I have big problems with this card not working on Centos 5.5 If I run Parted Magic (kernel 2.6.32.11) from CD, then the IT8212F IDE PCI controller is detected OK, and I can access the WD hard drive on the controller, in r/w mode. Running Centos 5.5 I get lots of I/O errors at boot time, and cannot get r/w access to the drive from GParted. Any ideas what's happening, and why Centos 5.5

I'd like to get disk I/O down to a minimum for my new Centos 5.5 installation. The machine will not be used as a web server anymore, as that's now hosted on a cloud platform. So there are no HTTP requests coming down the line. If I move the SWAP partition and /var/log/ to a small spare drive, and install Centos on the new larger drive, is there anything else that would cause disk

I have been following the MaximumRPM guide from here: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/index.html and it seems a bit dated, but still very good (if fact the best all round documentation I have found so far) on using RPM package manager, and how to build rpm packages. The guide tells me to use the original paths, yet Centos wiki says otherwise. [rpmbuilder at karsites sox]$ rpm -iv

I'm on Centos 5.5, and would like to use sox to strip out any periods of silence > 5 seconds from a batch mp3 audio files. Googling I found sox, but it does not seem to support mp3 files by default. The man page says: .mp3 MP3 Compressed Audio MP3 audio files come from the MPEG standards for audio and video compression. They are a lossy compression format that achieves

Thanks Keith for the pointers on icecast and ices-cc installation how-to. I followed the instructions and completed the two installations in no time. Once, the two programs are installed on CentOS, what's next. Lend a guiding hand to an eager newbie. And keep those straight guidelines coming, please.

I went a few directories up and found the 64 bit version. Thanks Keith. much appreciated! I have this working great now, I'm just struggling to find an init script for ices.

Hi list. I have rebuilt tcptrack now. You can get it from here: http://www.karsites.net/centos/downloads/5.5/tcptrack-1.3.0-1.el5.i386.rpm It's not signed, so to install it with yum as root user, do: # yum localinstall --nogpgcheck tcptrack-1.3.0-1.el5.i386.rpm in the directory you d/l it to.

On Centos 5.5, is there a way to skip the countdown screen 'booting xyz OS in x seconds', and make GRUB show the menu of all the bootable OSes, and just stop there?

Just a quick note to say that I have moved all my websites to a cloud platform with 99.99% uptime. So I apologise if anyone has been trying to get to the Kickstart User Guide and other Centos bits on my website. My home server is being worked on, and I'll just use that for development purposes from now on. Then I hope to finish my tutorial on installing Eclipse Helios for Centos 5.5

I have run one full test and got no errors on the memory module. Is it worth keeping it running overnight, just to see if temperature changes will afect the test?

Hi All. Yesterday I was installing Centos 5.5 to my web server, and it looks like the main hard drive has gone AWOL. Fedora 12 put the file system into r/o mode. The drive is an Hitachi, still under warranty. There are bad sectors on it, and running the Hitachi DFT tool confirms this. Also I cannot repair the bad sectors. Would this be caused by a faulty I/O chip, or is it safe to say

There was a similar thread about which is the best FS for Centos. I'm using ext3, and wondered if XFS would be more 'data safe' than ext3. I had a 100GiB ext3 partition, and it took up 1.75GiB for FS administration purposes. I reformatted it to XFS, and it only used 50.8MB! I now have a fresh new drive to install my root Centos system onto, and wondered about creating the

Hi, and a Happy New Year to everyone. I have followed this tutorial to install icecast on Centos 5.5, http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_webradio_with_icecast2_ices2 but cannot find the ices package for sending the audio to icecast for it to stream. I would like to send the data as mp3, if there is a suitable program to do this. Has anyone on the list done this on Centos? Kind Regards,

Hi Keith, As I explained before, Valgrind won't run in my arch. I'll Google for some other memory leak detection tools, however.

My box did upgrade itself automatically from the initial 5.5 DVD installation to 5.7 How can I tell if my box has been automatically upgraded from 5.7 to 5.8 please? I see the CentOS-CR.repo is still in my /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. Is that repo responsible for doing the automatic upgrades for Centos 5.x? Kind Regards, Keith Roberts

I've just updated my 5.8 box and there's a new kernel to be installed.
