similar to: Last character of the boot prompt gone missing ?

Hi, Today I was contacted by a VMware colleague asking me why my test systems were using almost 100% CPU while waiting for a prompt. He was used to this behaviour for DOS guests :) Apparently the isolinux boot CD that is waiting for another test Linux installation is using about 1.8Ghz of the 2.5Ghz virtual CPU on a VMware ESX 3.0.2 host. Since I have 5 of these VM guests that are used for

Hi all, I've updated our Team page a bit, added a table for everyone already there. Now I still don't like the fact that we have the distinction between the Core members (whatever that means) and the others. Some have a @centos.org email address, we could use that as a distinction ? I do think we need to make that page exclusive to people that have some sort of responsibility, and

Hi dag! Thx for your reply! So, there will be no release in the near future of centos 5 for Z? At the moment we got a realy small z/linux installation, but i love it. Keeping the TCO as low as we can was necessary to satisfy the decision-maker. So we decided to choos a free linux distribution, centos was a good decicion we thougt. (redhat / fedora was always my favorite flavor *g*) It would

Hi, Can we use the same image for external links on the wiki as we are using for Trac ? It is much less obtrusive in pieces of text. A gray box with arrow instead of a colorful globe. -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

Hi, Going over the wiki some more I noticed that the GettingHelp and Documentation page contain the same type of information and could be merged (and reduced) as well. On the FrontPage it is called "Learn" (which I like) and points to the Documentation page. On top it says "Help" and points to the GettingHelp page. I would prefer to keep the Documentation page (or rename

Hi everyone, The CentOS project is looking for more slogans that may end up on promotional material (eg media, flyers, posters or stickers). We already collected a few funny, ironic, sarcastic or even distasteful ones. Feel free to visit our Slogans wiki page for a good laugh or rude offenses and add your own slogan by sending them to this thread. See: http://wiki.centos.org/Promo/Slogans

Hi, I have been experimenting a bit with lua.c32 and I have created a small lua.c32 wiki page at: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Lua.c32 With my minimal knowledge about Lua (and the inconvenience of not being able to copy&paste or edit scripts) I discovered that the dmi module has 2 functions (supported, gettable) and a syslinux module with 1 function (run_command). Do we

Hi, I had one entry in my main menu which looked like: label exit menu label ^Exit menu menu quit Now, I did not expect anyone to type: exit on the boot-prompt. But someone did today and we discovered that isolinux froze (and even ctrl-alt-del did not cause a reboot). Unfortunately in this instance we also found that the RSA adapter was not or incorrectly configured. And we could not

It appears that the 3.74 completely broke the "keeppxe" directive -- not due to the command-line parser, but due to mishandling of the flag later. I consider this to be severe enough to do a short-cycle 3.75. As a result, I would like help with: a) are there any other bugs that snuck through? b) once I have a 3.75-pre1, I would really appreciate help testing it. The goal is to have

Hi, I'm having a problem rsyncing one file (since I signed it). It seems that the content of a file is able to cause problems in the protocol. building file list ... 28820 files to consider apt/packages/avifile/ apt/packages/avifile/avifile-0.7.34-1.dag.rh90.i386.rpm rsync: error writing 4 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Broken pipe rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code

Hi, Since a --direct-io feature was requested a few times the past decade with little response and the actual patch is quite trivial, I patched both v3.0.9 and master branch and included the patches here. If this functionality is acceptable I don't mind spending the additional effort to update the documentation, etc. Beware that the underlying filesystem needs Direct I/O support,

Hi, I once again have a problem with memdisk failing to boot a harddisk image to update my Thinkpad X200s firmware. I extracted the harddisk image from the eltorito type 4 ISO using the isobar tool. Then I added memdisk using this image as initrd to my grub, rebooted and it boots into PC DOS and then freezes (ctrl-alt-del still works to reboot the system). Inside Qemu however it works fine

Hi all, I would like to release Syslinux 4.02 TODAY. If there is anything I'm missing, or which is wrong in Syslinux 4.02-pre3, please scream loudly NOW... -hpa

Hi, Is it possible to rename the CentOS Events tab to simply Events ? The other tabs do not include CentOS either. For a published article today I required a desktop screenshot. However on 1024x768 with a non-fullscreen browser at wiki.centos.org, the number of tabs required me to make the browser-width larger than I liked it to be. Renaming "CentOS Events" to "Events"

Hi guys, I would like to reorganise the general CentOS FAQ. It now has 20 questions about a lot of different things that can be structure much better. I would like to add some questions, but lacking any structure... I would like to make a distinction between the following subjects: - General questions about the CentOS project Answers about what the project is about, why the project

Hi, I constantly find myself fighting the wiki syntax. Today the problem is that I want a TableOfContents that does NOT include the page title. To be honest, I do not understand why the page title (level 1) is included in the TOC, and why it does not appear in the head-title (<head><title>). I found with Google that there is a syntax like: [[TableOfContents(4,2)]] instead of

Hi, Probably too late for the main tracks, but it would be nice to see a syslinux-related presentation at FOSDEM 2012. There are a few tracks where syslinux fits in (Configuration and Systems Management, Embedded, Distribution ?) so it shouldn't be hard to get one or more slots. I enjoyed Peter's presence two years ago and it lead to an uptake of the project (I remember Erwan

Hi, For those that have access to the Newsletter, last call for updates. I will release and announce it in 30 minutes. http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter/0902 Sorry for the late warning, it's only finished now on a late schedule. I hope we can have it finished at least 36h in advance next release ! Thanks, -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors
