similar to: APM on SMP kernel

We have a server running Centos-3 with all latest updates. The server hosts 3 printers for us which are accessed by various Windows clients. About 3 months ago we noticed that, after a cups update, if you looked at the print queues in Windows they would show old jobs that had long been printed. After a further cups update this quirk went away but it's just come backs again - possibly after

Hi folks, Just a quick hello having installed CentOS on my first box - an Acer Altos G310 (P4 2.8GHz, 768MB RAM with 70GB + 300GB storage. The 300GB unit is a SATA disk which I hope to software (hardware!?) mirror - if I'm in for any major fun mirroring a SATA drive do let me know now - I think hardware mirroring is not an option (yet!?) but I haven't checked this out completely. This

Hi, We have a problem with Syslinux 2.07 and APM on an SMP system. When either network booting with pxelinux.0 or CDROM booting with isolinux we get a kernel error message: Jan 7 09:59:51 ddcserver1 kernel: kernel BUG at apm.c:1756! Jan 7 09:59:51 ddcserver1 kernel: invalid operand: 0000 Jan 7 09:59:51 ddcserver1 kernel: Jan 7 09:59:51 ddcserver1 kernel: CPU: 1 Jan 7 09:59:51 ddcserver1

Apologies if you get this twice - the first one didn't seem to make it... Hi Guys, I have just replaced a faulty Max...woah, wait...this one's a Seagate... IDE hard disk but I cannot remake the software raid pair. The currently running disk is hda and I am trying to add back hdg - both are master drives on separate controllers. I have run fdisk on hdg and created the same partition

Can anyone with a well-connected crystal ball suggest a timeframe for an IA64 release of CentOS 5? Weeks? Months? Never?

Here's one for you if you have the time: I very stupidly killed the wrong process on a server on a remote site on Friday and now I cannot ssh login to it! It's not a major problem as it's main functions are as a file and print sharer (samba) and to run postfix/mailscanner, and I can have someone on site reboot the server when they start work on Monday, but I was wondering whether I

Hi, As per the subject line - if I look up setting up chroot jails for SFTP over SSH2 I'm led to various Web sites and patches and also to a CentOS wiki page dated 2005, but what's the 'best' or 'correct' way to set this up for Centos 4.5 and 5? Thanks

Hi, I am hoping someone can kick me up the learning curve (!) on Virtualization: We have an old piece of data logging software that was written in Turbo Pascal 6 using a file I/O module tuned to Netware and so it expects its data files to be on a Netware server and will not access them locally or via an MS/Samba share - essentially, it uses direct NCP calls for parts of its data access. The

Every time cups is updated I have to check mime.convs and mime.types to ensure that references to handling raw file types are uncommented otherwise we notice that one of our printers stops working because the files are overwritten by the updates. Should config files not be left untouched? We do have 'print command = lpr -r -oraw -P %p %s' in smb.conf but this on its own didn't make

Hi - daft one for Friday morning coffee break: I have been trying to mount floppies on a couple of CentOS5 servers - the usual "mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy" (yes, /mnt/floppy exists!). On both servers, the mount command just doesn't come back and I have to hit CTRL-C. I have tried different media and also changed the floppy drive on one server, /dev/fd0 is seen as present on both

Hi Folks, Just in case there are any Mitel gurus here: 1) Is it possible to convince a non-dual mode 5220 phone to 'upgrade' to the SIP firmware? I have inherited one that's Minet only. 2) I have a 5310 conference unit and 5235 phone in SIP mode, but someone's lost the connecting lead. Can anyone recommend anywhere in the UK for a replacement lead or confirm the pin-out so I can

Hi Folks, I am doing a server swap out tomorrow and wondered if there was a utility that will copy user account details and their current passwords from one server to another (both CentOS 4) - there's only about 15 to do so it's not a major issue. Thanks Nigel Kendrick

Having some fun with the APC monitoring daemon (apcupsd) - I've installed the Whitebox rpm and it runs OK but I cannot communicate with the UPS on ttyS0 or ttyS1. I'm using a supported cable (according to the utility's Web site). I've followed the troubleshooting tips on the app's Web site with no luck - the only bit that I can't resolve is it recommends disabling logins

Morning everyone, I was hoping to use mdbtools to extract data from some Access databases overnight. I have yum installed the tools from Dag and also downloaded and (eventually!) compiled the latest release from the mdbtools web site, but I either get 'buffer overflow' errors or no output from most of the tools. I have been trying to cvs checkout the latest development version but

One of our group companies has just 'gone live' on a new laboratory management package. Although the software is M$-based (ie: expects a M$ server at the heart of it), it is running with its core database on a CentOS3 server using Samba for client access - in fact, the developers are amazed at the performance and say it beats a Win2K/2K3 server 'hands down'!!! Anyway, the old lab

Hi folks, probably not CentOS specific but any help appreciated: One of our CentOS4 servers crashed and when checked there was a disk problem which turned out to be a faulty SATA cable on one of the RAID 1 drives. This was sorted and the server brought back up after the usual disk checks and all has been well for the last week. Today, however, I tried 'df -h' and got: Filesystem

I have been delving into how to get this HP NC4010 to suspend. I think the practice of just closing the unit for 15+ min inside my backpack as I move to the next meeting is what cooked my drive... So it seems that Debian users have been successful with APM: http://www.proulx.com/~bob/nc4000/ and http://www.gag.com/~bdale/nc4000/ So my Centos related questions are: I need to turn acpi=off

Hi folks, I have just installed a PCI SATA controller based on the SIL3112A chipset into my Centos-3 (latest kernel patches applied) system and moved an existing (not the boot disk) SATA drive from the onboard controller to the SIL-based one so I can setup software RAID with two 300GB drives. Kudzu/Linux found the controller and drives straight away and they've appeared as 'hda' and

Hello, In case anyone is interested, here are the source code for comboot and com32 modules for powering down a computer using APM. I started work on the ACPI version of it, but it will take some time to parse the spec.

APM BIOS code has a protective wrapper that runs it only on CPU zero. Thus, no need to set APM BIOS segments in the GDT for other CPUs.
