Big thanks for supporting i586 type machines.
by Lamar Owen 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

While I know that, technically, the only i586 machines are the Pentium and Pentium MMX, it is still nice that I can use some headless AMD K6/2 machines I have lying around for CentOS 4. Many thanks for the effort expended to get that working. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu

Linux newbie asks about sonypi on laptop
by Ralph Loizzo 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

Okay. I've been able to set my laptop's screen brighter by working with the program spicctrl and the sonypi device. But everytime I boot, I login under my username then have to do the following every time... First I go into the bash terminal, then su because I can't do this under my login name mknod /dev/sonypi c 10 250 #because sonypi is not listed in /dev - it disappears everytime I shut down then I type chmod o+w sonypi #because I want to be able under my login name, not root, to set the brightness then i exit su and type spicctrl --setbrightness=150 and it works... My questions are: Why do I have to recreate the device every time? Shouldn't it be there every time? Your comments would be greatly appreciated. Ralph Loizzo

Reinstall Windows but preserve CentOS
by Dave Gutteridge 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

I have a computer that dual boots between Windows and CentOS. Each has it's own hard drive. I suddenly have a problem with Windows, and may need to reinstall. I need it for applications like After Effects, Premiere, and other things that I am currently in the middle of a project with. It seems the system has become usnstable, it's preventing me from continuing to work, and I may need to wipe the Windows partition clean and start again. My concern is that if I do that, I will lose the Grub boot loader and not be able to access CentOS again. How can I reinstall Windows with a clean partition, and preserve my dual booting? Dave

filesystem corruption: resize inode not valid
by dan1 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Hello. I am having a problem with one CentOS 4 box I have installed. It worked perfectly for several days, was used as a gateway on my LAN. After having reached the limit of the disk size by copying stuff from a windows box to a samba shared drive on the centOS box, and after making a reboot, the server didn't come up anymore. Looking at it I was thrown to the repair console and when doing an 'e2fsck /dev/md1' there was the following message: "resize inode not valid". >From there on, I can answer to the repair questions, but after finishing the filesystem repair, and redoing a filesystem check (after reboot or not) the same error message comes up. I cannot go out of it and the ext3 filesystem (in software raid 1) seems completely mixed up. Did somebody else have this problem already ? I had a look around the internet and I have seen several people having had this problem these last months. I was using the e2fsck verison 1.35 (current version of CentOS). Thanks for any help one could provide. Daniel
