Greetings, We have purchased an IBM BladeCenter and I am in the process of testing Linux installation on these things (boot off SAN i.e. qla2300 driver, not using internal drives). My distro of choice is Debian, however, since I'm really not interested in trying to hand compile all the drivers, I decided to try CentOS (which I'm so far very impressed with). On boot, as with the

I would like to add a driver (bcm5700.ko) in modules.cgz. but there are several files modules.cgz . In which files I do have to add the drivers: - initrd.img ? - stage2.img ? - netstg2.img ? - hdstg2.img ? Denis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have a cluster (212 nodes) that are on a gig-e network useing jumbo frames (mtu 6000) To reload a node we have to plug it into a regular 1500 mtu that is running off a differnt port on the head node to install. Is there a way to tell in the 'append' line of /pxelinux.cfg/default to have the bcm5700 module run wiht jumbo frames. this is our append right now append load_ramdisk=1

Hi Brock, I'm trying set full duplex on a server that is being pxeboot/provisioned via autoyast. We want to ensure the duplex is full DURING the autoyast provisioning itself. I've played the syslinux configs to specify the bcm5600 driver, but was having trouble with setting the network options. I've tryed appending them as well, but nothing on the internet seems to indicate that

I'm running RHEL/CentOS 3 (2.4.21-47.ELsmp) with Broadcom NIC and BASP bonding (bcm5700 v8.1.55) When network traffic is ~12MB/sec (== ~120K packets/sec) CPU system load is growing up to 50-60%%. Yes, I know, that small packets (~100 bytes/packet) are not optimal for network throughput, but in the short-middle term I cannot re-write our application. Are there any network driver / kernel

Hello friends I've problem with my Centos 4.3. On start some information: 1. serwer HP DL 380 x Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz 2. RAM 4GB 3. HDD storage FC 4. kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP This serwer is working with another one (that some configuration) in RHEL cluster (locking by DLM), as a file serwer with samba-3.0.22. Samba have about 100 simultaneus sessions. Problem is with load

Greetings: I know it's been mentioned before that the tg3 driver in CentOS 3.4 is buggy. I had to revert to 3.4 today from 4 (fresh install) and now I have no link and thus no network. I'm wondering if this is caused by this bug and what the work-around is. Thanks. Brendon Colby

My goal is to be able to install to the drive array on the 3Ware controller card. 3Ware does provide a RH WS 3 driver that I've tried to use; however, the RH Enterprise 3 WS driver doesn't work since that kernel is older than the CentOS-3.1 install kernel. I'm trying to create a centOS-3.1 installation driver disk for the 3ware 9500S card; however, I'm not having much luck.

Hello, I have a live-cd which has a syslinux on it and boots a linux kernel. It works ok and boots the kernel ok from a CD drive. Now,I need to add support for this live-cd so that it will boot from an external USB cdrom drive. My bios **DOES** support booting from USB; but when I try to boot it hangs in the middle while looking for usb-storage drivers. I can gunzip

Hi, Has anyone successfully installed Centos4 on the newer AMD powered Sun gear? I really want to hear if there are gotchas or lost/decreased functionality. a -Rickp

Quite simply, HOW? :) I have the pxeboot initrd.img from the RH 3.0 AS CD's. We need to put a new cciss.o driver from HP into this initrd.img. Unforunately, the modules in the pxeboot initrd.img we have are 2.4.21-4 and our new driver is compiled for 2.4.21-15, so we have to upgrade everything. I downloaded the kernel-BOOT-2.4.21-15 RPM and installed that, so I have all those drivers. My

Folks I know that support for the network adaptors supported by the 'e1000' driver have been removed from the base distribution. However, I have exactly that controller (Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet PCI, not PCIe). Is there a way for me to add support for that on Centos 8.1? Perhaps a driver in an RPM package? Thanks David

List, I have attempted to make my own megaraid driver disk for a Dell PowerEdge 2300. The procedure I'm using is detailed at the end of this message. In short, I followed samples that I collected after Googling around. The problem I face is that the CentOS 4 installer can't seem to mount the driver disk after I have created it. It gives no information other than, "Cannot

I'm new to the lists so sorry about any faux pas I may have made. Also I apologize for the length, but I wanted to be sure I covered most of the details. I'm trying to do a PXE install on an Intel 1435VP2 server machine. The PXE install has worked on all the older machines in the cluster, so I know PXE is working. However, these new Intel server machines only support PXE booting from

Hi All, I have an "appliance" cd which uses CentOS 4.0 (Final) which I am trying to load on a new Dell 1950 server with a SAS driver controller. During the install it fails to find any disks to load to. I got the drivers from Dell and dd the correct one to a floppy, boot from the appliance cd and enter linux dd at the prompt. I load the driver in the install and it still fails to find

Recent SUP. Installed on Dell PowerEdge 4600. Getting tons of: Sep 30 12:23:16 zige /kernel: bge0: gigabit link up Sep 30 12:23:46 zige last message repeated 98 times Also getting some TCP retransmits. This causes noticable delays in pretty much everything I do now. Not a problem prior to the SUP. I was on 4.8-STABLE before. When pulling/replacing cables, it went into a mode where it would
