similar to: Centos 5 install failed compounded - no CD?

My company supplies me with a very nice HP nc2400. Much faster, more memory, etc than my old HP nc4010. Problem is the drive is not swappable, and they encrypt the drive (the OS is XP). The nc2400 has a DVD/CDRW and 2 USB 2.0 ports so I was thinking..... Make a Live DVD with everything I need but map /etc /root /home and /var/log (and what else?) to a USB flash drive (16Gb are available

I am building a new server. It will be a temporary firewall of sorts. I am well into the config, made a lot of changes; almost ready to set it up in the target networks, but now.... The system hangs trying to start sendmail. I was thinking hard about disabling sendmail, but thought I needed it for internal functions, so did not. yet. So is there someway to get the system working so I can

When I try to burn anything to cd, I get a message to insert a CD large enough for my file (normally an ISO image). Doesn't matter if the iso image is a 600Mb Centos ISO or a 48Mb DSL ISO. Same warning. My CD-Rs are Memorex 700MB/80min 52x disks that work just fine on XP systems. So what am I missing configuration-wise?

Well FWbuilder is NOT easy. The documentation does not match the current GUI. Now the box is locked up. I will have to pull it again, hook it up to a kybd/VGA and reset iptables.... Maybe Shoreline with webmin.... Problem is I want a REAL router/firewall with little work. Both public and private nets have routable addresses. No NATing for me! I just help write the RFC ;) And all the

I have a bunch of DecTOPs. Use the AMD Geode chip. Yesterday I upgraded one of them, and got the dreaded Kernel panic. Something about powernowk8. I could boot up with the old kernel, though. I know I have to put in a bug report on this, will do shortly, but first wanted to try a fresh install on another DecTOP. At the prompt, I specified: linux askmethod After it loaded the kernel, it

I have sought information on this in the past. I have a decTOP that I can install DSL on with no trouble from my USB DVD/CDRW drive. Centos won't. Neither 4.4 or 5.0 The boot starts, the CD is being read. After I respond to language, it stops saying it can't find the CD. If I go the linux askmethod approach, I can 'see' it loading the install image from the CD, it goes

I am trying to share a CD-RW from the samba server (SuSE Linux 7.3, kernel 2.4.10) using Samba that came with the distribution. I am using user level sharing and have successfully shared out disk shares with both r and rw access. I can also access the CD-ROM and CD-RW in read mode and even do an installation from the CD-ROM to a client. When I try to create a CD using CD-RW, I get the following

I'm running Wine release 20011004 and have created the floppy and CDs drives for my floppy, CD and CDRW. I am automounting the devices. 1. I've noticed that if I don't have a floppy or CD in the drive wine ignores it and even if I insert a disk later the app (notepad) never sees it. 2. I have two CDs, one a Creative DVD and the other a Plextor CDRW, and I've created the

First the Storix drive works just fine under DSL 4.2.1 on my Libretto. So the drive is fine, the media is fine. And cdrecord on DSL reports the media to be Manuf. index: 27 Manufacturee: Prodisc Technology Inc. I have all of ONE system with Centos 4 on it. A Trixbox 2.2; I added cdrecord and found that I could burn the iso image ONLY by including the -force option to get around the

Dear All I tried to mount an external cdrom on my CentOS 5 server but un-successful . I attached the device to my USB port and then the followings have been added to my /dev folder : "cdrom -> scd0 cdrom-sr0 -> scd0 cdrw -> scd0 cdrw-sr0 -> scd0 cdwriter -> scd0 cdwriter-sr0 -> scd0" To this end , I tried to mount it as the followings (but it didn't get through) :

Is it possible to specify a proxy when starting a "linux askmethod" install? Thanks Dean

Trying the to install on the OQO, and hitting up against one problem I see a lot in the comments about installing various distros on it. That is its screen size. So I could install using the text installation except... What is the command line for text install and askmethod so I can use HTTP to access my local repo? What do I add to 'linux askmethod'? And if I go the text install

Hi all, I can't boot the recent linux distro with this recorder CDRW 4x4x32 (Z041 is firmware version suppose). I have this message: Loading initrd.img isolinux Disk error 80 I try to change the cdrw and now I can install distribution like slackware or sabayon, but I don't know the reason of this problem. thanks Ciao -- Email.it, the professional e-mail, gratis per te:

Hey folks - So what happened to the RescueCD ISO?... i'm not finding it under the ...centos/4.4/isos/ dir, as i believe it generally has been previously. At my office, we have a local mirror, and i've always just burned the RescueCD ISO and booted with that. At the prompt i supply "linux askmethod" and then later reference our local mirror to do an install or upgrade. The

Hi, I am new to this list. I am planning for hardware upgrade for a new Linux installation, and I am planning to have it Xen-based. I am planning to use stable Xen 2.x. This is not going to be a hyper-performance computer, just a home computer. So here are few questions I have: What configurations of CPU/Motherboard/Chipset etc. are already known not to work, or have problems with Xen? Are

Hi, I am having trouble using my dvd drive in KDE, as it wont mount, using dvd, cd, cdrw. all I get is the error message saying: Could not mount device. The reported error was: cd9660: /dev/acd0: Invalid argument Has anyone got a solution for this? Thanks, Brian

I am getting "Connection to storage server failed." in roundcubemail. On doing a google search If find: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=473 Which puts the problem at dovecot. I did get a dovecot update back on 3-5 and that would match to my one roundcube mail user complaining and the delays I am seeing with thunderbird and outlook users. So with my setup, I am trying to

Hello, I need to do a firmware update for my cdrw and because of a missing linux program for doing that I thought of using wine for trying it. I call the programm FlashTool.exe and no error messages occur. (The surface really looks great!) The programm detects correctly the flashable cdrw-drive even with ide-scsi and the non-flashable cdrom. But then when I click on "continue" nothing

Can you do this? I have not found the options to get this to happen. So far I have seen how to read the Audio CD and make a directory of WAV files with a control file for later burning to CD, but I want an iso image that I can archive and burn audio CDs to use as they get used up.

I used google but did not come up with anything current to solve my problem. I have not tried any other search engines yet. There is not a search for the CentOS list so I am creating a new post. I have tested the CentOS 5.2 and RHEL 5.3 CD's and they passed. I had to use linux mediacheck ide=nodma to get them to pass. The newest releases seem to most times fail with just linux mediacheck. I
