Hi, I have updated the kernel to 2.4.21-27.0.2 on Centos 3.4 (was 3.3 when I did the kernel update) and have modified grub.conf to use the single CPU kernel: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. #

centos-yumconf has been updated to include (but disable) all optional centos repositories. This would allow a user to update / install from an optional repository without needing to modify the configuration files. Example: If you wanted to install a package named foo from the optional repositry named centosplus, you would use the following command: yum --enablerepo=centosplus install foo see

Has anyone sucessfull update the kernel 2.4 to 2.6 on a centos server? If yes how? And what is important to now for the update.

Can you upgrade RH9 to Centos, or do you have to do a complete install? Is there an iso with a .ks file on it to do a remote install?

Greetings, I've got 4 Redhat-9 servers in a production environment and I don't feel like moving to RHEL. So I'm testing CentOS-3.1 now. So far so good. I'd like to get these servers moved over in the next month or so to a better "supported" OS. Are there any issues I should be aware of in upgrades these RH-9 boxes? Should I be able to just stick in the Centos-3.1

Saw on Slashdot there are a few vulnerabilities with PHP. Do these vulnerabilities affect the PHP that's installed? If so, is RedHat going to backport or should I go ahead and grab from source?

I work for a small company, and we're running CentOS on our servers. We are looking to possibly move our most critical servers to RHEL. We currently use apt to deploy software upgrades to our servers. I have a question about RHEL subscriptions that they don't seem to be able to answer for me. If you have an RHEL subscription, do you have access to manually download the RPMs? We

Does anyone have concern about this? What if Redhat stops giving SRPMS for new releases and updates in public? If you buy a subscription to RHEL AS and they have to give you the SRPMS because of GPL agreement can that person provide those SRPMS to public again because of GPL? They claim they are premium OpenSource company but they are still a company and for them money is bottom line.

I just installed a fresh 3.3 system (because those are the ISO's I had on hand). Upon running yum update, it starts to download headers and then stalls. I hit Ctl-C and it continues to download about 4-5 more headers and stalls. I hit Ctl-C again and it pulls a few more headers. Anyone seen this and/or know how to fix it? TIA Mike

There is a new updated kernel for centos 3.1 that fixes a security issue. As I have not had time to test this build I am releasing it for testing for 24 hours to pick up any problems before general release. It is available at :- http://caos2.caosity.org:/centos/3.1/updates/i386/RPMS/ The version is 2.4.21-15.0.2.el.c0 Please install and test these packages, they are as yet unsigned and not

Anyone know if there is an ETA for RHEL4 U1 yet? There are a couple of important postgresql selinux fixes that haven't been prereleased for x86_64 that I'm after. Cheers, Gavin

Just idle curiosity. I've always been fond of the simple hddtemp utility. I tried 'yum install hddtemp' (I have dag in my repos), but it was not found. Google found it on '/pub/dag/dries/packages...'. So I downloaded it, installed (Centos4), and it works just fine. Just wondering why it's not in the dag el4 repo? -- Collins When I saw the Iraqi people voting

Has any one tried to upgrade from RHAS/RHEL 2.1 to CentOS-3 using yum? Is a reboot necessary for anything other than the kernel? How smoothly did it go?

I've been Googling on this all day, installing GPG Keys, and trying different yum configurations. I noticed a similar question in the list a couple of months ago about going from RHEL to Centos-3, but the answer wasn't definitive. Has anyone done this? Can this be done? Can it be done with yum? If so, how? When I 'yum update' I get /usr/bin/yum, yummain.main, yummain.py,

as there were many reports of broken packages, and kernel panics on Taroon mail list Kind Regards. A. Georgiev

Please excuse my ignorance, since I have not used any RedHat (enterprise or otherwise) until Fedora FC3 (a few weeks) and now CentOS4 (permanently). I keep finding references to Un (I believe it's up to U5 now) in references to bugfixes, etc for RHEL. I presume (?) these are dot releases after the initial release? Is there anything equivalent for CentOS, or is this RedHat only behavior? TIA,
