similar to: Any special option to debug kernel just freezing?

I am attempting to install 7.1-BETA2 (from CD) onto a PC with a Promise SX4060 RAID controller and two Seagate 120GB ATA disk drives. The boot from CD keeps repeating the following (error) messages: (I'm retyping here) ============================================================================ ================== ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE task queue timeout - completing

I sent a note about this a couple of weeks ago, but have not heard anything. I'm really getting a bit desperate. I have a system that I am trying to upgrade from 8.2 to 9.0. I have built it and installed the kernel, but it fails to boot. The boot freezes after probing for my hard drives during the probe of the CDROM. It just sits there, seemingly forever, though I have never waited longer

Hello, I am looking for a laptop with the following specs: Built-in GSM module Trusted platform module Support for these modules, as for the network (Ethernet + WiFi) for RHEL/Centos6.

Hi, after one month with gmirror and gjournal running on a 7.0-RELEASE #p2 amd64 (built from latest CVS source), the box hung a couple of times when on high disk load. Finally, while building some port it won't boot for no reason obvious to me. This is what I get with kernel.geom.mirror.debug=2: ata2-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA133 cable=40 wire ad4: 476940MB <SAMSUNG HD501LJ

Hi Gang! I've got this (now old) Gigabyte motherboard (GA-7N400 Pro2), I've had it for just over 3 years. I use it, so far, with only PATA devices. I'm toying with the idea of buying a matched pair of SATA drives and when I install Centos 5 (hopefully soon), building it with software raid (using the two drives as mirrors of each other). Now, I wouldn't have ever even thought of

Hi there, I have a question regarding PCI passthrough on the Citrix XenServer 5.6 (Xen 3.4.2). I already managed to get some soundcard passed through to a Windows guest. So I think my knowledge about that topic isn''t _that_ low. But I cannot seem to pass through a SATA/PATA controller to a Linux guest. I have some additional CD/DVD burner (PATA) attached to a SATA/PATA controller

I used google but did not come up with anything current to solve my problem. I have not tried any other search engines yet. There is not a search for the CentOS list so I am creating a new post. I have tested the CentOS 5.2 and RHEL 5.3 CD's and they passed. I had to use linux mediacheck ide=nodma to get them to pass. The newest releases seem to most times fail with just linux mediacheck. I

I suspect it''s probably not a good idea but I was wondering if someone could clarify the details. I have 4 250G SATA(150) disks and 1 250G PATA(133) disk. Would it cause problems if I created a raidz1 pool across all 5 drives? I know the PATA drive is slower so would it slow the access across the whole pool or just when accessing that disk? Thanks for your input. - Chris

I'm still having conceptual trouble with this one. I have two PATA and two SATA disks in my home system. When the system comes up, these are, espectively, /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I have the boot order of the drives in the boot PROM set to boot from /dev/sda (hard drive 2), then /dev/hda (hd 0), and usually that works fine. /dev/sda is properly set up with the MBR and

Before reading below: I am considering a new install rather than an upgrade of our servers. However, now I just want to beat this problem. :) At 02:19 PM 7/8/2003 +0000, Phil Pennock wrote: >On 2003-07-08 at 14:09 +0000, Phil Pennock wrote: > > There was a fairly major update to the IDE disk device handlers which > > required new device nodes.

Hi folks, I inherited a very old computer (I guess about 8 years old) which I'd like to use for some training on CentOS. I downloaded images for CentOS 6.4 i386 (DVD 1 and 2) and burned them onto discs. After inserting DVD 1 into drive and booting, on the "Welcome to CentOS 6.4!" screen I select "Install or upgrade an existing system". I then skip the media test and

I have a server running CentOS 4.2 that works as a web/email with very heavy load. It runs Directadmin web gui which is like Cpanel. It runs on a cheapy mATX motherboard(ECS 741GX-M) with socket A 2800+ CPU and 2Gbyte DDR. The OS and data are on a 300Gbyte PATA maxtor drive and data backups are run weekly to another PATA drive. The server is overwelmed and data backups take over 5 hours to

Hello, I need help with grub. I've a PC that I've assembled by my self and the configuration is listed below. AMD Athlon 3600+ 1GB Kingstone RAM 80GB SATA & 40 GB PATA MSI Motherboard And the problem that I'm having is with my two Linux distros. Ive installed CentOS & Windows in my SATA HDD and I've used my complete 40GB PATA HDD for Ubuntu. Well all OS's

I have a couple of DVD drives (one drive, one burner) that used to play DVDs quite fine from 5.3 to somewhere in the 6.x branch. Nowadays I have to send them to PIO4 to play DVDs, because they'll just throw DMA not aligned errors around in UDMA33 or WDMA2 mode. Should someone be interested in this I'm willing to supply all necessary information, such as the exact drives, firmware

I'm trying to install CentOS 4 on an A8V on the PATA/Raid drives on the Promise controller. The Promise controller is recognized (sata_promise), but the PATA drives are not recognized. Base on this thread https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=147303 it seems that there is a patch which was merged in 2.6.11 to get pata working. Any ideas how to proceed? Thanks in advance
