similar to: Kickstart + CentOS 5 = doesn't prompt for network information?

Are any of you using the Intel 320 as ZIL? It''s MLC based, but I understand its wear and performance characteristics can be bumped up significantly by increasing the overprovisioning to 20% (dropping usable capacity to 80%). Anyone have experience with this? Ray

So what does everyone out there use to generate web statistics these days? Are the tried and true awstats or webalizer still the best out there? Ray

Hello List, Due to a problem with CentOS 5 and one of our firewalls I am having to disable tcp window scaling to stop network connections grinding to a halt. I am also trying to Kickstart CentOS 5 machines through the firewall so need to disable window scaling at install time. I have added to the kickstart file %pre echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling But the install still hangs

Hey all, I'm having some trouble getting PHP5 w/ CentOS 5 to connect to a remote MySQL server using the standard mysql_connect() call. Yes, MySQL libraries are installed along with php-mysql... The only way I can get it to work is to run setenforce Permissive, otherwise the connection fails. The annoying thing is that nothing at all shows up in my /var/log/messages file describing why

Hi all; We have a Solaris 10 U9 x86 instance running on Silicon Mechanics / SuperMicro hardware. Occasionally under high load (ZFS scrub for example), the box becomes non-responsive (it continues to respond to ping but nothing else works -- not even the local console). Our only solution is to hard reset after which everything comes up normally. Logs are showing the following: Jan 8

We recently had a disk fail on one of our whitebox (SuperMicro) ZFS arrays (Solaris 10 U9). The disk began throwing errors like this: May 5 04:33:44 dev-zfs4 scsi: [ID 243001 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci8086,3410 at 9/pci15d9,400 at 0 (mpt_sas0): May 5 04:33:44 dev-zfs4 mptsas_handle_event_sync: IOCStatus=0x8000, IOCLogInfo=0x31110610 And errors for the drive were

I''ve rewritten my kickstart cgi in rails with DB acces to the host list and the testing is perfect. I can send the macaddress in the HTTPrequest Header, rails looks up the macaddr in the machine db and spits back out a kickstart file for the machine.. however in real world usage what I get is a request for http://server//kickstarts/kickme which rails fails with 192.168.20.176 - -

Kind of a newbie question here -- or I haven''t been able to find great search terms for this... Does ZFS recognize zpool members based on drive serial number or some other unique, drive-associated ID? Or is it based off the drive''s location (c0t0d0, etc). I''m wondering because I have a zpool set up across a bunch of drives and I am planning to move those drives to

I am trying to add a kickstart file to my automatic installation and make it more automatic. However, when I comment out the append ks=... line in the example below, the computer boots properly. If I uncomment that line, then I get a kernel panic: VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 09:02 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root

I would like one of my kickstart scripts to prompt for disk and networking only. Commenting out the disk and network settings makes the installer prompt for disk settings but not for network settings, they default to DHCP. Any idea's how to fix this? Thanks Dean

I have been building up a script to quickly and easily make CentOS/RHEL and Fedora VMs from kickstart files for a long time, and thought I'd see if anyone else was interested. It's especially useful IMHO if you are working on building kickstarts, because you can fairly rapidly iterate and test. I've got it built as an RPM, so if others think this is useful, I might submit it to

I just had to change the install command to use ftp. I had to uncomment all of the drive partitioning commands. At first I was confused as to the partitioning failure, then figured out that the partitioning commands were commented out. Most likely to prevent an unwanted disk clearing. Only things: Did stop at the bootup to create a user id. Not a big deal in this case, as I was logging

I've got a memory stick that I use to install systems. It's basically just has a simple isolinux setup on it that calls up the kickstart files from an http server and pulls down the distro via our online repo. However, I'm trying to get a standard automated install like this on an IBM box which has a Broadcom NetXtreme 2 NIC that requires firmware to be there on bootup. I've got

Hi, ?I've recently setup a centos 6 kickstart environment. Interesting fact is that the helpful 'shell command prompt' screen is missing when I press ALT+F2 key combination even on locally connected keyboard and monitor. ( my kickstart runs in text mode). All other screens can be found without issues with ALT+Fn key combination. I googled internet, and found someone reported similar

How does one use virt-install and kickstart ? I've seen others have success but I've had no joy thus far. BTW, my interactive virt-installs for centos6 guests work just fine AND I can do unattended kickstarts for vms by booting from centos6 install dvd and typing the kickstart commands from the boot: prompt. However, kickstart commands in --extra-args when used w/ virt-install just

Hi all, I've set up a CentOS flash stick using the LiveCD tools, then dumping that onto flash with a persistent overlay - instructions here: http://wtf.geek.nz/?blog/2009/12/08/how-to-make-a-useful-centos-utility-flash-stick This gets me to a prompt in which I can do recovery stuff, but I'm curious to know if it's possible to initiate a kickstart install onto the local disks from

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Anyone have any thoughts on why anaconda might be prompting me to reinitialize the disk during the kickstart of a Centos6.4 install on hyperV when a) the kickstart file contains "zerombr" as referred to in the installation guide[1] b) installation proceeds with no prompt on KVM hypervisors and succeeds? I have read the release notes[2]/tech

Hi all, I'm testing new "minimal" kickstarts files for CentOS6 and CentOS7. The CentOS6 kickstart works fine, but i've a dependency problem with the CentOS7 equivalent. In my kickstarts, i use network install with following repos/packages (for the repo, the only change is version number 6 <-> 7): url --url="http://mirror.in2p3.fr/ftp/linux/CentOS/7/os/x86_64/"
