Re: [CentOS] mach64 driver, latest update in CentOS 6.8, symbol lookup error - workaround
This is a known issue:
I would recommend filing a bug with Red Hat to have them fix it.
I am going to see if I can find someone in the organization with a Red Hat account to open the bug. In the meantime, I came up with a workaround. I wanted to see if I could role the updates back to CentOS 6.7 since the system was 6.7 until I applied the updates. The alternative is to load the system from scratch, so what is there to loose. The result seems to be working so I will document what I did.
# First I rebooted and specified to use the original kernel
# Then mount the place where I unloaded the original DVD ISOs mount -t nfs phxbkup2:/iso/centos6.7x64 /media/CentOS
# Tried to sync from this location, but it did not work, yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 distribution-synchronization # There were a number of conflicts that prevented the yum to run.
# The troublesome packages did not look like they would prevent booting, so I got rid of them yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 erase python-libipa_hbac-1.13.3-22.el6_8.4.x86_64 mesa-libxatracker-11.0.7-4.el6.x86_64 xorg-x11-drivers-7.3-13.4.el6.x86_64 mesa-libxatracker-11.0.7-4.el6.x86_64 yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 erase xcb-util xcb-util-renderutil
# Tried the distro sync again and it went through. yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 distribution-synchronization
# Tried to put back the problem packages, especially since one contained the driver I needed. The drivers went in. # The xcb-util xcb-util-renderutil got reinstalled as part of the distro sync yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 install xorg-x11-drivers
# The other packages were not part of the media, so they got left out. yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=c6-media --releasever=6.7 install python-libipa_hbac mesa-libxatracker mesa-libxatracker
# Finally, I disabled the CentOS-Base repos and enabled the CentOS-Vault 6.7 repos (Same3 as from the Base) and ran "yum update" to get to the latest set from 6.7. The xorg and x11dirvers were not updated. Rebooted and I have a desktop.
This is not the first time distribution-synchronization has pulled my butt out of the fire.
Thank you for the suggestions which eventually helped me narrow down the problem.
Another option is pick the recent source package and run it with "mock" - The sanbox equiment is "the current release" and binaries in the new rpm shoud be "fixed".
This can be be done every where virtual...
Sincerely
Andy
