similar to: Replacing custom kernel with another - with same identifier

Hi all, I am a newcomer to CentOS but slightly less so to Linux in general (FC4-F9). In short, I am trying to make an old SB Vibra 16C (ISA) sound card work in Centos 5. To achieve this, support for ISA bus and ISA PnP is apparently needed in kernel. Therefore, a custom kernel needs to be built. -- Yes, I have read all the warnings of lack of support, etc. As a first step, I had to build the

Hi all! It's great to start with "for dummies" question, but hey, we all have been human infants also =) Problem is, that I can not log on to this channel and I haven't found anything helpful during the past few days either. 1. The irc.freenode.net server gives me "Couldn't look up your hostname" and "No identd (auth) response" followed with

Hi, Is there some know problem between the 'scp' client in OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 and F-Secure's SSH 2.4.0 server? The client is running on a Linux (2.2.17) box and server is running on Win2K. When I try to transfer files it asks me for the password (which I provide) then it hangs. Using 'scp -v' didn't provide any helpful info; it's as though the problem happened before

Dear colleagues in R, Has anybody implemented the 1) (Goodman & Kruskal) lambda or the 2) (Thiel's) uncertainty coefficient statistics (in the asymmetric and symmetric forms), or is anyone aware that they might reside in some package? A search in the R archives does indicate that they are (somehow) part of the CoCo package, but I would rather not start learning how to transform my

Hi, I've made mysqlf a RPM and installed it. After that i did what i shouldn' do: remove the files it installed. Now, i wnat to install it agai and i can't. Already rebuilt the rpm database ( rpm -vv --rebuilddb), used --force, --replacepkgs, --replacefiles, --justdb, --erase, --initdb, but no good. Been at rpm.org, but found nothing that i already know. Any help would be

Hello, My installation of clamav is hosed up. It won't start due to a malformed database. I ran freshclam and updated the database but still have the problem. I was going to uninstall clamav but there are other app dependencies. Virtualmin is one. How can I do an uninstall/re-install without hosing more stuff up? I have found some examples, --nodeps, --replacepkgs and

Hi, I'd like to use a flash drive as a journal device, with the purpose of keeping the main disk drive spun down as long as possible. I have a couple of questions: 1) Does the journaling code spread write accesses to the journal device evenly, as I hope, or are there blocks that are particularly "hot"? I.e., do I have to worry about the flash device dying quickly because of

Hi, Could you please explain the :limit to me? I thought I knew what it was but now it seems I''ve misunderstood something. >> Fooditem.find_by_contents("*quark*", {:limit => 10}, {:conditions => ["origin = ?", "fda"]}).length => 1 >> Fooditem.find_by_contents("*quark*", {:limit => 2000000}, {:conditions => ["origin

Dear colleages in R, I have earlier been working with R in Linux, where reading in a table containing Scandinavian letters ("?", "?", and "?") in the header as part of variable names has not caused any problem whatsoever. However, when trying to do the same in R running on new MacOS-X (with an Intel processor) with the same original text table does not seem to

The article on BMA (Bayesian model averaging) presents most valuable tools for model selection, but I find one detail confusing in Example 1. In page 4 of RNews 5/2, second paragraph says that the probability of Time variable not being in the model is 0.445. It seems to me that the figure should be 1 - 0.445 = 0.555, because p!=0.445 is the prob. of Time variable being in the model. The plot in

Hello, As part of testing an alternative module I saved the original module and copied the test one in. The test was done and I put the original module back. Now the original module is not loading at startup and doing it manually I get the error WARNING: Error inserting {Module name & path } Required key not available. And in /var/log/messages shortly after boot I can see kernel:

Hi, I'm having problems with setting up my ISA LineJack card on Linux machine... I've done everithing according to documentation available, by compiling the new ixj driver (v1.2.1), loading it, adding device node /dev/phone0 with major number 100 and minor number 0, adding aliases into the /etc/modules.conf: alias char-major-100 phonedev alias char-major-100-0 ixj and running depmod

I'm trying to do an update to some servers... and they have both i386 and x86_64 perl. The latter won't update, because the idiotic *man pages* are dups. Is there *any* way, short of using rpm directly with a --force, to get yum to ignore the dups and do the update? And why does *anyone* make it so that a dup manpage is a reason to fail (and don't tell me they do it generically for

Hi all, among other things, we provide shell access to various unix based platforms for our students and university staff. Recently, there has been increasing number of root login attacks on one particular Tru64 machine running OpenSSH. The host is configured with "PermitRootLogin no" but every once in a while SIA auth with TCB enhanced security locks the root account. I suppose

Hi, Rails 1.2.2 Ruby 1.8.5 Ferret 0.11.4 I have pretty big forum that has 2 columns that are indexed, in addition to this couple more tables with far less data are indexed. It seems that first index update works. Mysqld process takes the idle CPU time, but behaves nicely.. until at some point it takes 99% and doesn''t let other processes use it :) I''m forced to restart mysqld.

Hello everyone, I have estimated system of three linear equations with one non-linear restrictions with nlsystemfit. I was wondering how I can calculate the R-squared (or some alternative coefficient of determination) for the whole system. This is automatically given by linear systemfit but not by nlsystemfit. I can get the values for each of the equations separately, but apparently not for

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I can't seem to be able to get any sound out of my CentOS 3.8 laptop. I have the ESS ES1878 chip in it. It can work in either native mode, or in SoundBlaster compatible mode. Neither is detected by CentOS 3.8. I've looked at the directory with kernel drivers, and there doesn't seem to be any kernel module that smells like either

Hello, about a year ago I ran into situation where there's a "metadirectory" containing directories and symlinks to files. There was a need to mirror the contents of files and directories gathered via symlinks to this metadirectory, regular mirroring of the tree wouldn't do any good. The attached patch gives the user ability to define how many symbolic links rsync should follow
