One of my VPS stopped working. After the data centre replaced a disk normal service resumed, then I notices this: CentOS release 5.5 (Final) Kernel 2.6.35.4 on an x86_64 I always thought Centos 5.x would always be on 2.6.18. Any thoughts?

(I'm doing tests in a VirtualBox instance, so take this with a grain of salt.) If you give the VM only 512 MB of RAM, the text-mode installer kicks in. It does not prompt you to configure anything related to the network or hostname. The system boots up without a network interface configured. Also, it won't let you choose the install mode, I guess it defaults to Minimal (which is fine

Do most people today have /boot on a separate partition, or do they (you) have it on the / partition ? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

I have some questions about the "Continious Repo". Does the "Continious Repo" replace the Centos-Base/Updates repo? Is the "Continious Repo" in a standard place on the CentOS mirrors? Ie. can I just add another line to my rsync script to get this repo? It is not possible for me to just update directly off the net (I have a slow and unreliable network connection)

Did the Announce go out for CentOS 5.6, or are people just jumping the gun? If it went out, I missed it, and need to look at my spam filters. If it hasn't gone out yet, then maybe I'm OK... See... No "is it ready" crap in here!

Is there a document with instructions for this? I've had smartd warnings that a hard disk in my server is sick, so I am installing a new drive (in addition to the old). I was thinking of copying the old root partition with sudo cp -a -P /* /mnt/hd (after mounting the prospective new root partition). Then I'd have to modify the new /etc/fstab . Is that a sensible approach? -- Timothy

I have two computers: both running CentOS 6.7, 64-bit, with kernel 2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64. One is a laptop with an 2 core Intel processor and the other is a desktop machine with a 4 core AMD processor. Both with selinux enabled. I have a USB serial port device (a RR-CirKits LCC-Buffer USB). On the desktop I am getting this error: sauron.deepsoft.com% sudo minicom Device /dev/ttyACM0

I did a yum update on my CentOS 6 laptop and it upgraded Firefox to 78, and FF stopped seeing my mic and speakers. Is there some magic I need to do? As a short term (?) fix, I downgraded back to Firefox 68.

I recently acquired a Fujitsu Lifebook 1610. Unfortunately, the machine was missing a lot of the stuff that would've come with it brand new, mainly the usb cdrom drive. Currently, I'm running Fedora on it, and I installed it using a usb flash drive with the help of a program called unetbootin(Probably not spelled right). to load the ISO onto the USB drive. I've successfully used

Does there exist a version of Lilo built for x86_64 CentOS 5? It does not seem to be on the DVD. *I* really, really, prefer Lilo over Grub. -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller at deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/

I am wondering about updating the version of Spam Assassin on my CentOS 5 mail server. The current version, 3.3.1-4.el5 (stock RHEL version), has been 'leaking' recently. I suspect I need some newer match rules to detect some of the newer flavors of spam. I see that in rpmforge's extras repo is version 3.3.2-4.el5.rfx -- is this version worth installing? Are there even newer versions

I am trying to get amanda backup going on a CentOS 7 system and things are not working: sharky4.deepsoft.com% sudo systemctl start amanda-udp [sudo] password for heller: Job for amanda-udp.service failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded. See "systemctl status amanda-udp.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. sharky4.deepsoft.com% sudo systemctl status -l

Is there some reason the ahci kernel module is *missing* from the 2.6.9-89.0.16.plus.c4 kernel? It is in the standard 2.6.9-89.0.16.EL kernel. Is this due to an oversight or is there some sort of conflict? I wanted to add IEEE1394 support to my system running CentOS 4.8. I *looks* like what I need to do is download the kernel SRPM and patch the config to include the IEEE1394 modules and

OK, I wanted to replace the 500G disks in a Dell T20 server with new 2TB disks. The machine has 4 SATA ports, one used for the optical disk and three for the hard drives. It is set up with /dev/sda and /dev/sdb with each three partitions: 1 -- VFAT (for EFI) 2 -- ext4 (for /boot) 3 -- LVM /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 are a mirror raid (/dev/md0) /dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb3 are a mirror raid

What is the trick to get Postfix's local command to pipe mail through procmail? I have: -bash-4.1$ grep allow_mail_to_commands /etc/postfix/main.cf allow_mail_to_commands = alias, forward and -bash-4.1$ cat .forward |/usr/bin/procmail and a .procmailrc file: -bash-4.1$ cat .procmailrc PATH=/usr/bsd:/bin:/usr/bin:/exp/rcf/share/bin MAILDIR=/var/lib/amanda/Mail #you'd better

Hi, Am trying to build SMP kernel. Took kernel-2.6.18-194.src.rpm, extracted, rpmbuilded with SMP option. Successfully compile the new kernel and when using that kernel to boot up, following errors were shown up(highlighted in bold & red color): My kernel config file has ACPI and PCI configs enabled. Any pointers to what caused the problem are appreciated. ******************************
