Long time waiting on boot
I just installed Centos 5.1 with XEN on my HP nc2400 duo core and there are two problems out the starting gate: Oh, I am booting off a 40Gb 2.5" drive on a USB adapter. The internal hard drive is encrypted and not usable right now (until I get XEN figured out). But I don't think it has a bearing... The system hangs for some reason at v...

Live CD Planning systems
My company supplies me with a very nice HP nc2400. Much faster, more memory, etc than my old HP nc4010. Problem is the drive is not swappable, and they encrypt the drive (the OS is XP). The nc2400 has a DVD/CDRW and 2 USB 2.0 ports so I was thinking..... Make a Live DVD with everything I need but map /etc /root /home and /var/log (and what...

ipw3945 wireless not working
This is a new Centos 5.1 install on a HP nc2400 (that use to run XP). Completely clean install; blew away the XP partitions... After applying all the updates, and configuring for the rpmforge repo, I used yumex to install dkms and the dkms-ipw3945, ipw3945-firmware, and ipw3945d rpms. lsmod|grep ipw shows: ipw3945 180391 1 i...

Checking fan state
I just replaced my fan in my nc2400. It was a 5hour job. Had to pull EVERYTHING to get to where they have the fan in the thing. Now I want to know if it is working. It is suppose to be thermostatically controlled, and it takes time to heat up. So how can I find out what Centos knows about the system temp and fan state? It was...

CentOS 5.2 -- how do I choose a wireless network?
Hi. We have a Windows laptop that has gotten too slow, it's borderline unusable, so I burned a CentOS 5.2 32-bit Live CD, just to try it out in the home. It boots up fine, but it does not connect to the Internet... Now we normally connect through a wireless network, there are several around here -- on the Windows box we choose the network to which to connect... but on CentOS there is

Keep lossing wireless - ipw3945
...686 0:2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 Installed: kernel.i686 0:2.6.18-128.1.16.el5 kernel-devel.i686 0:2.6.18-128.1.16.el5 Updated: kernel-headers.i386 0:2.6.18-128.1.16.el5 Complete! But despite that unistalling ipw3945 message, wireless worked, or it seemed. I am seeing log messages like: Jul 15 10:35:28 nc2400 kernel: ipw3945: Detected geography ABG (11 802.11bg chan nels, 13 802.11a channels) a lot. When I lost the wireless and tried to restart everything I saw: Jul 15 10:37:27 nc2400 NetworkManager: <WARN> scan_results_cb(): could not get scan results: An error ocurred getting scan results...

Firewall frustration
Well FWbuilder is NOT easy. The documentation does not match the current GUI. Now the box is locked up. I will have to pull it again, hook it up to a kybd/VGA and reset iptables.... Maybe Shoreline with webmin.... Problem is I want a REAL router/firewall with little work. Both public and private nets have routable addresses. No NATing for me! I just help write the RFC ;) And all the

Battery condition tools CentOS/Dell
Hello all: Does anyone know of a tool/project that will allow me to read the battery condition (not the charge status) on a Dell laptop battery? Under XP there is a utility that warns that the battery is still holding a charge but that the battery is degraded and should be replaced. Also, not sure if this is possible, but I would like to control how the laptop charges the battery. I tend to
