similar to: problem installing CentOS 5.3

While I know that, technically, the only i586 machines are the Pentium and Pentium MMX, it is still nice that I can use some headless AMD K6/2 machines I have lying around for CentOS 4. Many thanks for the effort expended to get that working. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu

I'm in the process of setting up CentOS 4.3 on an old 400MHz K6 and found that the system hangs within several seconds of starting haldaemon. With haldaemon disabled, everything seems to work. >From what I've read, disabling haldaemon isn't a problem, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else has seen similar problems or if anyone had any troubleshooting tips. I found a similar

Hi This patch fixes code generation bug - 586-class CPUs don't support the nopl instruction and some 686-class CPUs don't support it too. I created bug 17792 for that. BTW. I think you should also optimize padding on these CPUs - instead of a stream of 0x90 nops, you should generate variants of "lea (%esi), %esi" instruction like gcc. This patch disables generation of

Sorry for being a bit of a newbie here but I find the docs or README for downloading the G.729 codec from Digium are not as detailed as I would like or just don't really break down the different versions to a point that I am clear on which one to grab. The choices for 32bit are: drwxr-xr-x 3 0 0 4096 Dec 05 00:21 athlon-xp drwxr-xr-x 3 0 0 4096 Dec

I am running CentOS 5.3 and have just the two accounts "root" and "buz". I would like to be able to issue "shutdown" from the account "buz", and thus created /etc/shutdown.allow with the single entry "buz" (without any quotes). I still get the error message "only root can do this" (or something similar) even if I include the

Please include a testcase with the patch. gas uses " nopl 0x0(%eax)" for k6_2. Are you sure it is a gas bug?

Hi, i'm trying to install a compatible modem to act as a X100P, and i would appreciate some help here, this is what is hapening when i modprobe zaptel: # modprobe zaptel FATAL: Error inserting zaptel (/lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdk-i586-up-1GB/misc/zaptel.ko): Invalid module format firstly, i did: 'make clean' then 'make linux26' and then 'make install' into zaptel

I've updated CentOS 4.0 to 4.1 on several machines (some desktops, some servers). However on my laptop, update is failing with following error just after headers are downloaded: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2 for package: glibc --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2 is needed by package

I've downloaded CentOS, baked CDs and start installing it on one old 450MHz AMD K6 based box with 392MB of RAM. To my regret, CentOS refused to load (to be installed). The message on the screen was something along this line: "Your architecture is not supported" I am sure that this is NOT CentoOS fault. It seems to me that RH does NOT support K6 CPU. Is my statement (conclusion)

Hi all I would like to install the minimal level of Centos, with yum & selinux on my servers during the basic install from CD with Anaconda and then use yum to install whatever application is major on that server, so that yum installs its dependencies only, thus keeping to the target of installing only what is needed on a server. Please advise pros/cons of this approach and how to do it. I

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

Just when I thought I couldn't be wrong, I was wrong. We have woodpeckers that drill into the arial telephone cables, and water seeps through the holes and partially grounds the tip and/or ring wires causing hum. I thought the hum/buz on my lines was a telco problem. The Qwest HQ noise team assures me that my lines are within spec. Sure enough, when I listen on the test set the lines

Folks, As much as I hate to, I feel I need to post my long story and ask help. Shortly after the release announcement, I kicked off rtorrent and downloaded the CD and DVD images. Since my cable provider does my "throttling", I disabled throttling and shared for several days, "returning" several GBs at no objectionable loss I could discern. While that was going on, I used

I am running CntOS 5 with Gnome. Every now and then I have noticed that the computer will somehow get the time wrong by several hours. Is there a simple way to adjust the time? So far the only way I have found is to boot into windows (it is a dual boot system), make the change there, and then get back into CentOS. Older versions of Red Hat and Fedora let you do it by right-clicking on

Hello All! My 1st use of CentOS went well on my later eqpt. Thanks and congrats on a good product. Figured I might as well see if I could use it on some old stuff, still good but obsolete. Picked an AMD 5x86 (equivalent to a Pentium 75 MHz) and decided to see if I could make it my gateway/router. Had some difficulties, not unexpected. Old CD drive couldn't read the CDs. No boot from CD

Just a thought If the I386 (or i686, never could figure out why the name change) disk doesn't quite fit on the DVD+, and needs a DVD-, this might put some folks at an inconvenience. I wonder if the difference between fitting and not fitting is small enough, so that some amount of pruning might make it fit on the DVD+R image. Some ways to prune could be: a) Create two versions of the

Hi. I'm using Debian. Is this a Redhat-only list, or is it only hosted by RedHat? I recently changed my filing systems over to ext3, but deliberately left the forced boot check parameters alone so my system checks after 20 mounts. I notice that the fsck takes a good ten times longer than under ext2, to perform the cleanly unmounted check. (On the occasion where I did unmount dirtily, the

I need a program that will just run everything at max so I can measure the max power used on some systems. My 'Kill a Watt' meter should show up early next week. SO run that CPU at max, using all memory, and keeping the harddrive spinning. I can jsut do pings on the lan card for it to stay awake. I have searched here and on the net and have come back with nothing.
