2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp & megaraid2 problem
by Toni 31 Dec '04

31 Dec '04

I've found a problem with CentOS 3 latest kernel (2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp) and megaraid2 driver. Hardware: Dell PE1600SC with CERC ATA100 RAID controller The problem is somewhat similar, but not identical as: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123289 After updating new glibc and kernel packages the new kernel don't boot. Boot fails to mount root fs with "Cannot open root device" message. I doublechecked that /etc/modules.conf is refering to megaraid2 as it should and then recreated initrd manually, no help. Older kernel version (2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp) boots just fine. As RHEL3 U4 release notes states: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/release-notes/a… The megaraid2 driver has been updated from v2.10.6 to 2.10.8.2-RH1 The new driver is scsi/megaraid2.o The older driver has been preserved as addon/megaraid_2106/megaraid_2106.o So I decided to try megaraid_2106, changed modules.conf, recreated initrd and... server booted with the new kernel! Could there be a problem with the latest megaraid2 driver (2.10.8.2-RH1)? Since I'm using CentOS and not RHEL, how/where I could report this problem? Best regards, ++Toni

CUPS/NFS
by Joshua Strzalko 31 Dec '04

31 Dec '04

Is there anyway to remove CUPS and NFS on the system, I'd like to stop these services, close the ports, and uninstall the software as I don't use NFS for anything on my system, and for sure don't use printing on the server.

Problems migrating from WBEL
by Jason Dixon 30 Dec '04

30 Dec '04

Hi folks: I've recently migrated one of my production servers (bad Jason!) from WBEL to CentOS 3.3 using Donavan's instructions in the FAQ (http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19). While it was as painless as the document suggests, I've run into problems with postgrey (a postfix greylisting daemon) on my server. Whenever I try to start postgrey, I get the following error (trimmed from maillog): ERROR: can't create DB environment: No such file or directory A little research led me to find the error was caused by a call to BerkeleyDB::Env->new() in postgrey. I can recreate it in a simple Perl one-liner: perl -e 'use BerkeleyDB; my $db = BerkeleyDB::Env->new() or die "blah";' This leads me to believe that something is wrong with db4, so I upgraded (--force) to the CentOS db4 package. Unfortunately, this had no effect. Speaking with Dag in IRC a couple nights back, he believes my only recourse may be to "pin" my apt sources and attempt to upgrade all of my WBEL-based packages to their CentOS counterparts. I would really like to avoid this; if necessary, I think I'd prefer to try and upgrade from the 3.3 ISO. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this? Thanks, -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net

I hate to disappoint anyone following this thread, but I think I'm going to drop the issue for now and re-migrate back to CentOS. I've found a working replacement for Postgrey in using sqlgrey (http://sqlgrey.sourceforge.net/) that appears to be working quite well (doesn't use db4). I'll continue to follow the issue with earnest, hopefully someone else will be able to offer some final insight. Perhaps I'll take the cause back up on a test system. -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net

process crashing issue
by William Warren 29 Dec '04

29 Dec '04

I have an hlds server on a CentOS 3.3 box with all the latest updates. it is a p-4 1.4 ghz with 384 megs of pc-800 and no less than 250 megs free at all times. Hlds has been crashing on me since the latest updates. I am thinking it is hlds acting a fool but i wanted to post here as well just to make sure. Here is the error. ./hlds_run: line 423: 5450 Segmentation fault $HL_CMD Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1". Core was generated by `./hlds_i686 -game cstrike +ip 192.168.0.201 +port 27015 +maxplayers 11 -autoupd'. Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. #0 0xb74a0161 in ??

End of crash report Is this anything related to CentOS at all or is this purely an application error?

mirrors for CentOS-4.0 Beta?
by Ryan Lane 29 Dec '04

29 Dec '04

Quick question. Does anybody know of any mirrors for CentOS-4.0 Beta? I would like to give it a spin, but before I download the iso's from c4beta.caosity.org, I thought I'd check. Thanks, Ryan

Best RH/FC version for dvd rip?
by Michael 29 Dec '04

29 Dec '04

Greetings: I'd like to bring up a CentOS-3.3 system to use for multi-media purposes. One of the packages I'm installing is dvdrip and all it's dependant packages (libdv, libdvdcss, libdvdread, avifile, & transcode). I'm hunting down the packages on freshrpms.net and I notice that there are packages available for FC1, FC2 & FC3. Question: Which FC version should I use for CentOS-3.3? Thanks, Michael

kernel panic on upgrade
by Brett Moss 29 Dec '04

29 Dec '04

Hello, I'm having some troubles with upgrades. I've followed the instructions from Owl River on moving from Redhat 8 to Redhat 9 and then to Centos. http://www.owlriver.com/projects/yum/rhl8-to-rhl9/ http://www.owlriver.com/tips/centos-31-ex-rhl-9/ The 8 to 9 works well on all machines, and the 9 to Centos went well for a laptop. The 9 to Centos fails with a kernel panic on two machines. This is right after the first part of the upgrade, upgrading rpm, kernel and kernel-smp. EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock mount: error 22 mounting ext3 I believe these are the lines from the machine(s). Both troubled servers are dual pentium II 450's with adaptec 19160 scsi cards, running a software raid 1 and booting from sda1 _not_ the mirror with grub. I have been able to boot back into the Redhat 9 kernel with no troubles. These are production boxes, so I'm a bit hesitant to do anything drastic, hence the email to the list. I'd sure appreciate any direction you all might be able to give. Thank you, Brett __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
