similar to: changing installed kernel from i386 to i686

I tried install 4.4 on an old Via 800mhz box. i386 of course. The installer dies pretty quick. I thought the via was i386 compatible? Is there something special to do. Jerry

minor error on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel?highlight=%28HowTos%29 the rpmbuild steps specifies kernel.spec, when in fact the filename is kernel-2.6.spec, at least with 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL this occurs a BUNCH of times on that wiki page... also kernel2.6.9 -> kernel-2.6.9 on the cp command after 'configuring your kernel'

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

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. Neither email server is busy. Nothing is waiting. the DNS on both machines point to the same nameserver. The DNS

What version of centos supported the i386 and i486 at install time? perhaps even a version that ran with math emulation? Jerry

I just installed a KVM guest, centos 6.2 i686 (6.2 x86_64 host) and the network module is loaded . The modules is/are 8139too,8139cp is what lsmod shows. Dmesg shows link up but ifconfig does not give me an address? service network restart shows OK no errors but again no address. I set the ifcfg-eth0 file to not be NM controlled, onboot yes and rebooted. Same no address. I run 5.8 images all

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 was installing centos 5.3 x86_64 on a sempron 2.7G machine with 512M ram. The install started off fine then REALLY SLOWED down about 70% into install. I did have a swap space. after that it just crawled. I tried restart the install a couple times at 512M. Same thing around 70% the slow down. I then put in 1G of RAM and everything zipped on past and finished fine. Does 5.3 have minimum

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 trying to hwclock to set the time. (hwclock -w) this is what I get on standard 5.2 x86_64. hwclock --debug hwclock from util-linux-2.13-pre7 hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=19: No such device. No usable clock interface found.

I am trying to use cut to tell me the suffix of a file. for example: echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f 1- I was expecting to get .log or log but I get the entire string echoed back. doing the opposite gave me what I expected: echo /home/silentm/log/file.machine.log | cut -d . -f 1 gives me /home/silentm/log/file I am trying to find a way to test if the file ends in .log?

I am trying to plug a USB 2 device in a USB 3 slot. Nothing is being detected in "lsusb". Is there something special I need to do? I am running centos 5.5 x86_64. I thought 3.0 was backward compatible. Nothing special about my device its an RS232 to USB device. It works in 2.0 slot. Thanks, Jerry

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. Only thing I changed was: dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl so as to allow incoming email and not just localhost. however this seems to relay everyone. I looked at http://www.sendmail.org/tips/relaying but it

How can I stop it? I run "netconfig -d eth1" and re-setup my static information. I reboot and now I am back to DHCP. I have a gigabyte motherboard, nvidia chipset. forcedeth driver. eth0 is e1000.

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 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
