I just installed CentRC1 on a Dell gx150 as a test. I'm running into the same problem I had with Fc3. I get a partition table error when trying to use ghost8 to create an image. I was considering putting Cent4 on a ProliantDL380, FC3 installed on that machine but wouldn't boot up, stuck on Grub. I had FC2 on the Proliant but when FC2 went to the 2.6 kernel, it hung up on the Nash prompt. So I ended up putting WBEL on that machine. I'm still evaluating what OS I want to finally put on there. Looks like Centos3 or a BSD. So my question is, does anyone know if RH will ever put the 2.6 kernel in RHEL3? I'm not getting a lot of warm fuzzies anymore from linux, since the 2.6 kernels have come out. I can hang with CentOS3 until 2008 as long as the kernel stays with something that works. Has anyone tried RHEL4 or Cent4 on a proliant DL380? Dave Kaupp Catholic Charities, Diocese of San Diego http://www.ccdsd.org 619-231-2828 x520 619-287-9454 x157
We've had some issues at work with similar things, and it seems due more to breakage in ghost than anything else. Kickstart files work like a champ for making multiple identical machines if that's your thing, but a good kickstart file can also provide you with a fast method to rebuild a server should you feel a burning desire to burn it down and start over. The 2.6 kernel and specifically SELinux give me the most warm&fuzzy feelings I've had for a while. I'd not be so quick to write it off just because some 3rd party (primarily windows oriented app) doesn't work well. Just my $0.02 -- Jim Perrin.

The warm and fuzzes was mostly towards the rackmount I had put FC3 and FC2 on. FC2 crapped out when the 2.6 kernel was introduced, Fc3 wouldn't even boot past grub. If I had the time I would investigate the situation more, but I'm pretty much the only tech for 250+ desktops and other IT duties. Kickstart is on my long list of things to do. I'm using ghost since, it seems(ed?) to work and its an application my boss is accustomed to. I'm going to stick with Cent3 at work and try Cent4 on my home server. the not being able to boot issue may not have been due to the 2.6 kernel Dave Kaupp Catholic Charities, Diocese of San Diego http://www.ccdsd.org 619-231-2828 x520 619-287-9454 x157>>> jperrin at gmail.com 02/19/05 11:40AM >>>We've had some issues at work with similar things, and it seems due more to breakage in ghost than anything else.
