Hi All, For quite some time I've used raid 1 as a means of providing a rollback mechanism for an upgrade (which I learned from others long ago). So essentially, before an upgrade you split the mirrors and upgrade one side or the other. If your upgrade goes well you sync one way, if your upgrade does not you sync the other (much hand waving and chanting going on, as its more complicated than

Hi All, I've been trying to put together a one off CentOS 4 based distro, and I ran into some trouble. First off just so you know we've been doing this with CentOS 3 and with RedHat 9 before that, so the inexperience is only with the delta between CentOS 3 and CentOS 4 (and RHEL 3 and RHEL 4 by extension). Anyway, the problem is that for some reason /dev/console is not getting created.

Does anyone know of a way to have grub install to a floppy image rather than a real floppy device? Thanks...james

I'm migrating my son's Dell laptop from Vista to CentOS 5.3. He came back from each of his first two years of college loaded with virii and trojans. This year he said "Dad, can you give me Linux?" 5.3 went onto the laptop easily and after doing some research, I applied the guidance for getting multimedia working and got the nvidia driver loaded. That works great. Last

I am using R 2.5.0 on windows XP and trying to fit copula. I see the following code works for some users, however my code crashes on the chol. Any suggestions? > mycop <- tCopula(param=0.5, dim=8, dispstr="ex", df=5) > x <- rcopula(mycop, 1000) > myfit <- fitCopula(x, mycop, c(0.6, 10), optim.control=list(trace=1), method="Nelder-Mead")

Have decided to give up on the embedded Broadcom 4312 wireless device in my son's Dell laptop. I get WEP open authentication to work, but nothing else. I was about to dump the bcm43xx kernel module and the bcm43xx-microcode5.fw firmware and work with the newer b43 module and associated firmware. However, he claims that at school, he has always had intermittent problems with wireless under

I've got CentOS 5 installed on my hp pavilion ze 5300 laptop and the network configuration UI says my wireless NIC has been correctly identified and assigned what appears to be the right Broadcom device driver on eth1. However, the inteface doesn't come up. Google doesn't find anything recent about using Linux with Broadcom except for someone's passing remark that Ubuntu 7 beta

Hi all, I would like to announce a CentOS on Laptops initiative. The aim is to allow everybody in the community (and on this mailinglist) to document their own experience with CentOS on their laptop (on the CentOS wiki). The goal of this initiative consists of 2 parts: - help and convince people with their own CentOS on laptop installation - promote CentOS on other Laptop websites and fill

Any hope of getting my laptop's Broadcom BCM94311 wireless running on CentOS 5? I find lots of references to using fwcutter to get the needed firmware from Windows drivers, but there's a Catch-22: Version of fwcutter that generate files for the bcm43xx driver in CentOS 5 don't recognize the md5sum of any currently available Windows driver. Newer versions of fwcutter

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, I'm giving serious thought to loading 5.1 on my Inspiron 1501 laptop, but I'm wondering about certain hardware support such as the following: - - Broadcom Wireless Adapter - 1390 Wlan (bcm43xx) - - USB (Pny Memory Stick - everytime on previous version CentOS has eaten the damned things) - - pptp vpn client(s) Any comments? thanks,

I'm using CentOS 5 (w/all latest updates as of 2008-01-06) on an HP laptop -- in fact, the exact laptop described here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/HP/Pavilion-ze5300_Series Ever since I switched from SHARED to OPEN authentication (and hence from using ndiswrapper to the bcm43xx module, as explained on that wiki page), I've been having packet loss and/or collision on the

Hi there, i am looking for a bit of advice on how to proceed with a wee problem that i am having. I have a BCM4306 pcmcia card (one of the later revisions) that i use to connect to my wpa2 wireless network. This is running on an old Dell Latitude (circa 1999). I used to use fedora (7,8 and then 9) on this but 2.6.23 and 2.6.25 stopped populating various bits of /proc/acpi with the relevant

I searched the mailing list archives and found one post relevant to my problem, but it was not specific enough to solve my problem. I am reading in a large file of data (I believe it is in ASCII format). I have tried reading the file in as a data frame and as a list, and both methods result in unwanted levels being created which leads to problems when I try to copy or reference certain cells.

Hi all, I have been trying to get CentOS 5.5 running on my Laptop for a while now. I am currently running Fedora 13 for the only reason that my Dell Wireless HSPA 5530 built-in 3G Mobile Device is working. I have tried loading the bcm43xx modules after reading several posts on Google but not able to get this working at all. I have run CentOS on my servers for a while now and love it. Just this

The intent of commit 199f218bf431b77c12a728f7072bed1553a0f0af seems praiseworthy, but since 'all-am' is automatically added by Automake as a prerequisite of the 'install' target, its effect is to stop people running 'make install' as root: make install-am make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/libguestfs/x86_64-spindle/src' make -C ../generator stamp-generator make[3]:

I'm not *entirely* sure but this began happening at about the time I installed the latest kernel updates for CentOS 5.1 (kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5.i686.rpm from January 24). Shortly before that I changed the encryption on my wireless router and switched from ndiswrapper back to the standard bcm43xx driver, but I'm pretty sure the network was OK before that update for the simple reason that

Hi all, We are running a new Centos-4 server, and it has kernel panicked on us 4 times in the last month. After the first kernel panic we hooked up a serial console to the server and captured the output in order to have a record of what happens. I've included the error messages from the last time it locked up... but it doesn't really mean much to me. Anybody have any ideas what might be
