similar to: kickstart - how do I specify I20_block driver

I'm trying to install either 32-bit or 64 bit centos 4.3 and I keep getting an error: "No valid devices were found on which to install filesystems". In checking BIOS and RAID, everything seems fine, but I just found some research about I20. An alternative would be the i2o_blocks module. How can I install CentOS 4.3 x86_64 using i2o_blocks? How do I instruct the boot prompt to

If I execute these via command line, will they persist after a reboot? Or, should I be putting these into a file like /etc/sysctl.conf? --------------snip-------------- /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog=2048 /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout=30 /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl=10 /sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes=7 /sbin/sysctl -w

Hi, Running a bunch of CentOS servers on 2U supermicro equipment, usually with 8 drives on Adaptec SmartRAID V or LSI Megaraid. In designing a rack in a data center, the question arises as to how to measure the amperage the server uses, prior to investing in power drops that actually do that for you, even remotely, for about $260.00-300USD per unit. This number is the important one these days

Hey, someone just told me yesterday that I can give my machine an initial IP address, gateway, dns server, and netmask via command line like this: linux ks=http://www.mydomain.com/kick.ks ip=192.168.1.5 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.1 dns=192.168.1.10 Is this true? Is the syntax wrong or right? If so, and I call my kick.ks file and it has install cdrom it'll pull the files

I will install CentOS 4.3 and downloaded the driver disk from Dell for RedHat Enterprise Linux 4: Description: Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller 5 Device Driver for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0, X86 & X86_64 I saw a few minutes ago that the driver disk is extracted within /tmp/ramfs/DD-01. Therfore I know that the network is working correct. I will try to extract the module and insmod/modprobe

>From the local machine the following command is executed: /usr/local/bin/rsync -aHnuv serverX:/ / --exclude-from=/rsync.exclude --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync --ignore-existing > /var/tmp/rsync.stdout 2> /var/tmp/rsync.stderr I have never used the rsync command. The above command was used by a former sysadmin to "synchronize" two servers. However when I ran the command

ok - I tried this too. But CentOS tries to find the floppy as /dev/hda which is not the device for the USB-Floppy. Dell ships one with the server because no one is integrated. So when I try to include the driver disk the installer is not able to find it. -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] Im Auftrag von Jim Perrin Gesendet:

Hi! We're using Samba as PDC, and recently had a strange crash on the system (none of the NT-machines authenticated anymore). I re-created the user database and passwords on the server (TurboLinux 2.2.14-5, with Samba 2.0.6 & 2.1alpha for auth.) and also re-newed the profiles making 'em local on the NT-workstations. Sometimes when the NT-PC gets rebooted, I can't authenticate it

Hello: The documentation does not have the following use cases very well defined or described. I have created a PDF file that Tinc-VPN can use to public and I would be happy to make more PDF files for usage with the examples on the web site. There are 2 pages in the PDF file attached, the first page is a production setup and the page is a test setup wholly contained within a single server. IS

Hey I need to run some pgp commands, -what's the name of the package supported by Centos that will allow me to work with pgp? I need to run pgp --fingerprint key.name or it's equivalent. Pro question. Google searches didn't show much, tried to search for pgp, gnupg, openpgp, pgp on centos, openpgp on centos, centos/pgp. No worthy results came back. Any advice? -karlski

Hello. I have a Problem with creating a GPO on Samba. Each time I try to create a new one, it shows "The security id may not be assigned as the owner of this object". I've already checked the sysvol-folder and it seems to have the correct permissions. I also checked the Account-Permissions (I'm the build-in Administrator, when trying this) and I also checked the connection

Hi, after reading the docs (no man page) and seeing a few example howtos, I see none for Centos specifically. I hereby offer to write this and even host it, and any other wiki-able howto you want, if you can school me on the first few steps relevant to how to link up the current rpmforge rpm for RHEL4-64. See, right now, the one for centos loads into the /usr/share/doc, which is an odd place

while i'm on a Centos5 kick, I was just curious if I simply needed to add a repo or if building these was a matter of waiting in terms of Centos5. Am trying hard to stay away from Fedora if possible... -krb

Hi, What's the best/safest way to "cat" the following job into crontab? */3 * * * * /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_megaraid_passive.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 I am used to doing this manually via crontab -e, but now I simply have too many centos servers to build in a given week (get to toss another 120K at some more 2U chenbro/tyan/amd64's -w000ooo). -karlski

hey, any way I can install X onto the 'minimal build' via yum? I'd just reinstall, but am working with a 2TB system and it would take hours to re-do. Just curious... yum install __________________ I have rpmforge installed, so at least i'm pointed at the dag repos. -karl

Is it difficult to build cobbler on Centos or should I just go with Fedora on this one? Basically, if you have experience succeeeding at this, can you drop me a link to a Howto or describe the issues? I am only writing this because I tried, and ran into quite a few dependency issues with upstream/downstream packages, and would rather concentrate on just getting a nice working Cobbler (and

Hello All; I'm attempting to build the dahdi on an OpenVZ instance: Linux serverx 2.6.18-274.7.1.el5.028stab095.1 #1 SMP Mon Oct 24 20:49:24 MSD 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Now, the kernel says that I have the proper one installed, as you can see from above.

I am currently in the progress of testing the replacement of a Windows 2003 DC with a Samba4-based one. In the DNS of old Windows DC we had CNAME entries to alias www.domain.com to serverX.domain.com and ftp.domain.com to serverY.domain.com. This is working and can be tested successfully with dig The CNAME entries were correctly replicated across to the internal DNS server on the new Samba4 DC

To extend space on our 64-bit centos FTP servers, we are considering setting them up to work with an existing PromiseRAID system via iscsi. -just curious if anyone here knows if iScsi is fast enough to serve up all the images? -might it be something where we get dedicated cards and put the iScsi traffic on its own Vlan? Just curious if this would hold up under alot of traffic, like weather

Hi, I'm just curious about setting up a new VPN here in the office part of our enterprise, as well as a second in our 75+ node data center co-location facility. Needing to stomp out the ****dows L2TP node here, just too many side-issues with config. I'd like it to run the same OS as all of our servers, e.g. Centos 4.3. Any recommedations on which software/server/client
