Attention on U4: authd+cron=kernel panic
by Matus Hrusovsky 20 Jan '05

20 Jan '05

Those who havent try centos 3.4 on production servers should really read this before: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=143866 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126679 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=141996 Beware of using laus/auditd with programs running from cron. For example runnig fetchmail from crontab can cause kernel panic, any user who can use cron is able to initiate system crash. Problem is in auditd which was added in U4 and is turned ON default, turn it OFF after install and you will get runnig systems. I havent try it with new kernel. Good luck.

I'm gonna kill YUM (mailing list version ;-) )

20 Jan '05

Hi all. Most of you already know about my problems (well, my computer's problems ;-) ), since we've been discussing on the forum. Hughesjr recommended me to post here, so let's see, I have my faith on you. I have a dedicated server with RH9 that I upgraded to CentOS 3.4 . Everything ok, but after the first yum upgrade and reboot I get this when I try to do a yum update: yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-Null - Addons Server: CentOS-Null - Base Server: CentOS-Null - Extras Server: CentOS-Null - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies ....Dependencies resolved I will do the following: [update: redhat-config-keyboard 1.1.4-1.noarch] [update: XFree86-xfs 4.3.0-78.EL.i386] [update: modutils 2.4.25-14.EL.i386] I will install/upgrade these to satisfy the dependencies: [deps: util-linux 2.11y-31.2.i386] [deps: libacl 2.2.3-1.i386] [deps: initscripts 7.31.18.EL-1.centos.0.i386] [deps: libtermcap 2.0.8-35.i386] [deps: libgcc 3.2.3-49.i386] [deps: cracklib 2.7-22.i386] [deps: termcap 11.0.1-17.1.noarch] [deps: gpm 1.19.3-27.2.i386] [deps: mingetty 1.06-1.i386] [deps: procps 2.0.17-13.i386] [deps: XFree86-libs-data 4.3.0-78.EL.i386] [deps: sed 4.0.7-3.i386] [deps: iproute 2.4.7-11.30E.1.i386] [deps: e2fsprogs 1.32-15.1.i386] [deps: grep 2.5.1-24.1.i386] [deps: words 2-21.noarch] [deps: sysklogd 1.4.1-12.3.i386] [deps: ethtool 1.8-3.3.i386] [deps: glib2 2.2.3-2.0.i386] [deps: chkconfig 1.3.11-0.3.i386] [deps: psmisc 21.3-1.RHEL.0.i386] [deps: findutils 1:4.1.7-9.i386] [deps: pam 0.75-62.i386] [deps: SysVinit 2.85-4.2.i386] [deps: rhpl 0.110.6-1.centos.0.i386] [deps: popt 1.8.2-10.i386] [deps: iputils 20020927-11.30.1.i386] [deps: net-tools 1.60-20E.1.i386] [deps: db4 4.1.25-8.i386] [deps: dev 3.3.12.3-1.centos.0.i386] [deps: zlib 1.1.4-8.1.i386] [deps: coreutils 4.5.3-26.i386] [deps: pyxf86config 0.3.5-1.i386] [deps: mktemp 1.5-18.i386] [deps: fontconfig 2.2.1-13.i386] [deps: shadow-utils 2:4.0.3-22.02.i386] [deps: setup 2.5.27-1.noarch] [deps: XFree86-Mesa-libGL 4.3.0-78.EL.i386] [deps: info 4.5-3.i386] [deps: ncurses 5.3-9.3.i386] [deps: glib 1:1.2.10-11.1.i386] [deps: libattr 2.2.0-1.i386] [deps: XFree86-libs 4.3.0-78.EL.i386] [deps: pcre 3.9-10.1.i386] [deps: cracklib-dicts 2.7-22.i386] [deps: expat 1.95.5-6.i386] [deps: bash 2.05b-29.0.3.centos.0.i386] [deps: XFree86-font-utils 4.3.0-78.EL.i386] [deps: freetype 2.1.4-4.0.i386] [deps: ttmkfdir 3.0.9-6.i386] Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 025e513b Error: Could not find the GPG Key necessary to validate pkg /var/cache/yum/addons/packages/util-linux-2.11y-31.2.i386.rpm Error: You may want to run yum clean or remove the file: /var/cache/yum/addons/packages/util-linux-2.11y-31.2.i386.rpm Error: You may also check that you have the correct GPG keys installed Do you notice the CentOS-Null ???

Hi all, I am having problems to get the SeaLevel IO card to work with CentOS distro. Basically the card is being recognised and shown by lspci BUT /proc/devices file is not updated with the new devices does anyone know why. ? Could someone tell me what/where infos are needed to get /proc/devices to be updated. The reason I require the /proc/devices infos is because I want to run a mknod command with those infos. This is rather urgent so any help will be much appreciated. ========= [root@machine]# ./seaio-load Warning: kernel-module version mismatch /opt/relay/lib/modules/seaio.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.21-20.EL.c0smp while this kernel is version 2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp Warning: /opt/relay/lib/modules/seaio.o symbol for parameter break_on_load not found Warning: loading /opt/pmx-relay/lib/modules/seaio.o will taint the kernel: no license See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted modules Warning: loading /opt/relay/lib/modules/seaio.o will taint the kernel: forced load Module seaio loaded, with warnings mknod: wrong number of arguments Try `mknod --help' for more information. mknod: wrong number of arguments Try `mknod --help' for more information. mknod: wrong number of arguments Try `mknod --help' for more information. mknod: wrong number of arguments Try `mknod --help' for more information. chgrp: failed to get attributes of `/dev/dio[0-3]': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `/dev/dio[0-3]': No such file or directory lsmod output ========== Module Size Used by Tainted: PF seaio 8784 0 (unused) Kernel version :- ============ Linux pdc-svr3 2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Dec 2 23:06:40 GMT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux lspci output ========== 03:06.0 Class ff00: Sealevel Systems Inc: Unknown device 8012 (rev 01) /etc/sysconfig/hwconf output ======================= class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: unknown desc: "Sealevel Systems Inc|unknown device 135e:8012" vendorId: 135e deviceId: 8012 subVendorId: 135e subDeviceId: 8012 pciType: 1 pcibus: 3 pcidev: 6 pcifn: 0 -- Regards JC
