Hello all, I am attempting to install CentOS 5.5 on a recently donated home server (was Windows). I've tried installing twice; first, separating /boot, swap, /, /var, /usr and /home into different partitions, the second time choosing default layout. Both times have resulted in "GRUB Hard Disk Error" upon boot. About the hard disk, it is a Seagate SATA drive. I do not have another

Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble with something and was wondering if anyone else has encountered this or knows what the problem is. I have one computer I would like to kickstart a centos 5.0 or 5.1 install.

Anyone point me in the direction of a good howto on kickstarting an 1850 or 2850 with the latest 4.x release - I presume one does not use a ks floppy anymore as the kernel would be too big ? thanks

Has there been sufficient discussion about these pages? Am I able to rename them to move them from my directory to the TipsAndTricks directory? Or should they go to HowTos? -------------------- Ed Heron

Hello, I seem to recall from my redhat5/6/7 days that certain installation methods used for kickstarting only invoked text mode install. Now I read that graphical install is default in kickstart on el5/6. However, in my test environment (with older HP DL140G3) I only get text mode install up, even if I specify graphical in kickstart file, with both nfs and http install methods. There's no

I've written a short howto on creating and mounting an encrypted filesystem using dm-crypt. The doc currently lives on our internal wiki (Trac) at work, but I'd love to rewrite and post for a general readership. I suppose the proposed URL would be something like http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/EncryptedFilesystem -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <>

Hello, I'm trying to setup a CentOS-4.3 kickstart. When vmlinuz is loading, a message appears "Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue." I am kickstarting via a USB flash drive. From the i386 ISO image #1, I am using vmlinuz from the isolinux directory. I have grabbed the vmlinuz file from a couple different mirrors just in case the one I had originally

Thanks to XenSource's shiny new ASP Website all external links to www.xensource.com broke. So the link on http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/Xen to http://www.xensource.com/files/xensummit_4/Xenpvfb07_Armbruster.pdf is also broken.

I use named virtual hosts on my web servers, as I'm sure many others do. I'm used to the method of using a vhost directory for the container files. I didn't find documentation for it in the CentOS docs or the Apache docs. I'm not sure if I should take it as a hint that it is depreciated... If I've missed something, please point me to it. I've written a quick
