Hello, In case anyone is interested, here are the source code for comboot and com32 modules for powering down a computer using APM. I started work on the ACPI version of it, but it will take some time to parse the spec.

Hello, The attached l32or64.c implements a com32 module that boots two different kernels with different initrds depending on whether the cpu has long mode support or not. I stumbled upon two problems while developing it with current git version (last commit 595705ffad4f63cfeb84e9bb1243df03808c2fff). The first was that syslinux_boot_linux didn't work for me. Both the command line and initrd

Hello, These are implementations of strverscmp, scandir, alphasort and versionsort, and some test cases for them. I know these aren't in POSIX, but they're useful, nonetheless, and someone else might be interested in them.

Hello, The main function in com32/modules/chain.c does a lot of argument parsing, finding the drivename, partition, seg, etc., for two statements nullifying most of the work: drivename = argv[1]; partition = argv[2]; /* Possibly null */ Seeing as the function initializes the variables correctly at the beginning: drivename = "boot"; partition = NULL; shouldn't these

Hello, ifcpu64.c has the following comment: * append boot_kernel_64 [-- boot_kernel_32pae] -- boot_kernel_32 Also in NEWS: (and optionally 32-bit kernels with or without PAE.) However, if one doesn't specify boot_kernel_32pae but only boot_kernel_64 and boot_kernel_32, and if the CPU doesn't have support for PAE, args[2] will be executed unconditionally, with no check for if

Hi there, I''ve read the paper on Xen live migration, and it shows some very impressive figures, like 165ms downtime on a running web server, and 50ms for a quake3 server. I installed CentOS 5 on 2 servers, each with 2x Xeon E5335 (quad-core), 2x Intel 80003ES2LAN Gb NICs. Then I installed 2 DomUs, also with CentOS 5. One NIC is connected to the LAN (on the same switch and VLAN), the

Hello, I was using a bunch of cpios in initramfs as a working system, and wondering why the unused files weren't being paged out to swap. So I reread ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt and now I know. So I wrote the attached utility. It creates a tmpfs, moves all files on the initramfs, moves / and executes the real init. It works, even with hardlinks, but it isn't the correct approach. Have

Under xen, either stock xen-2.0.1+linux-2.6.9 or Fedora''s latest (2.6.10-1.1109_FC4), drdb (<http://www.drbd.org/>),as soon as I try to write to one of its devices, causes "Badness" in the kernel and, ultimately, a spontaneous reboot. Under non-xen 2.6.10-1.1109_FC4 and 2.6.9-1.678_FC3, drbd works fine. The error: Jan 25 21:01:23 turing kernel: Badness in blk_plug_device

Hi, First things first, sorry for the off-topic, but I've already burned my eyes Googling and couldn't find the answer to what I need and I remembered asking here, because I'm a long time CentOS and its mailing list user. Again, my apologies. I have this command to create an FTP account: # pure-pw useradd mario -u 502 -g 502 -n 1000 -N 200 -d /home/pages/mario This command asks for

Maybe this is a silly question, but i have a few million files i need to delete but i can't just reformat the volume. Right now the fastest thing i can think of is nice -20 rm -Rf /folder-i-want-to-delete is there a better or faster way to do this? Thanks, Jamie

Hi all, I have received a fair number of bug reports over the last few weeks -- even days -- and I am therefore declaring 3.53-pre5 a release candidate for a 3.53 bug fix release. This 3.53 will not contain either of the two major features under development -- client side state (including boot-once) and gPXE integration -- since I want to avoid destabilizing the code base beyond the bug

Hi! In the release notes it is said RHDS will replace OpenLDAP. However, I can only find OpenLDAP in CentOS5. I tried to google the web but it returned nothing useful. Does anyone know about this?

Hi, I am trying to set up a firewall rule so calls to old_mailserver:25 get redirected to localhost:25. I have seen quite a few rules and none seem to work. I have tried with the firewall enabled (configured to allow smtp) and disabled, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. One of the commands I have been using is: /sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -d old_mailserver_ip/32
