similar to: linux rescue - complete list of utilities and commands?

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

Updated to CentOS 7.4 No wifi. The wifi was using wl-something driver that had third party firmware but it wasn't seen. Attempted to get network with ethernet from the mobo to router but it wouldn't come up. So I rebuilt the wl-whatever kernel module and installed the updated version built against the newer kernel. Now when attempting to boot it gets stuck at "i8042 no

I boot from the installation DVD, with an already existing CentOS 5.5 system on my hard disks. I have separate boot, root, and home partitions. I have moved the boot partition and now I need to re-initialize grub from rescue mode. Attempting to use 'rescue mode" to automatically mount my system under /mnt/sysimage eventally fails with an error message, which essentially says

Hello all, I just installed a new beta kernel from Dzickus over at redhat.

Dear All My CentOS server got file system inconsistency , asking for "type Ctrl-D for normal boot or give root password for maintenance to run fsck manually". I tried for manually run fsck , as the followings : #fsck -s /dev/hda3 But after rebooting the server it will come back again at the similar prompt asking for "give root password for maintenance" . Can you please do me

Booting to CentOS 5.5 works and I am able to login with all my devices mounted. When I boot from the install DVD and type "linux rescue" I eventually get the message, after attempting to have one of the screens mount my partitions in read/write mode: "An error occurred trying to mount some or all of your system. Some of it may be mounted under /mnt/sysimage." But nothing

If I boot C5 from DVD in rescue mode, chroot to /mnt/sysimage, and try to do a grub-install /dev/sda it will fail because the /dev folder is empty (in the chroot environment). Until now I've then created the missing nodes manually, but is there a smarter way of doing this? Some devfs that needs to be mounted on top of /dev?

Let me see if I can, um, reboot this thread.... I made a RAID 1 of two raw disks, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, *not* /dev/sdax /dev/sdbx. Then I installed CentOS 7 on the RAID, with /boot, /, and swap being partitions on the RAID. My problem is that grub2-install absolutely and resolutely refuses to install on /dev/sda or /dev/sdb. I've currently got it up in a half-assed rescue mode, and have

Dropbox has an RPM for Fedora Core 9 (x86). I am running CentOS 5.4 on my Desktop, which I believe is based on Fedora Core 6. Are the libraries Fedora Core 9 uses substantially different than those CentOS 5.4 uses? If Dropbox had an SRPM available, I would Download that and Rebuild, but I'm sure it is Proprietary and they won't release an SRPM to me. TIA! Lanny

I have a 2.9 MB MP3 file. Would like to use about the first 10%, to embed sound on a web page. The Packages I have in Applications > Sound & Video don't seem to be able to edit the file like that. Is there a Package I can get from a Yum Repository that will do that? Using CentOS 5.5 (32 bit). TIA!
