similar to: DVD reader: Hardware problem or OS glitch?

I wrote a bunch of files to a backup DVD about two months ago and now neither of my drives will read it. I get mount errors from "not a directory" to something like "unrecognized file system type" and so on, usually after a really long wait and a notice about how the drive is write-protected (duh). Here's what happened most recently: # mount /dev/hdc /mnt mount: block

I have a simple automount configuration problem. I've done two similar, clean, Custom installations of CentOS 5.0, on two similar, but not identical boxes. On my box, automount is working perfectly. On my daughter's box, it's not working. If I put the FC6 DVD into the drive in my box, I can see the contents of the DVD, without any problem. If I cat /etc/mtab in my box, I see this line:

Over the weekend, I had to make a technical support call on one of my DVD burners, and at one point the recorded message mentioned I should have my serial number handy. I thought there was a way to read that from at least one piece of software on the system, but I couldn't remember one and man -k on a number of subjects was unrevealing. Can someone enlighten me (us)? Thanks. mhr

Hello, Sorry to sound like a bad record, but I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting "Bad gzip magic numbers" errors when ISOlinux is trying to inflate the kernel. Right now I'm clueless as to what's wrong. I've tried various kernels compiled on a few different platforms. Has anyone ever seen this before? ANyone know where a better forum to ask this question

Is there an RPM for this? I think it's in the kdeedu package on the FC6 DVD. My wife is an amateur astronomer and she uses this excellent program. If upstream isn't including it, can I get it and not break my CentOS 4.4 system? (Also, I'd like to migrate her and my daughter to CentOS). TIA, Lanny

The latest CentOS 5 kernel, 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 broke my box and I had to drop back to 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 before I could play DVDs with either Xine or mplayer. ( xine-0.99.5-1.el5.rf & mplayer-1.0-0.36.rc1try2.el5.rf ). This is no big deal to me -- as long as I can make certain that the older kernel doesn't go away. If I understand the installonly plugin correctly, an entry of tokeep=4 in

It doesn't appear to be using any kernel modules. I would have expected to see output such as this: supermin: internal insmod virtio.ko It seems as if you might not be setting SUPERMIN_MODULES; or maybe you

The options -x -v gave me an error that no such option so I ruined it with —debug option. root@ny2proxd03:/var/lib/vz/images/100# virt-resize --expand /dev/sda3 vm-100-disk-1.qcow2 vm-100-disk-1.qcow2.resized --debug command line: virt-resize --expand /dev/sda3 vm-100-disk-1.qcow2 vm-100-disk-1.qcow2.resized --debug Examining vm-100-disk-1.qcow2 ... libguestfs: trace: add_drive

Unfortunately, placing the link into the /boot does not work. libguestfs-test-tool failes with the same message: ************************************************************ * IMPORTANT NOTICE * * When reporting bugs, include the COMPLETE, UNEDITED * output below in your bug report. *

I just used a Live CD for the first time today, in part to show what CentOS can do for a co-worker who is looking at using it at work and home, but I got the strangest result. We booted the CD and let the centos user log in. It took a really long time to load the desktop and there were no panels, so the only things we could do were browse the computer, CD, home, file system, keyboard (sort of)

Booting from the CentOS 5.2 Installation DVD (or the first Installation CD), one can type "linux rescue" and then "chroot /mnt/sysimage" and have full root access to the OS on the HD. For future reference, I would like to know what I did wrong, the past couple of days, when trying to use the CentOS 5.2 i386 Live CD, for rescue. From a terminal, "su -" did not seem to

Hi, Was anyone able to run Solaris 10 10/08 as guest under a HVM domU Debian Etch (xen 3.0.3-1) or current Debian Lenny (xen 3.2-1)? In my case Solaris installation stops after boot kernel ; I can''t see anyhing after grub screen. I know that it is possible using Xen 3.3 (see [1]) but I don''t know if it possible with a previous Xen version Thanks, Álvaro [1]
