I have a strange situation. I am using centos 4.6 i586 with alsa 1.0.17 and asterisk 1.4.21.1 (only the console/dsp or soudn port). running centos 4.6 asterisk will seg fault after awhile. running debian edge with the same installed packages it does not seg fault. running x86_64 centos 4.6 and 5.2 asterisk does not seg fault. What might be going on with centos i586 that it is causing asterisk to

Is there a method to get a 586 (i586 text) install to a 486 level? I am looking for information guidance on this. I have looked into using debian/386 which stinks in my opinion, slackware doesnt quite have it either. So I am wishing/hoping there is a NOT TO painful way to get a 586 install to run on a 486 chip. I have been searching but havent found anything useful. If anyone knows what might

I downloaded the kernel from kernel.org. I did the following: cd /usr/src tar -jxf /tmp/linux-2.6.17.3.tar.bz2 cd linux-2.6.17.3 make menuconfig selected what I needed, saved the new config make bzImage make modules At this point nothing is compiled. All I get is: CHK include/linux/version.h Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST and a command prompt. I did make menuconfig again and it

Is there a script available for upgrade from 4 to 5? I have tried it on one TEST computer following what I thought were the instructions and after the update I still had 2.6.9 kernel not the 2.6.18. I looked in grub.conf and there were no 2.6.18 kernels. Just wonder if someone has automated this process? Thanks, Jerry

I am sending an email from my machine devcentos5x64. the transcript below (hangs for 60 seconds) at the line: MAIL From:<root at devcentos5x64.msgnet.com> SIZE=56 AUTH=root at devcentos5x64.msgnet.com The email succeeds - but I am trying to figure out the 60 second delay.

To continue here with problems on this compaq v2000 laptop, I put kernel source on a USB disk and plugged it into the v2000. NOTHING IS recognized. I tried to manually mount the disk and nothing either... I thought USB was well established.... I thought trying to recompile the kernel for realtek support might get my networking going... I am stuck??? Jerry -------------- next part

I created a i586 install image with qemu. I downloaded the SRPMS package for the kernel and installed it. I cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpmbuild -bp --target i586 kernelXXX.spec I does a bunch of things but it did not build a new kernel and put it in /boot I think I am missing a command to actually BUILD the kernel. What is it? Thanks, Jerry

Hi all, when I do a "grep JERRY *.h" nothing is returned which is what I expect. This is in my source directory... when I do a "grep JERRY *" every file is returned an a line printed even though there is no JERRY on the line.

hi all, running centos 4.7 i686. I seem to have an o pen r elay sendmail server. How do I close it? I have the STRAIGHT centos install sendmail.mc file.

I was just wondering if there are special tricks people do that compile A LOT on centos? Do RAM disks help or something else I dont about that minimizes your compile time? I presently have and AMD x2 4800+ with 2GIG ram. Just curious if I can reduce any more time out of my compiles. Jerry
