similar to: [centos 3.4] e1000 and installation problem

Has anyone yet tried PXE booting the vmlinuz/initrd.img set from Centos 4.0beta2? I have a pxelinux setup that is booting 3.4 PXE images fine, but the equivalent setup for 4.0beta loads the kernel and then splashes the monitor full of multicolor random characters. Not a good start to an install... Anyone had luck? Any changes for PXE boots known for 4.0? Thanks in advance. -Alan

Hi, From the release notes i can read : "Note that the minimum RAM required to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.92 has been raised to 1GB; the recommended RAM is 2GB. If a machine has less than 1GB RAM, the installation process may hang." Is it a joke/mistake ? :-O 1GB !!! I tested installation process with 256M / Celeron 600, seems to work ...) -- Martin

Hi, I've been experiencing occassional network time-outs with the Intel Gigabit nic's (e1000) in Poweredge systems. I'm not sure if it's a hard or software problem but it occurs on different systems with Centos 4.2 and 4.3 and was wondering if there' s a workaround available like compiling an updated e1000 module or something. kind regards, Geert -------------- next part

Can someone point me to instructions on how to build a pxeboot/initrd.img with updated drivers. I would like to pxe boot and install rh8 on a newer machine, and the pxeboot files that come with rh8 (2.4.20-8) don't support my e1000 NIC. I believe that the newer 2.4.20-28.8 drivers will, but I'm having trouble finding instructions in rebuilding the pxeboot initrd.img + vmlinuz to

Hello, Sorry if this mail would have to be post in the development ML, but my problem is just at using centOS.. I'm trying to recompile the centOS-3.1 kernel. I done this: # cd /usr/src/linux-2.4 # make menuconfig < i select my CPU type > < Exit and save > # make dep # make modules (...no errors ...) gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL/include -Wall

Hi I want to recompile some RPMs (my own) for x86_64 arch from my i386 compatible build host (because of hardware restriction/funds).Is anyone ever done this ? After a google search, it seems not so easy... i just found this: http://www.speedblue.org/cross_compilation/ but haven't tried it yet (i would have to convert these to RPM first). How is it done for Centos SRPMS rebuilds ? is it a

Hello, I hope this doesn't bounce again... I'm having trouble passing control of the PXE process from PXELINUX to the FreeBSD "pxeboot" program. I tried invoking "pxeboot" from the PXELINUX "boot:" prompt. This causes an error "Invalid or corrupt kernel image." I named pxeboot "pxeboot.0" and tried invoking pxeboot.0 from the

Hi all, I set up a icecast server 2.3.2 with two shoutcast listeners (port 8000 and port 8002). What I have noticed is , if I have only one "DSP" source that stream to the first listener (on port 8001), audio become available on both listener ? Meaning that a player will open with success on http://myhost:8000/stream or http://myhost:8002/stream with the same audio. With two source,

Hi all, I've searched the depths of the resources on the internet; however I'm having trouble deploying a pxeboot solution via pxelinux. So far what I have successfully implemented in my infrastructure is a successful pxeboot setup for FreeBSD ( without the use of pxelinux ). I'd ultimately like to have a solution that will allow me to choose a network install of various Unix-like

I am using centos 5 x86_64 AMD64 X2 4200+. I am current on yum update. My machine has two ethernet cards. e1000 (eth0) and forcedeth (eth1) [root at fsdsigns2 ~]# more /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 e1000 alias eth1 forcedeth sometimes on boot the forcedeth driver thinks it is eth0: [root at fsdsigns2 ~]# dmesg | grep eth forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver.

Hi Peter et al, Just wanted to let you know my heartfelt appretiation of what you and the other devs have done in integrating gpxe and pxelinux... it works wonderfully well for me... I simply swapped my pxelinux.0 for my gpxelinux.0 and modified my pxelinux.cfg/default to use urls to refer to the kernel and initial ram disk images and it worked perfectly (dns resolution and all). This is a huge

Attempting to PXE boot from the BaseOS/x86_64/kickstart/images/pxeboot/ files results in repeating messages Invalid or corrupt kernel image eventually changing to Could not find kernel image: centos8.2.x86_64/vmlinuz I downloaded the files again, from a different mirror, and they are all the same. Wiped the files and recreated /tftpboot/linux-install/centos8.2.x86_64/. No dice. First mirror

We have been network booting FreeBSD for some time with pxeboot. But now we would like to have menu of OSs to boot and got the idea somewhere that gpxelinux could do that for us. We copied gpxelinux.0 from the syslinux-4.02 distribution and replaced pxeboot with "gpxelinux" in the dhcpd.conf file. Indeed with a configuration file in pxelinux.cfg like this: default freebsd

Is there anyway to set dynamically set dhcp options when chain loading another pxe boot loader? I'm setting up a pxelinux network install server and one operating system I want to support is freebsd. Freebsd has its own pxe loader called pxeboot that you can use. You just have to boot it from tftp and set the root-path dhcp option (option 17) to the location of your nfs server with the

Hello, I just built a complete php suite including php-snmp RPM. (php-snmp-4.3.2-19.ent.i386.rpm). I inspired myself from this bugzilla page: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=123149 can I upload binaries, sources and specfile somewhere to share it with you ? I was thinking about "Extras" repository ? why not ? cya -- Martin

Hi! Some of my centos's servers (poweredge 850/ centos 4.3) are crashing for any reason, and so i wanna get screen (kernel) output afterward. Problem is when the server is crashed and the screen blanked, a keypress doesn't do anything at all. Here it is what i've tried _from a ssh session_ : - setterm -blank 0 and many combinations. - "noacpi" boot option ... Any ideas ?
