similar to: RAID support in kernel?

Have a quad core workstation that was running WinXP_64 that I want to blow away and install CentOS 6. C6 install process finds raid metadata associated with sda and sdb, and then excludes them from the rest of the installation process. There doesn't appear to be an option for disassembling the raid as part of the install process. I think there should be. Any tricks to removing/by-passing

Hello. I burned a CD with the 5.2 netinstall iso, and installed it onto a laptop (Acer Aspire 3680). Note that I'm *totally* new to laptops. The install went fine. But, when I boot it, it errors at the user login. A screen comes up, stating that X11 cannot start, and that it's probably the mouse. A bit of investigating revealed that there is no Synaptics module installed. It will

I just installed 5.3 on a tower box. When I plug in a usb flash drive, the machine crashes. I don't know how to diagnose the problem; I used gnome-system-log, and got this (watching it as I plugged it in): Apr 12 16:43:25 ga7zx kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Apr 12 16:43:25 ga7zx kernel: usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Apr 12 16:43:27

I saved pictures on an SD card with my Nokia phone (1 GB). Now, I'm trying to use the card on my Acer Aspire 3680 (laptop) running 5.3 and gnome. Popping the card in (until it clicks) evokes nothing from the system log or dmesg, and I don't see anything relevant in /dev. (What is the device for this?) lspci has this entry: 0a:09.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1

Hello. Package Manager reports (with a green checkmark) that I have java-1.6.0 installed on my machine (running Cent 5.3), but it seems to not be running. I used http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml and got "Something is wrong. Java is not working." Perhaps I'm confused on which program I need to use java-coded apps. PM lists this app as "OpenJDK Runtime

I'm teaching myself about ethernet cards, and found a TLDP page. I have CentOS 5.3. In this section: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.4 in the 'Driver as module' subsection, regarding PCI cards, it states that there should be a directory "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/net" [mykolas at sr1220 ~]$ uname -r 2.6.18-128.1.16.el5 [mykolas at sr1220

I should mention that I'm a total newbie with keyrings! I tried searching for help sites - found 1, but I still have a problem. If there is a website (or sites) that explain this, please post it (them)! Ok, so I have a laptop with wifi, running CentOS 5.2. When I boot it, it finds the nearby wifi signals, and tries to connect to mine. To do this, it puts up a window to get my default

I installed CentOS 5.3 on a desktop box, and I'm having a problem with the splash screen resolution (during bootup). I suppose that it somehow got configged when I set the GUI's screen (I run in level 5). I think that, in finding the highest res for the GUI, I went past the monitor's capability. But it's good now. During boot, I get a funny 'double' display (2 pointers, 2

Hello. I just fresh-installed 5.3 onto my laptop, and I have a problem trying to get wifi working. Be aware that I have 5.2 on it, and did the same process, and it worked great! I'm using http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WirelessAR5007EG -- as I did for 5.2. The problem arises in section 6: [mpk at a3680 madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3968-20090402]$ make /bin/sh: line 0: cd:

I have had great luck with nvidia fakeraid on RAID1, but I see there are preferences for software raid. I have very little hands on with full Linux software RAID and that was about 14 years ago. I am trying to determine which to use on a rebuild in a "standard" CentOS/Xen enviroment. It seems to me that while FakeRaid is/can be completely taken care of in dom0 dmraid whereas with

I have been having some problems with hardware RAID 1 on the motherboard that I am running CentOS 7 on. After a BIOS upgrade of the system, I lost the RAID 1 setup and was no longer able to boot the system. Testdisk revealed that the partition tables had been damaged and because I had earlier saved information from fdisk, I was able to recreate the partitions. However, booting into the BIOS and

Hello, I have the subject mentioned mb and I am trying to install centos 4.4 with sata raid enabled, but linux is not seeing the drives? I tried to load via sata raid driver, no luck there. I guess I could try legacy mode in the bios, but I was hoping there is another way around to load linux with the raid? Thanks....

Hello, I am looking for good website with information on the above 2 items listed in the subject. I have place some with RAID and believe I am picking that up but XEN is another story. I have some free time coming and would really like to learn both and build my present machine into a VM with many hosts installed for testing/learning. Any and all information/links you could forward onto

Hello everyone, I am new to this group so please forgive me if this question has been already asked.
