similar to: Problems with 4.3 install - didnt write boot record

Im sorry if this is a newb question, but how do you recompile the kernel in CentOS 4.3? I need to add reiserfs support (even though the setup detected it) the kernel it gave me didnt have support for reiserfs, and my entire fileserver is all reiserfs. I tried the gentoo way, which im use to and it bombed. What do i need to do? does it install kernel source by default? I couldnt find any good

I'm trying to arrange the SSH client here to default to allowing X forwarding etc. to local machines (within the .dur.ac.uk domain) without forwarding X to off-site machines. Now, I read that the hostname isn't canonicalised (what a horrible word!) so I presume I have to match on both *.dur.ac.uk and *-without-any-dots-in-it. How do I do this in practice? If ssh is presently not

Hi, I've been using an CentOS4.4 version. All was well till 2 days back. Suddenly when the PC was booted-up, it wouldn't bootup. It gets stuck displaying the following message. exec of init (/sbin/init) failed !!!: 80 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! I entered the rescue mode and attempted chroot /mnt/sysimage It spitted an error

I'm trying to add XFS and ReiserFS to CentOS, integrating with Kickstart. I think I'm fairly close. I've added xfs.ko and reiserfs.ko to modules.cgz in initrd. Several of my partitions now specify --fstype=xfs. I can see tty5 mkfs.xfs is creating the XFS file systems. The system currently installs completely via kickstart, but it does not mount the XFS file systems while in the

I boot from the installation DVD, with an already existing CentOS 5.5 system on my hard disks. I have separate boot, root, and home partitions. I have moved the boot partition and now I need to re-initialize grub from rescue mode. Attempting to use 'rescue mode" to automatically mount my system under /mnt/sysimage eventally fails with an error message, which essentially says

Hi. I have cloned a RHEL 5.6 physical server over to a ESXi 5.0 Virtual Machine. Using a live CD on the new Virtual Machine I created 3 partition /boot (/dev/sda1), / (/dev/sda2) and swap (/dev/sda3), I then mounted the / (sda2) partition and created the /boot directory and mount the boot partition partition /dev/sda1 into /boot. I then used rsync to copy the source machine over to the Virtual

Very low priority. No user data at risk. 8GB virtual disk being installed to, and the installer is puking. I''m trying to figure out why. I first get an rsync error 12, followed by the installer crashing. What''s interesting is this, deleting irrelevant source file systems, just showing the mounts for the installed system: [root@localhost tmp]# df Filesystem

Hello, Since last few days I have noticed some people complaining that their call gets disconnected while they are in the middle of the conversations. Looking in the log I found these error messages, Dec 10 11:18:56 DEBUG[8833] channel.c: Bridge stops bridging channels SIP/5060-b7a03560 and SIP/219.206.2.291-089d8768 Dec 10 11:26:41 DEBUG[10410] channel.c: Didn't get a frame from channel:

Where is the best place for me to change the PID file location? I _could_ change it in ssh.h but then I'd have to do this every time. Am I best to put in a -DPIDDIR="/etc" or something? Alternatively, would it be easy to change the configure.in stuff to let me do a --pid-dir="/etc" or a --pid-file="/etc/ssh.pid"? Thanks, Andrew Stribblehill Systems Programmer,

Hi Updated the firmware on a PERC RAID card as it was out of date and causing a monitoring error - Everything went fine but on the reboot the box now tells me it cant find a valid boot device - I am thinking maybe somehow the boot block on the logical disk is shot. Can anyone advise me on how to rebuild the bootloader on lilo using a rescue CD? thanks

I had to unmount the boot partition (being in Troubleshooting mode), run the above command, which provided a new UUID and at last the partition was recognized as xfs. (I forgot to copy the output to paste here.) I then mounted the boot partition again, chrooted, grub2-install'ed successfully,
