Re: Compiling kernel 2.6.12.2 with gcc-3.4.3-22.1
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 06 Jul '05

From: Jose Alburquerque <jaalburquerque(a)cox.net> > Sorry, I'm not very experienced and didn't know exactly where to turn > to compile a new kernel. Well hold on. ;-> If there is one area where Fedora Core (FC) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) _really_ differ, it's the kernel. So you _might_ run into issues with rebuilding that on RHEL/CentOS 4, especially since Fedora Development is currently targeting FC 5 -- 2 revisions (~12 months) ahead of where RHEL/CentOS 4 is at. That's why I was wondering if there is a "Development" kernel more for RHEL/CentOS than Fedora Development. I have used the Fedora Development kernels on RHEL/CentOS in the past, but typically only on desktops or systems under test. > Thanks for the link! I'd much rather have an rpm than compiling > directly from source! Well, it's really more than just that. It's all the patches and other fixes Red Hat adds. As much as Red Hat is trying to use the vanilla kernel in Fedora Core as of kernel 2.6, there are still a number of patches, tweaks, etc... that still go in. If I need to modify anything, unpackage the RPMBUILD/SPEC environment, create a formal patch and "rpmbuild -bb kernel-2.6.spec" directly. But I typically and rarely have to do that, and it's a matter of "rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686|x86_64 kernel-2.6*.src.rpm" directly. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Compiling kernel 2.6.12.2 with gcc-3.4.3-22.1
by Jose Alburquerque 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

Hi. I just have a quick question that maybe some of you might know. I'm thinking of compiling a new kernel (kernel 2.6.12.2) for my system which is running CentOS 4 (updated to 4.1 using yum). I downloaded the kernel tarball and read in the docs that for stability gcc 2.95.x (x>=3) might be best to compile the new kernel. With an "rpm -q gcc" command I see that I have gcc-3.4.3-22.1 installed on my box. Can anyone tell me if the kernel I'm trying to compile will compile fine using the version I have installed? Should I "downgrade" my gcc to 2.95 to compile this kernel? The reason I'm trying to compile an new kernel is that my system uses a LSI Logic/Symbios Logic 53c875 SCSI controller (information obtained from "System Tools/Hardware Browser" menu in GNOME) and I keep getting a bunch of errors like the following in my system logs: sym0:0:0:phase change 6-7 11@12856b84 resid=2. I read somewhere that by compiling a new kernel (2.6.11, I think), this problem might go away and I wanted my system to run as efficiently so decided to compile a new kernel. Am I doing the right thing? Thanks! Sincerely Jose

Opteron Mobo Suggestions
by Kirk Bocek 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

I've been planning to build a dual Opteron server for awhile. I'd like to get people's suggestions on a suitable motherboard. I've looked at the Tyan K8SE (S2892) and K8SRE (S2891) but would like to find more Linux-specific experiences with these boards. Some features I expect are at least 4 SATA (SATA-300?) ports, serial console support in the BIOS, USB 2.0 and IEEE-1394 ports, low-end on-board video. Anyone care to share their experiences?

Correlation with LNAELV ....
by William A. Mahaffey III 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

.... I am new to this list (got referred here from the fedora list, COLD ....) and have a few questions. I poked around CentOS.org & couldn't figure these out, so here goes: 1. What is the correspondence, if any, betwixt RHEL, err, I mean LNAELV version #'s and CentOS version #'s ? 2. Does CentOS plan to branch permanently away from LNAELV distribution, or periodically re-sync ? 3. How long have you been around, I have been looking for something like this for years now :-) ? -- William A.

root@localhost email problem
by Melinda Odom 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

I have another problem with the email root@localhost not working now on centos 3.5 with plesk. This has always worked in the past. Anytime I test my ecommerce store the default email address has been root@localhost and has sent an email to my domain email address when testing. Just recently this has stopped working. The ecommerce store is php. I contacted the ecommerce store developer and root@localhost works for him and he is hosting at Pair Networks. This is a reply from plesk about cgi recently on my cgi forms that were working, stopped working, and somehow started working again without anyone finding the problem: >>>>>>>>>>>>> "Actually root@localhost shouldn't work at all. The point is that qmail unlike sendmail is unable to pass messages via the system mail delivery into the /var/spool/mail/username file. It works only via SMTP. Please use an actual mail address in your cgi scripts." >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Since the ecommerce store is php and root@localhost has been working for months is there someplace I can look to try to find the problem?

Re: Hot swap CPU

From: Peter Arremann <loony(a)loonybin.org> > *rofl* either you forgot how damned slow a E4500 is or you never > worked with them... There is _nothing_ fast about them (see, I > learned how to use the underscore from you, aren't you happy?)... Dude, compared to modern UltraSPARC III/IV, _yes_ they _are_ slow. But there are a lot of UltraSPARC II options that are still quite viable solutions. > Oh - misquote to omit my acknowledgment of the inadequacy of my > comparison. What was the reason for you leaving off where I said > "compilers aren't a good benchmark"? :-) Are you that desperate to > win an agrument that you have to misquote me to infer that I'm > saying something else? Dude, this is _not_ about "winning an argument." It's about reminding you that "build times" are _not_ a good indictator of _server_ benchmark (please note that I said _server_). I mean, if you want to see one benchmark that Intel has _always_ lost to AMD -- and handily -- build times are it. ;-> > That's why I made the comment that you so nicely cut out :-) > Performance tuning of provisioning apps is another thing I do :-) Working > for a fortune 5 and dealing with the biggest systems that company has can > be fun... Dude, stop with the resume. The problem with pulling credentials is that someone else _always_ has more. Now stop while you _think_ you are "ahead." ;-> > 4TB databases, used by Java and C++ programs, 48way 96GB > ram... that a better example or still too small for you to accept that > I might not just do little things? Once again, I will re-iterate, there are _other_ performance considerations than computational. And even then, "build" times are _not_ very representative of performance in even some computational > An Athlon64 3200+/4GB running on a 3ware controller with mirrored > disks beats an 8way E4500/4GB running a 400GB oracle database... > give the sun box 8GB and the performance is roughly equal... Depends on if you are computationally limited, and also what is your I/O -- let alone the number of sessions you are serving. In raw, unthreaded, linear aspects -- hell yes, the E4500 is a _dog_. > Yes, and one of the limitations on the E4500 is throughput... > A 3510 on a v490 does 61MB/sec - same lun, just connected into the > SUNW,socal of a E4500 IO board does about 20MB/sec... It all depends on how distributed your environment works, as well as the application. I'm not saying an old UltraSPARC II platform is always going to be faster. But man, you are like a single track that thinks there are _no_ other considerations. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org
