I've found discussion about this in list archives, but no final answers. Many helpfull people wrote in the past how to avoid creating DVD (install from network, install from disk, boot this way, boot that way). But, I do need DVD, no way around it. No network, no USB, no floppy, no anything. Placing files on hard drive not an option. Just a DVD-ROM. By Googling around, I found some

Dear gurus, Three DELL SC430s were purchased by my company a few months back and I've been told that when they spoke with the DELL representatives, they were informed that these servers were fully RHEL 4.0 compatible. Specs of the servers:- - Pentium 4 - 2.8 GHz - 1 GB RAM - 2x 250GB SATA HDDs I tried installing CentOS 4.0 on it but it doesn't seem to be able to detect any hard

I've just made (yet another) CentOS 4 installation. The install process seems to go fine, however the machine doesn't wan't to boot. The system in question has one of I2O Adaptec RAID controllers. I've configured LVM with one volume group and several volumes. If I boot into the rescue mode, all looks fine and dandy. Anaconda finds the installation, and I can access all

Tripwire is probably one of must-have utilities for many system administrators. However, it is missing from almost all recent Red Hattish distributions. IMO, probably due to the fact that source compiles only on i386, and needs patches to compile almost every time new major version of gcc is released. However, in absence of good replacement, this is all we have. (IMO, other tools such as AIDE

I've just wrote a lenghty email on Fedora ML as reply to Phillip who seems to be in the same trouble as myself... Found that while searching all mailing list archives and bugzillas I could think off (not really successfully, many people with same problems, no answers other than "works for me" -- glad to hear it works for somebody else, but it would be nice if he/she was a bit

Hi, I have a new server HP proliant DL320 G4, with two 160 GB SATA hdds.. I have installed CentOS 4.5 with mdadm without any problem, but when I disconnect one disk the server does not boot or I received a kernel panic when booting... I have disabled the SATA embeded raid (BIOS) and nothing.. I've also download the driver from HP site HP (Embedded SATA RAID Controller Driver Diskette for Red

Hi Last week I had a lengthy thread in which someone indicated the my SIL card is a FRAID (don't know if F stands for the F word or Fake, though it doesn't really matter). I want to replace the controller with a controller that Linux will see the RAID1 group as a single HD and not multiple HDs as it happens with the SIL controller. Recommendations anyone? -- TIA Paolo --------------

I'm trying to install CentOS 4 on an A8V on the PATA/Raid drives on the Promise controller. The Promise controller is recognized (sata_promise), but the PATA drives are not recognized. Base on this thread https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=147303 it seems that there is a patch which was merged in 2.6.11 to get pata working. Any ideas how to proceed? Thanks in advance

OK, I have managed to get software RAID 1 running on my wonderful Proliant server but now have two challenges: 1) Fresh after an OS install and reboot, the RAID array starts to do its stuff but straight away (as part of the boot messages) I am told that the second disk is 'not ready for command' and the system hangs as soon as resyncing starts. I think this is fixed by adding an hdparm

Hi, I have a RAID 1 (using mdadm) on CentOS Linux and in /proc/mdstat I see this: md7 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1] 26627648 blocks [2/2] [UU] [-->> it's OK] md1 : active raid1 sdb3[1] sda3[0] 4192896 blocks [2/2] [UU] [-->> it's OK] md2 : active raid1 sda5[0] sdb5[1] 4192832 blocks [2/2] [UU] [-->> it's OK] md3 : active raid1 sdb6[1] sda6[0] 4192832 blocks [2/2]

As I say before, I'm running databases with a lot of users on a CentOS4x server. Somebody ask me to search the latest hardware to migrate my databases to this new server. I have now an HP EVA8000 storage with a lot of hdds, so I want know which is the best hardware to get the best performance with my storage (HP-EVA8000). Any idea will be appreciate. Thanks in advance. Regards, Israel,

Hello CentOS, Does anyone know if there's a driver out there that'll enable CentOS 4.x to use the Intel Matrix SATA RAID settings on the 915 chipsets? -- Best regards, Mickael mailto:mike at kamloopsbc.com www.MickaelMaddison.com

Hello, guys. I know, that this is old bug, but still... I tried to use patch from bug 19948 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19948), but it does not work. I launch Neverwinter Nights and see only black screen instead of main menu. Here is Wine output Code: fraid at fraid-laptop:/media/D/NWN1$ wine nwmain.exe ALSA lib pcm_pulse.c:1008:(_snd_pcm_pulse_open) Unknown field handle_underrun

Hello, I would like to use nas4free under xcp 1.6. I install it under full HVM using "other install media". Now I am attaching 4 hdds as external disks. The vm sees at most two hdds, I suppose because of bios support (1 boot + 1 cdrom + 2 hdds= 4 hdds). I need to use more disks, is it possible? If not, it seems to me a serious limit. Mario

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has tried and succeeded to use this controller. Its the bc4852 SATA controller. There's supposed to be support for it, but so far we've not been able to get the driver to load during the install and thus we've got no "valid drive" on which to load the OS. thanks, -- Mark

I installed a Centos 4.x system using a lvm install across four HDDs. It is my first install using LVM. System had a power-failure and stopped booting up. A new trainee simply took out the HDDs and restarted the file-server on a fresh HDDs. Now the problemis that the four HDDs have data. But the order of the HDDs (of install....1st primary, 2nd primary etc.) is unknown. Earlier we used to boot

Hi Everyone, I am stack between two identical systems (2U Twin2, 4 nodes, SuperMicro) servers that have the same exact specs except for HDDs. These nodes will all either have Asterisk installed with CentOS or will have Asterisk install in virtual environment. Option 1: *12* x 3.5" HDD (3 HDDs per node) Option 2: *24* x 2.5" HDD (6 HDDs per node) **both options come to the same price.
