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

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,

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.

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

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

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

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:

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

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.

Hi all, after an uprade to new kernel 2.4.21-15.0.4.EL on my server appears a lot of these messages: EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,17)): ext3_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 19268224 EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,17)): ext3_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 19268225 EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,17)): ext3_free_blocks: bit already cleared for block 19268226 I try to rebuild array but

I'm trying to do a fresh install on a new server that has a 3ware 9000 controller. I followed the instructions on the 3ware manual and used a floppy with the drivers for RH WS3 (Update 2) but it doesn't work. After it asks me to load the disk it reads for a while and then it says it did not find any drivers that pertain to this system. I tried loading the 3w9xxx driver unsuccesfully, it

Hi I have tried to install Centos v3.3 with a PRomise SX4000Lite IDE RAID controller but without success. Can anyone give me a hint why ??? this is the first time that I use something besides what's included in the kernel.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Greetings folks, I'm currently redoing my home server as one of the hard drives in my RAID-1 array went down and I'm going to replace the lot of it with a 3Ware Escalade 9500S RAID capable card and four Seagate 200GB SATA drives. These drives are supposedly the coolest and quietest SATA drives available (better than the Maxtors I had anyway)

My goal is to be able to install to the drive array on the 3Ware controller card. 3Ware does provide a RH WS 3 driver that I've tried to use; however, the RH Enterprise 3 WS driver doesn't work since that kernel is older than the CentOS-3.1 install kernel. I'm trying to create a centOS-3.1 installation driver disk for the 3ware 9500S card; however, I'm not having much luck.

Hi gurus, I like zpool iostat and I like system monitoring, so I setup a script within sma to let me get the zpool iostat figures through snmp. The problem is that as zpool iostat is only run once for each snmp query, it always reports a static set of figures, like so: root at exodus:snmp # zpool iostat -v capacity operations bandwidth pool used avail read

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

In regard of the e-mail sent on Jul/16/04 about the 3Ware 9500S. Has anyone experienced/solved this issue ?? I'm having a similar problem, I already have the system installed on a separate disk, now I want to make the filesystem on the RAID partition (using 3Ware 9500S-8). First I had the problem that the card will keep resetting after continous timeouts whenever I tried loading the
