Hi I have a compaq R4000 with the 2.4GIG AMD 64 bit. 4000+ rated. proc cpuinfo reports cpu Mhz as 997.481 Do I have to run the 64 bit version to have things run correctly? I just have the normal 4.2 loaded at this time. The laptop seems slow for 4000+ as reflected by the cpu Mhz also. Any thoughts on running the 32 bit version of 4.2 vs the 64 bit version of 4.2? Jerry

To continue here with problems on this compaq v2000 laptop, I put kernel source on a USB disk and plugged it into the v2000. NOTHING IS recognized. I tried to manually mount the disk and nothing either... I thought USB was well established.... I thought trying to recompile the kernel for realtek support might get my networking going... I am stuck??? Jerry -------------- next part

Is there a way to tell through /proc or something else which files a process has open and more importantly what position the read pointer is in for that open file? As an example if I am reading a file with a program I have no control over, and I kill that program, I need to know when in the data file that program was reading at that time. Is this information available and if so how to read it?

Hi - I am not an expert at shell script writing. If /proc/cmdline looks like option1 option2 ... ks=http://192.168.1.8/ks/ks.cfg option3 option 4 ... How can I get the 192.168.1.8 out of this cmdline. THanks, Jerry

I am using centos 5.1. I want to keep my machines always powered on. Some machines (important ones) are UPS'd. I have also set in the BIOS (gigabyte motherboard) the power options that after power loss should do a full on. The other day we had just a momentary power drop. the UPS machines had no issue of course with that. However, the other machines did not come back on. Is there anything

I tested the memdisk-acpi branch with following results: - Bochs The BIOS provides a RSDT. Available tables are RSDT, FACP, DSDT, FACS, APIC, SSDT. memdisk-acpi is able to hook the SSDT. - VMware The BIOS provides a RSDT and XSDT. Available tables are RSDT, FACP, DSDT(*), FACS(*), BOOT(*), APIC(*) and XSDT, FACP, DSDT(*), FACS(*), BOOT(*), APIC(*). Tables marked with an asterisk (*) are

Is there a command that will monitor a process for exiting (crash or normal exit) and then execute another command based on the said process no longer being active? Or is there a "wrapper" command that runs a process and when that process exists due to crashing or just exiting normally) that another process can be run. Thanks, Jerry

I was just wondering if there are special tricks people do that compile A LOT on centos? Do RAM disks help or something else I dont about that minimizes your compile time? I presently have and AMD x2 4800+ with 2GIG ram. Just curious if I can reduce any more time out of my compiles. Jerry

I am trying to create a CF card that boots 686 CentOS 6.3 On boot I get a message about /dev/disk/by-label/\x2f where \x2f is "/" cannot be found.

Gents, I can compile mplayer on centos 4.5 AMD 64 in native 64 bit mode and it plays the dvd, and also compile for 32 bit mode "gcc -m32" on it also plays the dvd. "mplayer dvd://1".

Hi, I have a v2000 compaq laptop. The realtek network and USB on this machine was not working. After adding to grub.conf "acpi=off apci=off noacpi noapic" the v2000 realtek started working and the USB worked fine... Fantastic! So I thought I would try those same options on my r4000 laptop. they had no effect.... This AMD turion 64 4000+ rating laptop is still running SLOWWW...
