Hello All, We would appreciate your advice on the following issue. We have created a full virtualized Xen guest that its disk is an image file of 4GB. We want to use this image file as a template for creating Xen guests which their disk will be an LVM device. The disk image file is of type: file /var/lib/xen/images/rhel52.img /var/lib/xen/images/rhel52.img: x86 boot sector;

Hi folks, I've just finished rsyncing/downloading/jigdoizing the entire i386/x86_64 CentOS 4.2 distribution. If anyone is interested go to http://mirror.tcs.ii.uj.edu.pl/jigdo/ You'll need to edit the .jigdo file by hand to change the server section [Servers] CentOS42=file:/opt/mirrors/centos/4.2/ to point to a local mirror (file, http or ftp), ie. to use kernel.org: [Servers]

Nothing came close to working.

Hello, all - I've been throwing the question around on the kickstart-list for the last few days here, and can't quite get ahold of things. Please, allow me to explain. I am in the process of making a custom CentOS/RHEL kickstart install. It works well right now; however, it's a hackjob, and I am not comfortable with it as of yet. For the past few days, I've even gone as far as

Hi I am installing CentOS4 over ether network using http and kickstart. I boot from the first CentOS CD and at "boot:" prompt I input "ks=http://localserver/install/custom.cfg". Except for minor glitches like "Kernel-Development group not found" warning, the process is smooth and is almost completely automated. Now, I want to add additional RPMS to the CentOS/RPMS

Hey, guys. I have a problem when installing syslinux 4.06, and I'd be grateful if someone could tell me how to solve the problem. My task - to install the bootloader on the virtual machine image. The image contains the MBR and the only partition with the file system ext4. The file system contains all the files for the guest OS. To install bootloader into the image of the guest OS, I use the

Hi Konrad, Does this look at all familiar? There is some more info in the full bug log at http://bugs.debian.org/637234 . In particular, contrary to the message below, the user subsequently confirmed that the issue appears to be Xen specific (doesn''t happen on native or vmware) and that it arose between 2.6.39-2-686-pae and 3.0.0-1-686-pae. Could it be related to edf6ef59ec7e

Hello, I was looking for a way to detect the installed boot loader of an image and I found this: https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript This script will inspection a lot of things on a running system and will output a Report. The most interesting part is that it uses known Master and Volume Boot Record byte-patterns to determine the installed boot loader:

Hi Everyone, Centos 3.3 is available for general use - you can find it at: http://mirror.caosity.org/centos-3/3.3/ This should be a complete rebuild of all the nice things Red Hat has included in the srpms of their Enterprise Linux 3 update 3. This is a rebuild of all the changed packages from update 3 overlaid onto 3.1. It includes a rebuilt anaconda and new boot kernels for the installer.

I'm about to create a new CentOS 3 VM for testing, since we still have a bunch of deployed machines running that OS. (Don't yell at me about using old OSes. These machines won't get "un-deployed" until they fall over dead of natural causes. Until the last one dies, we need test and build VMs around to service them.) I have the CentOS 3.9 *.iso files plus a local cache

Hello, I must make a choice concerning the use of a tool used to update rpms: yum, urpmi or apt-get. Personally, I use urpmi every day, without real problems (the dependences, even those of Perl are very well managed), the "hdlist" can be used in several forms , it contains a lot of funtions but, it is not integrated into up2date and does not have a graphic interface that fits Centos3

For those who are intrested, some debug info that appears on the screen while installing: An unhandles exception has occurred. This is most likely a bug.
