similar to: kernel panic on 5.6

I grabbed a new SSD M4-CT064M4SSD2 from Crucial. I am disappointed. I stuck the unit in an Atom machine (zotac) with CentOS 6 on the disk. It really doesn't "feel" faster than the previous 5400 RPM drive that was in it. The SSD is giving me (in the zotac running centos 6): hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 298 MB in 3.00 seconds = 99.30 MB/sec The

When I came into work this morning the console had the following: bio_endio __end_that_request_first scsi_end_request scsi_io_completion scsi_finish_command scsi_softirq __do_softirq do_softirg do_irq command_interrupt default_idle cpu_idle start_kernel Panic I am running software RAID-1 on this machine. I had 2 IDE disks and the machine when down once in a while with similiar messages. I

every other day I do full backups to both a second internal disk and an external usb disk. I am using a fully up to date centos 5.1 AMD 64 X2 6400+ machine. with SATA disks. using an NVIDIA chipset, when I do a full rsync the responsiveness of my machine suffers. Slow on the internal disk and really slow on external usb. doing "top" shows 0% idle but only 17% CPU usage by the rsync

Seems like overnight every motherboard that worked with linux has DROPPED off the face of the earth. Every motherboard I looked at is using the realtek 8111 chipset and a northbridge that is not supported. Example: GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3, does not work with linux I tried disabling the onboard NIC and using a PCI-E intel card I always use and that would not work either. The north or south bridge

Hi all, I have a 3G AM2 quad core CPU... x86_64 centos 5.3 When I am doing backing up to my external USB drive my system becomes sluggish. Clicking on a thunderbird compose takes some time to pop up the window. Typeing doesnt keep up etc... Is there something I can change so this backup doesnt slow my system down so much? I dont see HOW it can be taking so much CPU. top at times shows 0 idle

Hi, I was wanting to run the equivalent of "hdparm -Tt /dev/hda" except on a SATA hard disk. What is the equivalent command for an SATA drive? I was wanting to see what kind of speed I am getting on the SATA drive. thanks, Jerry

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

I have a two external USB drives only 1 is connected to centos 5.1 at a time. the USB drive is SLOW compared to SATA. The external drive suppots both connections USB and SATA. I bought a little $5 external SATA connector that goes into the PCI slot area (does not actually take a PCI slot just the backpanel) and just plugs back into one of the available SATA ports on the motherboard. When I

Hi all, Is it possible to take the 686 CentOS 5, install that in virtual machine, install a custom kernel that is the 486 flavor, take that image and put it on a 8G CF card - insert that into a small form factor 486 class machine and have that work? I am hoping the extra instructions in a 686 (MMX, SEE etc) are not used by any libraries that I would be using (just standard stuff) and the new

I have been told to install a 32 bit libc on my x86_64 system. I tried "yum install libc.i386" and I got no match. What is the command I need? Jerry

On my machine I have SATA0: HD SATA1: HD these two drives are set as RAID1 SATA2: HD extra SATA3: DVD SATA4: external USB disk Snip from dmesg shows the ATAPI device being detected. ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x9e0 ctl 0xbe0 bmdma 0xe400 irq 10 ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x960 ctl 0xb60 bmdma 0xe408 irq 10 ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata3.00: ATAPI: PIONEER BD-ROM

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

Everything on Centos 7 seems fine - except - my program. I am trying to compile and run on centos 7. Everything compiles/runs on C6, the executable from C6 runs on C7. when I compile and run on C7 - I get a SEG fault. when I debug: gdb program break main run I get a seg fault at or before main What might I be looking for in this case? Thanks, Jerry

I got a different motherboard today. took my sata drive and put it on the new motherboard. On boot it says kernel panel not LABEL=/ not found. How do I redo the label and tell it /dev/sda1 is "/"? Jerry

Gents, I am trying to do a "gcc -m32" on a x86_64 box. gcc -m32 /tmp/jj.c /usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status This is the error I get. I did a "yum install glib.i386" successfully. there is no "yum install glib-devel.i386". How can i get a "gcc -m32" compile on my x86_64? THanks, Jerry
