOS initialization was fine, and BIOS utilities worked perfectly. Device driver behaving strangly? Anybody else saw the same problem, or even better yet, knows of an solution ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

pptpd install
by Kevin Anderson 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

I'm using Centos4.1 kernel 2.6.9-11.106 and I'm trying to install a pptpd, but have run into a snag. the following is where I'm stuck. [root@centosserver noarch]# rpm --install kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.5-2dkms.noarch.rpm Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/kernel_ppp_mppe/0.0.5/source -> /usr/src/kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.5 DKMS: add Completed. Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed. So I then Try to install kernel-sourcecode from yum which will then download but say bad key, or it will hang. I tested yum on other packages and it works fine. I also downloaded from rpm.pbone.net and got: rpm -ivh kernel-sourcecode-2.6.9-11.EL.noarch.rpm error: kernel-sourcecode-2.6.9-11.EL.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 443e1821 error: kernel-sourcecode-2.6.9-11.EL.noarch.rpm cannot be installed. Anyone know away around this, I'm also willing to recompile the kernel but I'm not sure if that will help. I have been following the following link for instructions on installing mppe http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-fedora-core-3.phtml Thanks, Kevin

MPPE required, but kernel has no support.
by James B. Byrne 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

Ok, on to new swamps. I would like to enable PPTP on CentOS4 to accept connections from clients running MicroSoft Win2K and XP pro from outside our firewall. I am testing pptpd-1.2.3-0 and tells me that I need kernel support for MPPE, which I suppose is MicroSoft's own form of PtoP encryption. Is there a way of doing this without rebuilding the kernel? If so, how? Regards, Jim -- *** e-mail is NOT a secure channel *** James B.

Firefox, Flash and Java on CentOS 4.1 x86-64
by Karl S. Katzke 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

First of all, I just want to say *again* how happy I am with CentOS. Across our boxes and our clients boxes, we're running it on more than 20 machines at the moment and it's by far the most painless OS to administer in detail that I've ever used. (Of course, I'm an old Slak hat, but ...) Thanks so much to the community and the maintainers. We've recently run into a problem with a dual-opteron system that is running LTSP and serving up X and Firefox to a whole bunch of diskless clients. We're using the x86-64 build of CentOS, with the appropriate Firefox package. The client users have all been asking for Flash, since many websites are unusable without Flash these days ... but there's no 64-bit build of the Flash plugin. (Thanks, Macromedia! You suck!) What's the best way to provide Flash (and maybe Java?) with Firefox on this server box? How big will the performance hit be from running non-64 bit packages? Any specific tips & hints? Thanks! -Karl Katzke

host controller halted... scarry error
by Ulrik S. Kofod 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

Yesterday i was copying a few dump files (backups) about 1GB in size from my centOS 3.4, on a samba share, to my windows, when the centOS box stopped responding. The HDD LED was on and after I connected a monitor all I could see was this error message over and over again: "usb-uhci.c: host controller halted, trying to restart" I wasn't able to login or anything, so I saw no other solution than pressing the reset button. When it rebooted it forced a hdd check, but was unable to mount /dev/hde2 (that useually mounts on /var !) and pretty much nothing works without /var. The error message mount gave was something like "Unable to mount /dev/hde2: invalid argument". The files I was copying are located on /dev/md0 (raid 0 over 4 disks) and that still worked fine, / is mounted on /dev/hde1 and that also worked as expected. I removed /var from /etc/fstab and restored a backup of /var to the dir /var and then I could boot normally again. Trying to save what was on /dev/hdde2 I ran a e2fsck -p /dev/hde2 and that corrected a ton of errors (deleted a lot of data), I then mounted /dev/hde2 to another folder and restored my backups so I only lost a few hours of data. After I added /var to /etc/fstab again everything worked as normal again. My question is happened!? and what can I do to avoid this again? If /dev/hde2 had been a RAID 1 would it then have rebuild? Should I move /var to a RAID 1? I have copied large files like this before without problems, was it just bad luck or should I expect it to do this again? /dev/hde is attached to a cheap ide ultra ata 133 pci controller card (Silicon Image) that has worked flawlessly for about a year. Can that be broken? Right now it seems OK again. I have a replacement for it but I would rather not replace it if it isnt necessary. Any suggestions are appreciated. Best regards Ulrik PS. Try backups! You wont regret it :) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by OpenProtect(http://www.openprotect.com), and is believed to be clean.
