To the Centos maintainers: We tried to install Centos 4.4 i386 (i686 / Athlon) on a Dual Opteron 254 Iwill DK8N MB, 1GB (4 x 256M) system with a 3ware 9500S-4 and 4 x 80 GB disks in a RAID 10 array. Both tries caused Centos to first kernel panic until we turned off IO-APIC in the BIOS. Both tries also only loaded the UP kernel and did not load the smp kernel on the machine. The smp kernel was

We have created a Centos 9500S Floppy Boot Disk for installing Centos on a 3ware 9500S series controller that will allow installing and booting directly from this controller. This boot disk supports only AMD XP, MP and Opterons in 32 bit mode Centos 3.4 for the up and smp versions. We can also do a x86_64 version if required. Any interest???? If so we will post it to our web site. Thanks

Ok, Way too many requests. SO..... here's my Mini How-To. Use of this is at your own risk, Blah Blah Blah legal disclaimer applies..... ;-) Download from either: http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/ or http://www.integratedsolutions.org/downloads/i2c-2.8.7.tar.gz http://www.integratedsolutions.org/downloads/i2c-2.9.0.1.patch http://www.integratedsolutions.org/downloads/i2c-2.9.0.tar.gz

We have just posted new 3ware 9500 install boot driver disks based on the new 3ware 9.1.5.2 drivers. This install disk will ONLY work with Athlon and Opteron based systems running 32 bit CentOS 3.3 These images also contain built-in firmware upgrades for the 3ware 9500 SATA Raid controllers and provide increased RAID 5 performance. Also added to the download page is a version of 3DM2 disk

We have built and packaged a driver install disk for CentOS 3.3 for the 3ware 9500S series of SATA Raid controllers to allow iso installation and booting from a 3ware 9500S based RAID array. Its available at: http://www.integratedsolutions.org/drivers.html We only ask that you log in so we can send you update notices as new drivers become available. We will not use the information for any other

To the list: 1) Someone off the list (thanks!) offered to send me an RT kernel based on 2.6.23.X. So I thought why not try to build a standard / server type based on the standard 2.6.23 version. 2) Red Hat 6 Beta 2 is based on a similar starting point 3) I was not going to fix something Red Hat broke. They responded to me that they only support the configuration of the generic binary they

kernel 2.6.32-279.9.1.el6.x86_64 does not build from the source rpm's using the UNmodified config file and following the directions explicitly. Previous kernels build fine from the same directions. A little help from the developers would be greatly appreciated. while building I get this output: c1: warnings being treated as errors drivers/base/platform.c:621: error:

To the Linux Community at Large: I reported to this list back in January, 2010 that the standard x86_64 kernel, when built from the src.rpm and modified for AMD K8 / K10 Extensions would not build. I reported this here and to Red Hat via Bugzilla ID number 558367. RH AS / Centos 5.3 worked fine. That was Centos 5.4 / Red Hat Enterprise AS 5 Update 4. Today we tried to optimize Red Hat

I would add the below: -Recommend using CentOS 4.0 -Use squid rpm, no tar (this is for new users I'm guessing). -Recommend using etherape and iptraf (available as rpms) for a graphical overview of traffic. http://etherape.sourceforge.net/ -Recommend the use of chkrootkit, and TCP Wrappers (at the least put ALL: ALL EXCEPT PARANOID in /etc/hosts.allow) to protect servers. -Provide some

I have installed Centos 6.2 on: 1) Tyan S2892 with ATI on board Rage XL graphics ( Centos x86_64 version), 8GB memory, 3ware Raid array 2) Supermicro Dual Xeon Single core, old machine, with ATI onboard Rage XL graphics (Centos i386 version), 12GB memory, 3ware Raid array Both machines exhibit the same error. While trying to select a screen saver (clock or blank screen) the application seg

I'm just wondering what folks are using to benchmark/tune large arrays these days. I've always used bonnie with file sizes 2-3 times physical RAM. Maybe there's a better way? Cheers,

Hey all, After seeing the horrible lack of support for Promise cards in Redhat Enterprise/CentOS, I am looking for a recommendation for a good IDE RAID controller that is supported out of the box (i.e. I would prefer not to have to install via a driver disk). I would prefer ATA 133 over Serial ATA for now. Thanks! Sean

Hello! I need to get an arcnet device driver up and running. Normally it appears to be distributed with linux, but not installed. So, I need to compile and install it, naturally. So, where is the kernel souce for 2.6.9-42.ELsmp? I can find kernel source for 2.6.9. BTW, I obtained 2.6.9 and tried compiling it, but all I got was *.o files and insmod: error inserting 'arcnet.o`: -1

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Have you tried compiling the driver from source off 3ware's website? There's a pretty easy perl script included to compile it included with the download.</font> <br> <br> <br> <br> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <td><font size=1

Using centos 4.2. Trying to install pci sata raid card, Pacific Digital QM-4300R10. Raid card box reads that it supports linux. raid software has rhel 4.0 dd image. I write to floppy and use linux dd to "try" install drivers on my centos 4.2. I see the card in the list that centos gives me after loading the drivers, but when I try to use them, it doesn't do anything. Nothing works.

greetings, it has been a long time and i do not recall all the specifics if one loads CentOS Linux on a machine with an PATA IDE or SCSI hard drive interface then i should be able to interchange that drive on virtually _ANY_ machine with an PATA IDE or SCSI respectively right?? (ignore physical connector differences on SCSI) i believe the answer(s) to be yes... now, what about the newer SATA?

Hello I have at this time a w3are 7006-2 controller in my server Dual Xenon 2.8Ghz . But now i will change it to a 9500S-4LP SATA Raid Controller. I have seen in lsmod that the 7000 driver is loaded. scsi_mod 115112 3 [sg 3w-xxxx sd_mod] My question Is it possible to running this card with centos 3.3? I have seen this at 3ware http://www.3ware.com/KB/article.aspx?id=12706 But

Hello listmates, I would like to build a 12-15 TB RAID 5 data server to run under ContOS. Any recommendations as far as hardware, configuration, etc? Thanks. Boris.

Hey guys, I'm having a really huge problem, it seems like Asterisk is locking my licenses of g729 after being used. For example, 10 people make calls using this codec. Then I can see the channels and the codecs being used, cool. But then when they hang up the call the codes are still there, as being used... I don't know if its a bug or a miss configuration, but the fact is that I've
