I have a new system with an AMD Ryzen 1600 CPU and I'm trying to run CentOS, so far without success. The only information I could find was a post reporting that CentOS 7 would crash during installation on a Ryzen system: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=61831 . I tried updating to the latest elrepo "mainline stable" kernel, version 4.11 (by booting from a live CD and

I've installed CentOS 7 with the latest kernel from elrepo (4.11.8), and I can't get Grub to install. I think I'll have to conclude that it really

I had CentOS 6 installed on an MBR hard disk. I converted the disk to GPT (with UEFI) and installed CentOS 7 on a new partition. CentOS 7 itself seems to work properly. Grub from CentOS 7 automatically created an entry for CentOS 6, but I get an error if I try to boot CentOS 6. The menu entry is: menuentry 'CentOS release 6.10 (Final) (on /dev/sda7)' --class gnu-linux --class gnu

There's a mistake in HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey , so I'd like to ask that someone fix it, or that I be given editing rights. The mistake is that in the section on CentOS 6, step 8, the correct command is "syslinux /dev/sdb1" (only). Also, although this isn't a mistake, I'd like to suggest mentioning in step 1 that the reason why part of the USB key has to be formatted

I had to stop using the fglrx video driver from ELRepo, which isn't supported with CentOS 6.4. Now I can't start X; I get the following: > (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled. > The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Error: Cannot open "/tmp/server-0.xkm" to write keyboard > description > Exiting > The XKEYBOARD

According to the Wiki, the CentOS contrib repository "contains packages contributed by CentOS users which do not overlap with any of the core distribution packages". The repository seems to be empty. Are contributions actually welcome? Are there any policies about proposing packages? Thanks, -- Yves Bellefeuille <yan at storm.ca> "La Esperanta Civito ne rifuzas anticipe

I have here a box which I dual-boot between CentOS 5.4 and an older version of that "other OS" that I'm using to check out the ELrepo version of kmod-ntfs. After installing as per the directions on the ELrepo site, I can mount an NTFS filesystem, and when I type "mount" with no options the output tells me that the target filesystem is mounted read-write. However, when I

Hi everyone, I updated the kernel from 3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64 to 3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64 . While I was following these steps https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom (I knew that I needed to compile again everything) in order to activate WIFI, the laptop crashed doing # depmod -a # modprobe wl Noting that I replaced (naively) # depmod $(uname -r) from the guide (stupid

If I remember correctly, when version 5.3 was released, about 95% was made available by BitTorrent before the official release date, so that the entire file would be available as soon as possible after the release.

Is there any decision about the donation programme? The Web page still says: "If you are looking to make a cash dontation to the CentOS Project, please check back here after August 15th, 2009."

Hi All, I'm trying to get lm_sensors to work on a Shuttle with an AMD K10. The version of lm_sensors in the main CentOS repo is 2.10.7, which is two years old now. Support for the K10 was added about a year ago. So, does anyone know if there are binaries available for more recent versions of lm_sensors? Also, if anyone has knowledge of the sensors layout for recent Shuttle AMD motherboards,

Unfortunately, the GUI isn't quite set up to tell you what the error would be. When you use `$ sudo yum install whatever.rpm`, the output in the shell will often give you a clue as to what's going wrong--a missing dependency, etc. -- Seth.

Yves thank you very much for your help, today I tried newer drivers but the problem persists. So I think it is hardware problem. Since the laptop is still in warranty I will probably contact the manufacturer. My only worry is that they would not accept it since I am running Linux (the laptop came with Windows - and I am not sure if the problem would be also present on Windows). Do you think there

Hello: My user name is YvesBellefeuille. I'd like to edit the information on using Skype under CentOS 6 at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype .

Here are two examples: (1) it's no longer necessary to install qt4; (2) the packages to be installed are

I have a UEFI system, but I want to install CentOS on a MBR (not GPT) hard disk. The installation program keeps telling me that I must create an "EFI system partition on a GPT disk mounted at /boot/efi". I can't find a way to work around this. Is there a solution? -- Yves Bellefeuille <yan at storm.ca>

Right, the problem seems to arise if you already have partitions on your MBR disk. Perhaps Fred Smith can confirm this. > What is the partition table

If you read https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/installation_guide/sect-disk-partitioning-setup-x86#sect-bootloader-mbr-gpt-x86 carefully, it seems to say that if you have UEFI and an MBR
