Hi, I am running C6.5 64bit on an USB stick connected to a HP DL360G7; It is usually an ESXi host but eg for firmware updates (not available on SPP) I use this local installation. Problem are the lags and unresponsiveness we are seeing for example when running yum update in the installation phase. The whole system stalls but there is no io in vmstat. From what google tells us, this is a

I'm using LiveUSB-Creator to create a bootable USB drive from CentOS-6.0-i386-netinstall.iso, and it gives me an error at startup: vesamenu.c32: Not a COM32R image I can hit tab and select "linux" and then it loads vmlinux and the initrd, says "Ready", and then just hangs. I'm not sure what's supposed to happen next. "vesa" and "rescue" do

Ok, did some experiments. Here's the scoop. You will need a live USB key of CentOS 6 with a persistence layer (overlay) and the EPEL gdisk package installed to make this thing boot. On a system with Chameleon already installed, boot the CentOS 6 install media. Installing Chameleon without OSX is an adventure that I've not done, so a 'testing' OSX install (10.6) with the

hello, while upgrading a kvm virtualization cluster from c6.4 to c6.5 and i am no longer able to control the migration speed. in c6.4 the default speed was the maximum bandwidth (1g in my case) and the actual migration speed was about 100MB/s. now in c6.5 the actual migration speed dropped down to about 25MB/s - 50MB/s, it varies and sometimes during migration of huge machines (36GB) i was at

Hi, I bought an USB external hdd (500GB) to make my backups using dump... but, sometimes my sever recognize the hdd device /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc... my question is: How can I assign a fixed device for example /dev/sdc to my hdd? remember I use some scripts to do my backup and I am getting errors because the device changes from sdb to sdc and thanks in advance Israel

Hi all, I got a USB-HDD, but it doesn't looked like connect and cannot mount it just after PC boot. But insert and remove a usb cable from PC, it connect (with hotplug?) Is there any good how-to's for getting a usb-HDD to auto connect when It is booted the computer? lsmod is following: [lsmod of just after boot] Module Size Used by Not tainted parport_pc

Hi there, I've read the instructions on using syslinux; in particular, I'm interested in booting off a USB stick. According to doc/usbkey.txt, USB-HDD is the best mode -- but there's no mention of how to get that working. I've tried googling it, but can't seem to find instructions (probably not searching for the right thing) Could someone here point me in the right

Hello, I don't know if it's ISOLINUX or a broken BIOS, this is the first time ever seeing this error. "Extremely broken BIOS" on a EPIA -M10 BIOS Rev 2.07 (latest ver available) EDEN VIA mini-ITX mobo. ISOLINUX on RH8 ver 1.75, RH9 ver 2.00 and Yarrow ver 2.06 all produce the same type of error. RH 7.3 and Lindows boot and build without any problem but I don't think they

Hi there, just a short question: Does someone know if it''s possible to use an USB HDD in one HVM domU? It doesn''t need to be the particular USB device, deligating the whole USB controller to this single domU wouldn''t hurt either. Also reconfiguration isn''t an issue, as - if it''s possible - USB devices would only be used by one domU. Thanks in

Hi - relatively inexperienced user here. I installed CentOS 5.2 yesterday (http install via a mirror, worked brilliantly), as well as a new Seagate 1Tb USB external HDD (from the new Xtreme line), for backup/media storage. Using fdisk I put two primary partitions on the Seagate, /dev/sde1 and /dev/sde2 (roughly half the drive each). Then I used mkfs.ext3 on both to create ext3 filesystems

Hi there guys! I want to set up Puppy-Linux to run off a 2GB USB key-drive in native mode (I.e. not as a virtual machine, which I'm finding runs too slow on my system, under XP.) To test it out, I want to run off a 150GB USB HDD. Now this drive is NTFS formatted and way bigger than the 1GB file structure limit that I read about in the Syslinux documentation. There's only one

Hi, I bought a USB hard drive, got Mandriva installed on it, and made it bootable with extlinux. Works great on machines that can boot from USB. I also created a boot cd using the instructions in the wiki. This is working too. The only problem with the boot cd is that I had to copy the kernel, initrd, etc. to the cd. This means that whenever I install a new kernel I'll have to create and

A bit about my experience with the TDM-04 FXO. Only saw a few post on this subject, thought I would contribute a little about my experience to save others the hassle. a. As an earlier poster noted, the driver for the FXO is in the wcfxs module. Perhaps it should be renamed to something less confusing. b. You need the zaptel,zapata libraries from the cvs, the ones with Asterisk 0.7.2 won't

Thanks Nazo, for that amazing long answer. The problem is, though, that you're talking to an _XP user_, so I can't: "Just use dd with if=/dev/sda" because that's Dutch to me. I even had trouble understanding what a "distro" was, till I looked it up. And I can't run "mkdiskimage", because it doesn't run under XP. Also, according to

Hello, does this sound as a good combination, mini-itx board with Atom dual core 1.6ghz 2G ram and a sangoma USB? For a setup with PSTN for incoming and IAX2(alaw/gsm) for outgoing calls. - Would you say its a good choice from a hardware perspective? - Roughly how many concurrent calls would one of these be able to handle?

I can't seem to get an external DVD drive to show up on an CentOS 7 server. Wondering if it's just missing a driver or if I'm missing something fundamental. It's an external USB device that works fine on my Fedora 21 Laptop, but I never get a /dev/ entry (EG: /dev/sr0) on the server. What can I do to make this thing work?

Is case anyone wants to know... The Fritz! USB ISDN box works fine with Asterisk! I'm running CAPI 0.3.0 and love it, because the mini ITX server I have only takes one PCI slot which is now filled with a 4 port Digium card.
