I believe that'd be handled in the append line as well. If your diskless client has 2 NICs - could that be confusing things? You could try adding the line: IPAPPEND 2 to your

Hey CentOS list! I've got an oddity with a diskless client setup that I suspect is the result of the initrd.img I'm using, or some parameter I'm unaware -- or I need to build my own initrd image (and could use some assistance on what has to be done in that department) Testbed is defined as: VM A: ip: 192.168.250.10 with dhcp server, tftp server, nfs server VM B: pxeboot VM,

OK, it seems that the kernel I have (stock CentOS 4.7: 2.6.9-78.0.22.EL i686) seems to gronk the nVideo SATA controller in AHCI mode. It is NOT able to deal with the SATA DVD Burner I have. It is a "Sony Optiarc DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model AD-7241S-0B LightScribe Support". Is there some special magic I need to do? Here is the relevant bit from the boot up (SATA ports

I am trying to run my old CentOS4.8 (32-bit) system as a guest system under CentOS5.4xen (64-bit). I followed the instructions in Appendix A of the xen user manual (/usr/share/doc/xen-3.0.3/pdf/user.pdf) and created a 'disk image' (actually a 10gig LVM logical volume: sauron.deepsoft.com% sudo fdisk -l /dev/mapper/sauron-c4guest Disk /dev/mapper/sauron-c4guest: 10.7 GB, 10737418240

I sent this out about a week or so ago, but I have heard nothing. I am *thinking* it is a SELINUX problem, but I cannot figure out what. The SELINUX settings for both machines are *exactly* the same (the stock defaults for a standard CentOS 6 install). The *only* difference is that the desktop (sauron) has a few VMs setup (under KVM) and the laptop (gollum) does not. The desktop has an AMD

I have not yet found a USB-to-serial adapter detected as /dev/ttyACM1.

I am planning to increase the disk space on my desktop system. It is running CentOS 5.9 w/XEN. I have two 160Gig 2.5" laptop (2.5") SATA drives in two slots of a 4-slot hot swap bay configured like this: Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End

I am in the process of migrating my desktop system from 32-bit CentOS 4.8 to 64-bit CentOS 5.4. One of the things I want to be able to do is boot my IBM Thinkpad X25 laptop via its PXEBoot ROM over the LAN (it has a hard disk and boot locally just fine, I just want a way to boot it for rescue and/or new O/S installs). On my 32-bit CentOS 4.8 this works just fine. It also works on another

OK, I did this once, several years ago, but I have to do it again, and I cant figure out what this stupid error message is trying to say. I am executing system-config-netboot trying to create a diskless client for a diskless boot I constantly get a popup, with different error messages. I try to 'fix' something, and I get a different popup. The current one says: You

I am trying to install a CentOS 6.4 x86_64 VM using a CentOS 5.9 x86_64 host, but its install has froze *twice*. What I am doing is to create a 10gig LVM volume, which I put a MS-DOS partition table on (using fdisk). I then format the only partition to ext3, install grub and install the pxeboot kernel and initrd.img and a simple grub.conf to load this. I have the CentOS 6.4 x86_64 ISOs mounted

I am using pxeboot (syslinux) 1.75 and I'm attempting to boot diskless with the pxeboot.0 system. The system boots, downloads the pxeboot.0, the kernel and then the screen turns to garbage. Does anyone know what this is/how to fix this? Thanks. -- Paul Slinski System Administrator Global IQX http://www.globaliqx.com/ pauls at globaliqx.com

I have two computers: both running CentOS 6.7, 64-bit, with kernel 2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64. One is a laptop with an 2 core Intel processor and the other is a desktop machine with a 4 core AMD processor. Both with selinux enabled. I have a USB serial port device (a RR-CirKits LCC-Buffer USB). On the desktop I am getting this error: sauron.deepsoft.com% sudo minicom Device /dev/ttyACM0

This is slightly off topic since I am all the way upto the login prompt, but I appeal to you all because you probably have experience in this: I am passing a diskless workstation a compressed root filesystem that is copied from a server (chopped down). I am only intereted in text consoles being available on the client (runlevel 3). The diskless workstation goes well up to the login: RedHat

Hello, I've had quite a few requests for this info, so I thought I'd copy this to the list as well. Since I don't really monitor the list anymore, queries should be directed back to me if you have problems.

Hi, today I burned some cds on my win XP machine. The data resides on my Linux server running Debian, selfmade kernel 2.6.8.1 and samba 3.0.6.

Executive summary: I am installing a UPS with NUT on Ubuntu for the first time. I could follow the instructions up to "testing shutdowns" but on executing the recommended command the computer shuts down and never comes back on, contrary to what the instructions suggest. I am also seeing regular broadcast messages on the console that the UPS is unavailable (and in the? syslog that
