Silvertip257, when you did this CentOS 6/KVM/bonding/bridging, did you ever get all the parts playing together correctlhy? I'm facing a setup with only two NIC's, and need for multiple trunked VLAN access, and bonded pairs, and KVM based bridges to get the VM's with exposed IP addresses. I can get basically any 2 out of the 3 server network components working, binding, VLAN's, or

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 haven’t found a complete big-picture walkthrough for the Rails startup process when I looked for one recently. There are some really useful resources about this but they are for Rails 1.2 and each of them only covers certain parts of the process. Thus, I’ve taken some notes while reading to the Rails code and compiled the following guide from them.

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

First off, there is no access into the bios on this unit It will boot from the hard drive or a USB CD. I have a USB DVD/CDRW. The system will boot from it. But if I just press enter to install off the CD, I end up at the askmethod menu. I press the local CD option and am told, no CD. Help?

Installing a new system, I launched the install: linux vnc I was then able to connect with a VNC client and run the install, really cool. All went well until the actual installation started. I saw the formatting of the swap partition, then the root file system and then I was suddenly disconnected. On the console was the following message: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption

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

Hello again. Working to put Centos 5 on my old Toshiba Portege 3490ct (256Mb memory). PCMCIA CDrom and Lan card.

I'm having trouble getting CentOS 4.5 to install via FTP. I have a local FTP server with a mirror of 4/os/i386. I boot from the first CentOS 4.5 CD and enter 'linux askmethod'. I choose the FTP installation method and DHCP for the IP configuration. At the FTP Setup screen I enter the IP address of my server and the path of the i386 directory. Selecting OK there takes me to the CD

I noticed in 4.92 there is no disabling selinux at install. It is now a firstboot option which then requires a reboot. Is there anyway to disable selinux at the boot install prompt so after the firstboot screens it wont reboot again? I presently install with "linux askmethod" so I can select NFS install. Thanks, Jerry

I want to set up a server that will do network installs of CentOS, perhaps through NFS. Ideally, I'd put a CentOS in the CD of the target computer, I boot it off of that CD, and then the rest is done over my network and with the server. Has anyone done that and published it? Where can I find docs? === Al

The Centos 5 install on my notebook stopped at 51% complete on downloading packages. Is there anyway to restart where it hung? Say boot into linux resumeinstall ? :) ARGH!!!

Hi all, I'm installing Centos 5.0 (fresh install) x86_64 via NFS. I've downloaded just the DVD iso via bittorrent, but when it starts the graphical installation phase an error message appears telling me that anaconda can't find the CD iso in the remote server.
