Hello all, There are significant kernel defects in CentOS 4 which affects our servers. Our most serious bug is mentioned in http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=870 however it says: "Some of these kernel issues are known to have been fixed upstream and should make the 4.1 Release ( due soon now )" How soon is the release of the CentOS 4.1 version? -- sukru

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Could someone possibly clarify the relationship between these 2 programs? I am in a situation where I am developing for an embedded system, and I need to rewrite my CMOS before I actually boot into linux. ~ The only tools for manipulating my cmos happen to be DOS utilities, and I was hoping that I could script their use in autoexec.bat or somewhere

Can I boot to memdisk using loadlin.exe? I saw that there were references to loadlin in the memdisk init.S (at least in the 2.04 version) so I thought it would be possible. If there's some resource that I can refer to I'd love to know that. DR-DOS 7.02 loadlin.exe 1.6c Sorry if this is a FAQ, I looked through the digest some before I joined this list, but I didn't see anything there

Hi, I'm a newbie on all of this so this might be a very stupid question! I have a DOS boot disk which loads generic USB drivers to make my USB pen drive accessible under DOS. The pen drive has a number of floppy disk images on it of various utilities and I want to mount these using MEMDISK via LOADLIN. All my attempts so far either freeze the PC or reboot it! I have tried running it from

Hi, Just FYI: I've create a template disk image + small shell script for creating a multi-disk linux boot floppies for kernels and/or initrd's with a size > 1.44 MB. It's based on FreeDOS Beta 8, the XMSdsk ramdisk and Loadlin: http://www.rocklinux.org/people/clifford/MDLBL/ I primary wrote it for ROCK Linux <www.rocklinux.org> but it might be usefull for everyone who

Hi, What the the size limit of booting bzImage file with syslinux ? I have tested different sized bzImage files, and when the files are small <800K, they work with syslinuz, but at some size larger they fail to work. This was the same problem loadlin1.6 had, but loadlin1.6c fixes the issue, and I can boot bzImage sizes up to 1.5Meg with loadlin, but syslinux fails. Can you confirm this

Is there a way I can use arclx.exe to load syslinux? Or has anyone had any experiance using an SGI Workstation 540? And what kind of options to put in Load Identifier = Linux Install OSLoader = \sgiboot\arclx.exe OSLoad Filename = /sgiboot\vmlinux OSLoad Partition = CDROM System Partition = CDROM OSLoad Options = load_ramdisk=1 ramdisk_size=6000 root=/dev/fd0 rw which is in the bios Those

Hi all, Do any of you have any ideas for getting a DOS floppy to reboot to the hard drive (which may contain Windows 98 or XP or Linux or Novell etc etc)? I want to use syslinux, but it does not support the localboot option like pxelinux and isolinux do. Basically, I want to boot DOS from a floppy, run some DOS stuff, then reboot to the hard drive while leaving the floppy disk in the drive.

Hi, I was wondering whether it is technically possible to go back from eg. DOS or Linux directly to the bootloader (instead of rebooting the hardware). We currently have 2 images (one DOS and one Linux) that need to be started before loading a system. They do things like disable PXE on NICs (using an Intel DOS tool), verify the correctness of the network patchings and validate if the

Hi, Sorry for the newbie question, I've been searching the CentOS site and googled, but I couldn't find an answer (probably my bad). I want to install CentOS 4.5, but I'm having troubles with my CD reader. How can I install it from an FTP server ? Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards -- :wq! M?rio Gamito

Hi, I'm working on a Red Hat 7.3 based bootable cd. I have included a number of firmware update floppy images to it succesfully. However, I run into problems trying to build a floppy image for IBM ServerRAID firmware update. The firmware update disk set contains three disks. So their content does not fit into 1.44 nor 2.88 floppy images. To my understanding it possible to build a hard disk

I have an excellent nvidia graphics card, I get excellent fps, all agp features are installed correctly etc. When I drag windows around wit hthe opaque settings on it leaves traces for a couple milliseconds as it redraws the window, but it just looks so crummy to see. I am having a hard time convincing people that using linux is a good idea. People make judgements on this type of thing and

Hi, I tried to mount NTFS partitions to my CentOS installation. The message is: "mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel" Is any possibility to mount it? Maybe I should load some kernel module?

Seems extlinux need to modify the MBR of the hard disk. Am I right?

First I'd like to thank you, and everyone who has contributed to the isolinux development. It has been the solution to many of my development needs. Currently I am creating a Linux system that runs directly from CD. Currently the CD is working and I am using isolinux to boot the CD. The compressed kernel is approximately 2 meg and the compressed initial ramdisk is approximately 4 meg.

Is there a method to reboot a memdisk (floppy) image? I'm working on a DOS-based installation floppy that needs to repartition the hard disk prior to proceeding. DOS will only recognize the updated partition table after a reboot, but I'd like to be able to save information to the currently loaded memdisk floppy disk and simply reboot the image. Possible? I haven't had any luck with
