similar to: CentOS 6 updating policy

Hello there, I'm running a Supermicro server with the latest CentOS 6.4 versions (kernel : 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64) and the latest nvidia driver (331.20). A few minutes after using the GPU for doing some HPC calculations, the server crashes and reboots itself. This is happening every time. I know it will be rebooted but I don't know when. Sometimes it's 20 minutes after starting

Dear CentOS users, I installed CentOS 6.2 x64 in a Sun Fire X4450 machine, it has 4 disks and I configured them to be a single volume (no RAID). The installer sees the volume perfectly, its 570Gb. I created two ext3 partitions, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. In the logs I see they are formated correctly. All the files are installed. Then when I reboot, I get to the GRUB menu. Choose the first and only

Is anyone else seeing this ? John [root at maui ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Update Process

As much as I hate to be the bearer of news, I saw over 400 updates this morning on my upstream 6.1 box.... checking the upstream website, yeah, EL6.2 is out, at least for updates. I didn't see ISO's in my subscribed channel yet, though. I figured someone would notice soon enough. So before anyone goes into flame mode, think about the difficulties that have faced the CentOS developers in

I've just installed v6.3 as a desktop (from Centos-6.3-i386-LiveCD.iso) and to get the hang of the Centos approach and then hope to move on to a server. I've been using linux *buntu for 5 years. Hope i don't sound like a nit but i've got a little confused with the repos. Hoping someone would be kind enough just to clarify. This installation is for stability whilst installing the

Hi, I just learned that there exists a "z-stream" channel upstream that apparently carries some important bugfixes. Does anyone know what the policies are for this channel and how this relates to centos releases? Regards, Dennis

Let's go ahead and get this flame thread started now to save time. The CentOS team sucks ... it took XXXX days to do 6.1 ... it is going to take twice as long to get 6.2 My mom said CentOS blows. kbsingh is ugly. hughesjr is old and fat. OK ... that should do. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: signature.asc Type: application/pgp-signature

Hi gang - Love CentOS - you guys to a fabulous job. It has been a while since I saw any update... I went to twitter.com/centos nothing there, twitter.com/centos6 nothing there, went to the qa calendar stuff nothing there. Last I saw was something in September saying all RPM's are built and doing ISO's. Then nothing. I know the whole story about its ready when its ready and I'm all

Hello, Got a question, will CentOS6.1 continue to be supported with updates, or is it mandatory to upgrade to 6.2?

Are there going to be any CentOS 6 announcements made about bug fixes etc made to CentOS Announce mailing list ? CentOS 6 has been around for a while now, has many fixes available, yet I haven't seen a single announcement. Perhaps I am just not subscribed to the correct list . Ian

I see the two distribution points for each release, they seem very alike, what is the difference? -Ross

I don't really understand the function of this repository, or rather why the RPMs in it are not in the standard repository? I read the outline at <http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR>, and added the repository on two CentOS machines. On yum-updating some 450MB of updates were installed. Both machines appear to be running perfectly well. -- Timothy Murphy

Hi We use mrepo to keep a local repository. I downloaded the CentOS6.1 iso and used that as the base. We also have the CR repo added. I was expecting this change to cause no issues but the following packages have version issues between the base 6.1 and the CR repo:- base version CR version dbus-libs-1.2.24-4.el6_0.x86_64 dbus-libs-1.2.24-5.el6_1.x86_64

Hi all, Both RHEL 6 and CentOS 6 can be installed from any minor releases DVDs: 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, etc. And then got continuous upgrade/update with command 'yum -y upgrade' if repos are setup correct. But the repos infrastructure is different between the two. CentOS uses two repos: ??? ..../centos/6/os/... repo and .../centos/6/updates/... The updates/ repo contains ONLY updated RPMs

Hi. At the moment it seems my machines just update to the latest current release . I install a 6.0 machine and run yum update , and next thing its 6.2 . I have a requirement where I need machines to only upgrade to even numbered sub releases eg: 6.0 , 6.2, 6.4 and only on my approval. But will allow updates within a given release. How can I achieve this ? If I sync the repositories for eg: 6.0

Hi All. I've found: This directory (and version of CentOS) is depreciated. For normal users, you should use /6/ and not /6.3/ in your path. Please see this FAQ concerning the CentOS release scheme: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34 If you know what you are doing, and absolutely want to remain at the 6.3 level, go to http://vault.centos.org/ for packages. Please keep

Hello there, since yersterday, there's a massive update ready for my CentOS 6 (kept up-to-date, including w/ cr updates). The yum update lists many packages from 'base' and 'update' and 2 deps from 'cr' then fails, see: ==================== [snip] Installing for dependencies: perl-CGI x86_64 3.51-119.el6_1.1

Hello, I wanted to set my own time intervals for shutdown. {poweroff,return,paused.return}, so I had to change sources, where it has been set in a hard way. poweroff: Sxx\r return: Zxx\r paused.return: SxxRyyyy\r Solution A: Why not adding an info about these commands in a generic way and issuing shutdown.{poweroff.xx,return.xx,paused.return.xxyyyy} Solution B: Why not creating a special

This may be a noob question but there is something I have been trying to understand, there are currently three main versions of CentOS 4, 5, and 6. My main question is simply how do I know what version I should deploy? I have searched online and either I did not do a good job of searching or the information I get is inadequate. To better understand why I ask this question, here are some of the
