I have the same problem on the install disks and on the Live CD: The computer locks as soon as the Xserver starts. I end up with a blank screen (color varies) with a moving mouse cursor. Nothing else. Nothing appears on the screen. Keyboard and mouse are inoperative. Even Alt-SysRq-R doesn't work. Only way out is the reset button (or maybe SSH, but I don't have another machine handy

...filesystem driver or anything else in the list of directories compiled into it as long as its name matches the "interface-name" parameter. Corollary: Any module in /lib/modules can be loaded into kernel memory by any user at any time. There are potential denial-of-service attacks from autoprobes and device initialization all kinds of other goo that I wish I didn''t have to think about here. Here are four alternative fixes: Fix 1: Add a keyword to /etc/modules.conf that puts kerneld Into a mode where nothing that wasn''t explicitly listed in /etc/modules could be loaded....

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The autodetection routines for some linux modules can tie up the machine for several seconds at a time. By trying to open devices not present on the machine, a local user can disrupt service considerably. A very simple exploit is victim$ ls /dev/*/* repeatedly. A suggested fix is to remove or chmod 0 device nodes for hardware not installed on the

...to install CentOs 4 onto and am having problems getting the darn thing to recognize the hard drives. (it's worth noting that it's running RAID 0 and the RAID bios recognizes both drives as being in "optimal" state). I start the installation process and all is going well until it autoprobes. All other hardware is found except for the hard drives. The install subsequently fails because there the drives can't be found. I have been googling my brain out over the last week and this seems to be an issue with installing linux on this particular server model. (surrounding the megaraid d...

Hi I am just starting with xen and trying to get a few vm''s running on this pentium 4 system. I tried using virt-install to start things. I am using this link as the install base: ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/ , and a local file as hard drive. What happens is that virt-install downloads the kernel, boots, a VNC window for the new VM appears, but it

Alex, I'm trying to think through how binding/unbinding of devices will work with VFIO for platform devices and have a couple of questions about how vfio-pci works. When you bind a device to vfio-pci, e.g.: # echo 1102 0002 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id ...I understand that the echo into 'new_id' tells the vfio pci driver that it now handles the specified PCI ID. But

tags 490409 + patch thanks Hi, The following is the diff for my xen-3 3.2.1-2.1 NMU. It incorporates three patches from upstream and aims to fix CVE-2008-2004 aka #490409. It is not yet tested much, I would appreciate if interested parties could give it a try. I'll upload in due course. Kind regards T. diff -u xen-3-3.2.1/debian/control.md5sum xen-3-3.2.1/debian/control.md5sum ---

Dear All, I have a following query: - My initrd image is created using ext2 filesystem. - The filesystem type of / is specified as ext3 in /etc/fstab file. - I dont mount the real root during execution of linuxrc because I referred some documents saying that if you dont mount real root from linuxrc the kernel will mount it after linuxrc is finished. - The system boots up successfully, mount

I'm trying to set up a VNC server using the instructions at http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/linux-and-open-source/linux-101-easy-vnc-server-setup/ . I am up to step 6: Step 6: Edit iptables In order for the VNC connections to get through, you must allow them with iptables. To do this, open up the file /etc/sysconfig/iptables and add the line: -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -m

Maybe you need to be clearer. The screen's configuration is not really configured in your home directory, but by X (although these days it's all autoprobed). Are you talking about what icons

I have already a running automated Deployment system using pxelinux and tftd and a 1,44 floppy image (memdisk) with ms-dos and 3-com undi drivers. The whole thing is working good, and i am not unhappy about it. But, the dos image solution has a few disadvanatages, because i cannot find a mtftp client for ms-dos to deploy a lot of system at the same time. Under linux such client exists, but i
