Lock-up on Thinkpad on AC power restore
by Steve Snyder 15 May '05

15 May '05

Using the current kernel, 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL, my Thinkpad 600E locks up hard when transitioning from battery to AC power. When this happens my only recourse is to power-cycle the machine. There is no indication in the system log of this event when the machine comes back up. Today I caught the event in the act. While the machine was booting, the AC power failed (bad storm here). The machine continued the boot process on battery power for several seconds. Then the AC power was restored and the machine locked up in mid-action. The apmd driver had not yet loaded yet so it can't be blamed for the lock-up. Previous to installing CentOS4 I had RHL v9 on this machine. In that environment the cycling of power from AC to battery back to AC caused only a few notes in the system log. Can anyone shed some light on how I can avoid the machine locking up on AC power restoration? Thanks.

Centos 4 / Postfix / SMTP
by Nigel Kendrick 15 May '05

15 May '05

I've just installed Centos 4 on an Acer G310 server - everything's gone well except I'm not able to SMTP connect to my upstream mail server (I've installed postfix + MailScanner) - I managed to find sort out the dovecot side of things but SMTP remains quite silent - the maillog shows an attempted connect but then a timeout: May 9 13:08:45 woking postfix/smtp[7895]: deliver_request_final: send: "connect to mailhost.zen.co.uk[212.23.3.98]: Connection timed out" -1 If I connect manually (telnet mailhost.zen.co.uk 25) nothing happens - no response is shown and I presume if I left things for long enough I'd see a timeout message? Here's the output from netstat -pant: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:32769 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2048/rpc.statd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2028/portmap tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2242/vsftpd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2181/cupsd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5201/master tcp 0 1 192.168.101.11:32847 212.23.3.98:25 SYN_SENT 7930/telnet tcp 0 0 :::993 :::* LISTEN 3416/dovecot tcp 0 0 :::995 :::* LISTEN 3416/dovecot tcp 0 0 :::110 :::* LISTEN 3416/dovecot tcp 0 0 :::143 :::* LISTEN 3416/dovecot tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 2345/httpd tcp 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 2217/sshd tcp 0 0 :::25 :::* LISTEN 5201/master tcp 0 0 :::443 :::* LISTEN 2345/httpd tcp 0 0 ::ffff:192.168.101.11:22 ::ffff:192.168.101.20:4450 ESTABLISHED 3319/0 tcp 0 192 ::ffff:192.168.101.11:22 ::ffff:192.168.101.20:4758 ESTABLISHED 5724/1 I notice that there's an attempt to make a connection but that's it - any ideas what might be causing this - I'm not running a server-based firewall. Over to you with thanks. Nigel

Time issues
by John Hinton 14 May '05

14 May '05

Here's the bootup log area from a CentOS 4 box, fully updated. Seems to start into the US eastern time zone properly, but then it set's itself back to I think UTC after the filesystem check. May 14 14:49:12 visit1 fsck: /var1: recovering journal May 14 14:49:16 visit1 fsck: /var1: clean, 10074/4227072 files, 798409/8445596 blocks May 14 14:49:16 visit1 rc.sysinit: Checking filesystems succeeded May 14 10:49:16 visit1 rc.sysinit: Mounting local filesystems: succeeded May 14 10:49:17 visit1 rc.sysinit: Enabling local filesystem quotas: succeeded May 14 10:49:17 visit1 rc.sysinit: Enabling swap space: succeeded This is on a Compaq Proliant 1850.. Never seen this before on any previous versions of Redhat? Very odd. Any ideas? It is causing lots of grief, particular with FTP operations. Best, John Hinton

Thanks, I succesfully got it via yum. If I were 20 and still in a learning mood I'd have compiled it all myself :). Thanks a miilion!

Take a look at http://centos.karan.org/ You need to setup both the FExtras and the Misc repo.

Message display
by Robert 14 May '05

Is there a command in CentOS4 or some small program to display a short message everywhere possible on a box much like # shutdown -k now "Display me where I'll be seen", but without the added (normal) stuff? xmessage would probably be usable if it had an -onalldesktops option. BTW, the purpose is to add a visual to the scripts I have in place to remind me to connect my external USB drive late Tuesday, disconnect it early Wednesday (after backup) and keep it out of the reach of "Murphy" for the rest of the week.

The only CentOS ia32e.rpm are the kernel and kernel-unsupported rpms. No one has reported the error on CentOS 3 x86_64.
