similar to: Old hardware, newer kernels

I have a CentOS 5.6 system (recently installed) that, for some reason, has decided to mangle one of its drives, specifically /dev/hde1 ... No errors anywhere, just rebooted the machine over the weekend and it's gone. Up till the reboot, the drive was fine, I was writing to it without a problem. fdisk tells me: ---------- # fdisk -l /dev/hde Disk /dev/hde: 160.0 GB, 160041885696

Alan& Akemi, Would it be possible to get CONFIG_ARPD turned on in the centosplus 6.x kernel? It is required to use opennhrp. See the link below where is was decided to turn it on in Fedora. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502844 -- Stephen Clark *NetWolves* Director of Technology Phone: 813-579-3200 Fax: 813-882-0209 Email: steve.clark at netwolves.com

Hi List, I have been searching for the correct createrepo command to make a 6.4 respin. We have been doing this with previous versions using createrepo -u "media://$discinfo" -g ${DIR}/my_kickstart${VER}/comps.xml . Which had worked fine until now.

Hello, Anybody else run into problems with biosdevname .0.5..0-2 changing names from p2p1 to em1 when upgrading from biosdevname 0.4.1-3? Darn!

Hi, I have a confusing problem. I have two centos 5,5 boxes. Both have sudo.i386 1.7.2p1-9.el5_5 installed I am using the same sudoers file, but the one on box A keeps trying to do DNS lookups while the one on box B does not. How do I disable this DNS lookup?

Thanks for the reply Rowland (and sorry for replying twice). I actually used the wiki you linked to setup the dc. I just added those idmap settings because getent could not list my samba users after setting it up, due to your mail I realised I only needed the winbind options to make it work. The original problem still remains though, using \\SMB.WIE I can only access netlogon and sysvol, using

Hi folks, I have a production server that's currently running 5.0 with all updates. What's the easiest, or perhaps best way to upgrade it to 5.1, with minimal down time? The downtime is critical, so I need to have it be a short as possible. I can live with an hour or two, but larger is going to be a pain. Suggestions? -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented

Hi, anybody has installed CentOS on an lanner appliance...? Eg. http://www.lannerinc.com/products/all-purpose-box-computers/industrial-automation/lec-2126 I was planning to buy an hp microserver to make a "small" CentOS firewall (and more since it is overpowered), but I am wondering if I could go for a lot smaller and with no fan/noise... but at the same time a bit more expensive...

Hello to all, currently I have CentOS 6.4 32 bit, very simple setup on my notebook, I want to migrate it from 32 to 64 bits cause I want to play with some VMs etc etc. Do you have some suggestions on how to do backup of folders (mainly I have 1 user) or just copy the user folder and stop?

You should 'yum update' as soon as possible to resolve this issue. Here's why you should care: https://securityblog.redhat.com/2014/09/24/bash-specially-crafted-environment-variables-code-injection-attack/ Links to the centos updates: CentOS-5: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2014-September/020582.html CentOS-6:

I rebuilt my system a couple/three weeks ago, and it's running 6.5, and there's a couple of minor annoyances: first, all my xterms, when I login in from the console, always are in ~/Documents, rather than ~. The other is that, running KDE, I can't find where to turn *off* the stupid login/logout theme music.* Oh, and I get this enTHUsiastic menu, rather than the traditional one.

Hi List, FYI. We have been using CentOS 6.4 and have 2 vpn/gre tunnels to separate cisco rtrs using ospf. with kernel 2.6.32-358.23.2 We have upgraded to 6.5 bit using kernel 2.6.32-431.5.1 and the exact same configuration scripts for our vpn/gre tunnels. What I see is the first gre tunnel works great and I get an ospf neighbor. The second tunnel comes up and I can ping across it and I see

Hello, I am trying to compile RHEL-6 kernel srpm on Fedora 14 and run into the following problem.

I'm hoping that someone here can help. 1: Is this system booting UEFI or BIOS? 2: Is the disk partitioned with MBR or GPT? 3: Is /boot on its own partition? 3TB drives are larger than MBR and BIOS properly support, so they're only really expected to work on a system partitioned with
