Amazon (or perhaps Amazon's configuration of Xen) forces a machine to come up at run level 4, regardless of what's in /etc/inittab. I've looked through /etc/rc.sysinit and /etc/rc.d/rc, to determine which (if any script) looks at /proc/cmdline and forces a particular run level, but to no avail. It seems that /sbin/init does the forcing. Can anyone confirm that /sbin/init reads

hi all, on centos 5 - I could trim the number of mingetty's running by editing /etc/inittab on centos 6 there are none in the /etc/inittab file but it reverences /etc/init/tty.conf. I dont see in there how to control how many mingetty's get started. Where is that? THanks, Jerry

my inittab file has 5 for starting x on centos 6 however x is not starting what do i look for as why x is not starting ? it doesnt even attempt to start that i can tell no screen flashing or anything jerry

Under the old C6 I put an entry in rc.local to run my programs I want. We will call it /path/boot.sh Worked fine. Under C7 I have created a new service file for systemd. It looks like: --------------- [Unit] Description=Company After=network.target [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/path/boot.sh [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ----------- For the most part this works every time on boot.

Is there any "formal" mechanizism by which after a yum update , and kernel change that "drivers" can automatically be recompiled and a service restarted? Do I need to make my own? Thanks, Jerry

Hi *, as this is my first post I want to say hello to everybody. Well, and unfortunatly I''ve already got a question for you: I''ve installed a guest domain (OS: CentOS 4) on my xen-machine and it''s para-virtualised (just to provide the information ;) ). After the installation and mount the image containing the guest to copy the necessary modules for the xen-kernel,

When booting a CentOS4 domU, I''m getting some errors in the /etc/sysinit file. I''ve read that some edits are required in this file, but cannot find any specific references. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a workaround? EXT2-fs warning (device sda1): ext2_fill_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.

I really wants to know. When I start "xm create fc3 -c" but always maintenance mode. Is someone kind enough to point whats wrong with me? Configfiles are like this. kernel ="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1177_FC4xenU" memory =128 name = "fc3" nics = 1 disk = [''file:/root/fedora.img,hda2,w''] ip="210.166.211.245"

I installed xen 3.3.0 on a etch box from sources. I just modified the standard kernel cause of some hardware drivers. I installed xen-tools from backports (3.9-3~bpo40+1). To create a domU ist not the problem. I can connect via ssh and everything works fine. But when i start a domU with "xm create host.example.tld.cfg -c" to login to console from domU it hangs after the message

Hi all; On OS Hardening ( http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection ) there's a section on "Physical Protection" that includes requiring a single-user mode password. There's four lines that look something like this: echo "Require the root pw when booting into single user mode" >> /etc/inittab echo "~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin" >> /etc/inittab echo

Is there a way to disable the keyboard and mouse ports? I have a machine in a public area running an application that no-one needs to touch. However, someone could come up and plug a keyboard in it and mouse and be logged in as that user (not root). Is there a way to disable the mouse and keyboard so only remote ssh connections will control the PC if changes need to be made. This would also

Help! I hosed my system and did a restore from a backup but when I boot, I get an error no inittab file found. Where can I get a 5.2, 'stock' inittab file not in a rpm so I can use a rescue disk to create this file? Or if possible, could someone please post their's for me? TIA

To continue here with problems on this compaq v2000 laptop, I put kernel source on a USB disk and plugged it into the v2000. NOTHING IS recognized. I tried to manually mount the disk and nothing either... I thought USB was well established.... I thought trying to recompile the kernel for realtek support might get my networking going... I am stuck??? Jerry -------------- next part

Hi there, I've been using ext3 on RedHat 7.1 for some time and I'm very pleased with the result. Thanks for all the hard work people have put in it! I have however one problem: when the machine boots up it tries to load the mcd and mcdx CD-ROM drivers (AFAIK they are old non-standard CD-ROMs). It does this from rc.sysinit right after loading usb devices. The machine started to do

Hi, I've tried to setup a new DomU on Lenny and I'm a little bit confused on which device names I should use for disks and console in the various DomU-kernels? Is it correct that: 2.6.18-xen-kernel from Etch start with no "extra" tty1 in /etc/inittab /dev/sd for disks 2.6.26-xen-kernel from Lenny: start with no "extra" hvc0 in /etc/inittab /dev/xvd for disks
