similar to: Windows XP fixmbr from Centos?

Hi all, I'd like to deploy a solution with dual-booting systems where CentOS 5.3 is already installed and WinXP will be installed to a separate disk. I found http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm?page=1 and it seems straight forward enough, although the description is for Ubuntu. The problem as I see it, is that the how-to differs from how

Oh, Boy. I am in trouble now.... I just installed Centos on a USB drive on my corp notebook. To not TOUCH my corp drive. I spent time with the drive partitioner to make sure that nothing was done to the internal hard drive... Well I missed something and I overwrote the encrypted bootloader on the hard drive. Now what? Can I rescue things? I am leaving for my flight in a couple hours to

Hi, I have this dual boot Vista-CentOS. I have one NTFS for Vista, and three for CentOS. I boot to both OS through grub. Unfortunately, I'm going to need the CentOS space for Vista :( :( :( So my question is: if I remove the CentOS partitions *from within Vista* with its tool for it, will I be able to still boot Vista ? Is grub going to disappear ? If so, will Vista replace it for its

Hi all, I'm trying to get a pxeboot server up and running, according to the instructions on the WIKI (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup & http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup/Menus) Here's my /tftpboot/pxepxelinux.cfg/default : default menu.c32 prompt 1 timeout 300 ONTIMEOUT local MENU TITLE PXE Menu label Dos Bootdisk MENU LABEL ^Dos bootdisk

Hi, I've made several attempts to boot syslinux from the harddisk. I have a win 98 startdiskette with syslinux and copybs. I strictly follow the procedure in the syslinux documentation. Yet, the result of the boot is not that linux is starting. Instead, the Microsoft windows screen flashes for a couple of seconds and is then replaced by a Dos prompt. Syslinux is V2.04. The PC is an IBM Aptiva

Hello I'm willing to change my dedicated server hosting provider, and transfer my existing server to the new one. I don't have kvm access, but both servers are centos5.2 I can boot a network image that is debian based and have access to the disk. Then I tried to rsync -a my first server to the destination host, but it was not reachable from the network (I modified /etc/fstab and

Last night my rsync got some 'new' files for the base repo and new repodata. This morning, I set a server to upgrade from 5 to 5.1 by setting it to access my local base and updates repos. I got the following error: Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Downloading header for openssh-clients to pack into transaction set.

How can I find out what variables and their values were provided by a dhcpd server to my client? I thought perhaps /etc/dhclient-eth1.conf, but that is not the place...

Hi, is there an easy way to circumvent the SYSLINUX novice protection thing? intended users don't know about CTRL key to circumvent it. I'm trying to make a generic bootdisk for systems of 8086 - Pentium4. however the bootdisk is slow, so I'd like to use Syslinux + Memdisk to load a diskette image. then the text displayed to user will be: 1) FreeDOS bootdisk (accelerated, 386

Hi there, I am using memdisk with pxelinux, i have created ms-dos boot disk from windows xp, but when i boot from it stops on starting.... what is the problem can anybody tell me.. Regards, Yogesh

I am switching the box that I did the HIPL rpm builds over to running from rpms built directly by the HIPL team (http://infrahip.hiit.fi/hipl/release/1.0.4/). I did the 'make uninstall' and then 'yum install hipl-all', but the hipl-firewall rpm did not install. Seems like I have a mess on my system with the various hipfw files. I 'manually' deleted a bunch of them

I have a Centos server that is running BIND and has IPv6 global addresses. I have entered a number of AAAA records into this copy of BIND in a local view and zone (tld is htt). Over IPv4, I have no trouble with nslookup ('nslookup - 127.0.0.1' and 'nslookup - 192.168.128.55'). I get the AAAA records back. But if I try to use the IPv6 address of the system I get a time out.

On one notebook (so far), I have not picked up the new kernel: kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.i686.rpm I have gotten it on some notebooks. So far the only difference I can see between the systems that MIGHT matter is those that got the update were new installs and had not reached 3 installed kernels. The one that failed already had 3 kernels in /boot. But I seem to recall this was about how

I''m trying to get DHCP working with DomU clients. I don''t want to use libvirtd. There''s a dhcpd on the machine and it works fine for all clients in the network, but not for DomUs. If I set a static IP on the DomU all networking for them is fine, so there''s no general networking problem. I use the xen 3.2 packages for CentOS on CentOS 5.1. There was a public

I have successfully built an install CD following the instructions at: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/VncHeadlessInstall Now I am trying to do the same with FC10 and I am failing in two ways. I have tried to find a similar howto for even FC9, but have not found the right google magic. The first problem should be small. When I set isolinux.cfg to start with: prompt 1 timeout 0 I

My first notebook upgrade: I repaired my old HP nc4010 (bought a new hinge on ebay) and realized this was the perfect way to test out the upgrade to 5.2 before doing it on my production notebook. First I updated to 'current' 5.1 (by current I mean I have not synced my 5.1 local repo since building my 5.2 repo). I had not used my nc4010 for a while and the kernel was at

Hallo, I try to boot the windows 98 bootdisk via memdisk. It doesn't work completely. Booting a freedos FD image works, booting the windows 98 image works too. But the windows 98 boot disk then should extract the file "ebd.cab" with the file "extract.com", and that step fails. Is that a syslinux problem or a windows problem? Viele Gruesse! Helmut

Hi, I want to use PXELINUX to load a DOS disk image which I currently use for Win2K/XP unattended installs. I want to move away from reliance on specific NDIS2 drivers and use the 3Com UNDIS3C driver instead. I have used this successfully to start the MSClient, but the problem is that the UNDI and PXE layer take about 90K of base memory, which means that WINNT.EXE has insufficent memory to run

I am fairly new to xen and am trying to build a new guest using virt-manager. When I get to the screen where you can choose virtual or shared physical device there are no physical devices to choose from. Is there some step that I have missed while setting up my Dom0? -Joel Coopersmith Sr. Systems and Networking Analyst joel.coopersmith@accenture.com
