similar to: yum kernel update problem

The latest CentOS 5 kernel, 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 broke my box and I had to drop back to 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 before I could play DVDs with either Xine or mplayer. ( xine-0.99.5-1.el5.rf & mplayer-1.0-0.36.rc1try2.el5.rf ). This is no big deal to me -- as long as I can make certain that the older kernel doesn't go away. If I understand the installonly plugin correctly, an entry of tokeep=4 in

Hi -- I''m just a little nervous about deploying my Xen VMs. Will they perform when in actual production? How stable is Xen, really? So, I thought I would do some stress testing before deploying it. I''d like to test VMs running various services, alone and all together... DNS, HTTP/S, Tomcat, IMAP/SMTPD. Does anyone here have suggestions for load generating software? Or, has

Hi. I am new to CentOS (Debian user) and I am looking for way how to install CentOS 5 on domU in the way that I have it directly on dom0 LVM partition. If I install it with virtual-manager then the installation program takes that partition as a disk and then creates new partitions on it. I don''t want it that way because I cannot then mount it from dom0. Is there some way how to

Hi all, I am in a bit of a fix here, I have several Guests paravirtualized running on a Dom0 that is currently running the 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen Kernel. All my guests (administered by different people) have subsequently been updated to later versions of the kernel (namely 2.6.18-164.el5xen or 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5xen). Ones that are still running are using the Kernel 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5xen while

I installed XEN. my kernel is 2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen I downloaded ipw3945-linux-1.2.0 This told me do download ieee80211-1.2.16 So when I try to compile ieee80211 it tells me find: /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen/build/: No such file or directory egrep: /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen/build//.config:

I followed the book called "Professional Xen Virtualization" written by William von Hagen,and published by Wiley Publishing,Inc.

Hello Can anyone share a known working config for xen which would transfer a serial interface ( add-on card preferably, mine uses e880-e887 : 0000:03:05.0 / ec00-ec07 : 0000:03:05.0 ) to a DomU ? I've been trying with the stock packages from Centos 5.5 ( fully updated) and also with gitco's 3.4.3 but after 2 days of googling and testing we still fail to access the serial

I've managed to install CentOS 5.1 on S5000PAL with fakeraid Intel Embedded Raid Technology II Raid1 (LSI chipset) with some help of kickstart declaration 'driverdisk --source=http://.../driver.img' Then I've had some problems with yum update - new kernel didn't know about megasr.ko. I've solved it with commands: cd /lib/modules/ cp 2.6.18-53.el5PAE/updates/megasr.ko

Hi, I was trying to install OCFS 2 in my Oracle Linux 5 Machine.

Hi, on one of our systems I see that while the time on the Centos 5.4 Host is correct it lags behind on two of the 5.5 guests by almost 5 minutes but is correct for the third domU. From what I understand the clock of the system is controlled by the host and and guest cannot write to it (and because of that not change it). Does anyone now what the cause could be and how I can fix the time for

Hi all, I am running CentOS 5.3 under xen on a VPS machine (so I have a limited control on the machine) I am playing with openswan and KLIPS and I need to build the ipsec.ko kernel module.

Good morning, I need to use pciback.hide to hide a pci card because I want to pci passthrough that card to a domU. My hardware neither supports Intel-Vt-d nor AMD's IOMMU. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work in Centos 54 anymore. I guess it doesn't work because it is not compiled into the kernel, but as a module. I got the following error in dmesg and the pci device is still

Hello All. Below is the error i am getting while starting the guest domain.Not sure whats the issue.

Hi all, I have an odd problem, for which I couldn't find any suggestions on google.

I want to convert all my NTFS partitions to ext3 since I'm no longer running Windows, at least on my main machine at home.

I've only done this so far during the installation phase, and that
