similar to: rebuilding centos 2.1 isos

I've just attempted to reinstall my ancient laptop that has Pentium MMX processor. Since it is ancient, I've decided to go with CentOS 2.1. Got stuck, installer claims I need at least i686. Hmmm... I know that 3.8 and 4.4 work without a glitch on i586, so this came as surprise. I even thing original RHEL2.1 might had support for i586 too (but I might be wrong). Anyhow, what

Which is why I always symlink /etc/localtime Not only does it solve these issues, but it makes it very clear which timezone is selected! -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Aleksandar Milivojevic Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 2:45 PM To: centos at centos.org Subject: Re: [CentOS] New Standard/Daylight time-change

I'm rebuilding the centosplus kernel with ISA P&P and ISA some devies enabled. At the very end of compilation, I got a lot of error messages that looked like: Error: ./init/initramfs.o .text refers to 0000046e R_386_PC32 .init.text Error: ./init/initramfs.o .text refers to 0000059c R_386_PC32 .init.text Error: ./init/initramfs.o .text refers to 000007a8 R_386_PC32

I've just had a problem on one of my x86_64 boxes with openssl package. I have an 32-bit only application that requires openssl libraries. When I attempted to install openssl.i686 (in addition to already present openssl.x86_64), it failed. The rpm complained about conflicting files (they were all manpages), and I needed to use --force option to install the thing. The good folks

The recent htmlentities/htmlspecialchars bug was affecting all versions of PHP older than 5.2.0.

Hi, I've just started testing CentOS 4.4 installs. When installing on two mirrored drives, the bootloader got installed into the first partition, instead of MBR. It was a kickstart install, and I used "bootloader --location=mbr" in the kickstart file (which is also a default). However, when looking into /root/anaconda-ks.cfg file, misteriously it was changed to

I'm trying to install CentOS 2.1 on SATA drive that lives on ICH7R controller. I have the controller setup in BIOS to "compatibility" mode, which means it should look just like regular IDE controller to the OS. In this mode, ide0 and ide1 are PATA controllers, and 4 SATA ports are mapped to ide2 and ide3. If I boot from the 2.1 installation CD, all the drives are detected

I've created kernel-isa and kernel-isasmp packages (currently i586, there'll be i686 version soon too). Basically, it is centosplus kernel with ISA Plug and Play, ISA and PCMCIA sound cards and ISA network cards enabled. The change to kernel spec file to add these two packages was fairly simple, and I hope this might find the way into centosplus kernel. If maintainer(s) of

Hi, I'll need to buy a new wireless card. I need a recommendation for PCMCIA wireless card that simply works with CentOS out of the box. By "works out of the box", I mean that it doesn't need ndis wrapper (or whatever it is called), kernel hacks, or whatever. Thanks

Is it possible to have a route stick in the kernel, even if device it points to goes to roller coaster up and down drive. For example. I have an ADSL modem and am doing VPN over it. There's a route needed for VPN added like this: ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 1.2.3.4 src 192.168.2.1 There are two problems with it: a) if ADSL link is down when above command is executed, the route

I've found discussion about this in list archives, but no final answers. Many helpfull people wrote in the past how to avoid creating DVD (install from network, install from disk, boot this way, boot that way). But, I do need DVD, no way around it. No network, no USB, no floppy, no anything. Placing files on hard drive not an option. Just a DVD-ROM. By Googling around, I found some

OK, I have managed to get software RAID 1 running on my wonderful Proliant server but now have two challenges: 1) Fresh after an OS install and reboot, the RAID array starts to do its stuff but straight away (as part of the boot messages) I am told that the second disk is 'not ready for command' and the system hangs as soon as resyncing starts. I think this is fixed by adding an hdparm
