I have setup Centos-3.1 on a Dell Optiplex GX1 this week. It has to replace an old Compaq Deskpro I used as a firewall/router running the no longer supported RedHat 7.1. I have the NAT firewall up and running, and it works OK.
However, there is one thing bugging me. I cannot use any client software that queries a nameserver. I tried to use "dig", "host" and "nslookup", and they all segfault on me. As all these applications suffer from the same problem, I think it has to be a general problem. Name resolution itself works correct, and other than this I cannot find any real indications of problems.
On the console I get this message: "request_module[net-pf-10]: fork failed errno 1"
Is this with the standard CentOS kernel ???
Because it looks suspicously like the symptom of a non-nptl kernel being used ...
No, it is not. It's a 2.4.26... Sorry I forgot to mention that.
Well it wont work then.
CentOS - like rhel - uses nptl based glibc, so the kernel needs to also support it.
A Fedora kernel with nptl might be made to work - alternatively 2.6 is the way to go.
Is there any particular reason not to use the stock kernel ???
