similar to: Script to rebuild CentOS 8 boot ISO with plus kernel

I have been building up a script to quickly and easily make CentOS/RHEL and Fedora VMs from kickstart files for a long time, and thought I'd see if anyone else was interested. It's especially useful IMHO if you are working on building kickstarts, because you can fairly rapidly iterate and test. I've got it built as an RPM, so if others think this is useful, I might submit it to

> > You can probably replace that with a much cleaner pid=$(pidof cassandra). Good to know! I hadn't heard of pidof before. However this is what I get when I run it: [root at web1:~] #pidof cassandra [root at web1:~] # Returns nothing. However: [root at web1:~] #pidof java 27210 11418 10852 Gives me a few pids. Only one of which belongs to cassandra, as I have a few java processes

Thank you for the great CentOS. When trying to update from 5.0 to 5.1, I get an error regarding the centos.plus kernel and headers, "[Errno -1] Package does not match intended download". What'd I do? The end of the yum update results below: Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 11 Package(s) Update

If it wouldn't be too much trouble ... when a kernel security update notice is posted to the announcements list, would it be possible to indicate whether the centosplus kernel is also susceptible to the security issue being patched? I'm running the plus kernel now, and find myself wondering whether I will ever need to back off to the base kernel because of security issues. Or is it

Helo, I'm trying to update a centos server with a kernel form the centos.plus repro because it contain Firewire/IEEE1394 support. But when y do a : # yum update The kernel from the base is more recent thant the centos plus repro I have tried with the http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities plug-in and it didn't take the right kernel :

I have BIOS+UEFI PXE boot set up, although it took some doing. I still use SYSLINUX for BIOS, but GRUB2 plus Red Hat's secure boot shim for UEFI. I never could get SYSLINUX's UEFI support working very

Dear CentOS lovers, Is someone interested in the linux-2.6-smarter-relatime.patch for centosplus kernel? This patch solves disk I/O performance dramatically on servers, And recent distributions (fedora9 and later, etc.) and official kernel applies it. RHEL6 may include it, but RHEL5 is not. How about the linux-2.6-smarter-relatime.patch? Best Regards, Yuji

The capability is still there and works just the same as before. The only change is that the new preferred tool for graphical VM management, Cockpit, doesn't yet support making snapshots. virt-manager is still there for now (presumably until

I am trying to use a kickstart to install CentOS 8.2 on a server with a pair of drives with Linux software RAID 1. The install completes, but the resulting system will not boot - I get "Booting from Hard drive C:" from the BIOS (Dell in legacy BIOS mode, not UEFI) and it stops. If I then start the installer in rescue mode and run grub2-install on the two drives, it boots okay. If I
