Hi,
I have an Asus terminator C3 with 512Mb. It has a Via P3-800Mhz CPU, with a VIA chipset. It's currently running FC6. I wanted to wipe the machine and install CentOS5.
It boots from the CD to the linux prompt, then it fully loads vmlinux, then starts initrd.img, and somewhere at that point it reboots.
I have tried: noapic, noapm, noprobe. Same, somewhere during initrd.img or at then end of it [it's half way through the dots on the second line] it reboots.
What I don't understand is it works with FC6!
Any suggestion?
Dear friends:
Using Centos 5.
I am trying to install the VmWare Server in my Centos 5 in order to install Windows XP. I am asked for the location of the C header files directory:
"What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]"
I would very much appreciate your help. Please be precise.
Thank you.
Benjamin

A) first install them...
# yum install kernel-devel
B) list where they landed...
# rpm -ql kernel-devel | grep /include/ | more
note they are NOT in /usr/src/linux/include, rather, they are in some path like /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.EL-i686/include ... and in fact, there IS no /usr/src/linux ... so, you might just want to do something like...
# ln -s /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.EL-i686 /usr/src/linux
so that you can use the assumed default path. Note, with c5, this path is undoubtably different.

Dear John:
Thank you so much for your kind help. I successfully installed perl-devel from yum but looks like I am stuck. Would appreciate your help.
Thanks again.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

The path "/usr/local/include" is an existing directory, but it does not contain a "linux" subdirectory as expected.

[sher@localhost ~]$ rpm -ql kernel-devel | grep /include/ | more [sher@localhost ~]$
um, did you
# yum install kernel-devel
? try
# rpm -ql kernel-devel
without the grep or more.
its possible in CentOS5 the package name has changed, I haven't installed it yet anywhere.
Dear John:
My mistake. I installed perl-devel instead of kernel-devel. I will install kernel-devel as soon as I finished updating my applications in YumExtender.
Thank you.

Dear John:
Here is the output of your command. I installed kernel-devel. I tried once again to install VMWare but I need to know the location of the "include" subdirectory.
By the way, is Centos's Xen virtualization better, worse or just different from VMWare? Which would you recommend?
Thank you again.

Once kernel-devel is installed, the vmware install should pick up the correct directory automatically. At least it does here.

a) Install kernel-devel
b) DO NOT hijack mailing list threads.

There is no i586 kernel yet for CentOS 5 - if your CPU doesn't support the cmov instruction, you're a bit out of luck there at the moment.

as Ralph has already pointed out - there is no i586 support at this time, but we are working on it and hope to have some form of an alternatives CD installer available soon ( maybe a couple of weeks )

I want to point out that there is NO upstream support for Via C3 for EL3, EL4, or EL5.
We have worked it into EL3 and EL4 .. and in progress for working it into EL5.

I thought the ViaC3 is a P3 instruction set.
BTW, how do you select the ViaC3 in EL4?

Anywhere you would specify "linux" on the cd boot you substitute "i586"
Example "linux text" would become "i586 text" and I believe "i586" by itself will get you the graphical installer for these processors.
