My apologies in advance for asking such an elementary question. I called myself searching the Installation Guide and Deployment Guide, with no success. The situation is that I bought a Lite-On ATAPI iHAP122 that will not burn DVDs unless I use hdparm to turn dma off. I bought that drive because it was a rare beige drive. Until I can find a decent DVD burner and/or get a Windows machine put

Hi Gang, I recently rented a server at a datacenter with Centos 5.7 X64, Q9550 Processor, 8GB Ram, and dual 250GB SATA HDs (with 16mb cache). They had loaded it with KVM, and installed a 30-day trial of Virtualizor as the front-end for KVM. I was so impressed with how fasts the guests ran that I want to build a few of these machines for myself. I just installed one: same Q9550 processor, 4GB

Hi all, When I ran the experiments to compare an application''s execution time in both a domU (named cctest1) and a native Linux machine (named ccn10), I noticed the application executes faster in domU. The host of the domU (named ccn9) and ccn10 are two nodes of a cluster and they have same hardware configurations. domU (cctest1) is created by exporting loopback files from dom0 on

I upgraded my Centos 4.7 server last night. Switched from a cheaper 50$ asus motherboard to a Supermicro motherboard. I also, using dd, copied entire 500g SATA seagate drive to new 500g SATA seagate drive so as to have two copies in case something went wrong. Anyway, now I keep getting this error: Nov 21 06:08:33 server kernel: hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Nov 21 06:08:33 server

Hi, I'm getting horrible performance on my samba server, and I am unsure of the cause after reading, benchmarking, and tuning. My server is a K6-500 with 43MB of RAM, standard x86 hardware. The OS is Slackware 10.0 w/ 2.6.7 kernel I've had similar problems with the 2.4.26 kernel. I use samba version 3.0.5. I've listed my partitions below, as well as the drive models. I have a

Hi there: As suggested in the docs, I am forwarding a bug report. I have just converted two partitions to ext3 from ext2 without reformatting on my home box. All is not well, however. Here's the specs AMD K6/2-3D 500 Mhz, 64MB SDRAM, 100 Mhz bus Via Apollo P5MPV3 chipset, 100 Mhz bus Opti Mad 16 931 soundcard Video= AGP S3 Trio, w/8MB RAM, PS/2 mouse.

Hi... I have a Dell Latitute with an ATA/ATAPI-5 T13 1321D and it would seem that my disk access is extremely slow. I have the latest updated kernel from RedHat 8.0 kernel 2.4.18-27.8.0. Somehow I think it is related to the UDMA stuff (shows my level of understanding). I have run hdparm and although I think I should at least udma level 5, I have at most udma2 listed. Is this a kernel

I recently moved my CentOS 4.5 disk from a Lenovo ThinkCentre M52 (3.2 GHz Pentium 4) to a Lenovo ThinkCentre M55 (3.4 GHz Core 2 Duo). I had to install the SMP kernel, but other than that everything just worked. I did have an issue with accidentally initializing my /boot partition, but that was my own fault. But the system was not feeling right. Some things just seemed to be slower,

Hi folks, I have an HP Proliant 140DL G2 server with what appears to be an IDE drive in non-DMA mode. Performance on the server is extremely bad when large amounts of disk activity is taking place. I think the problem is that my drive is not in DMA mode: # hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 0 (off)

Latest wine, ubuntu 9.04 I'm trying to install Tron 2.0, but, when it asks for the second CD, wine eject fails. It takes the command, but doesn't seem to actually do anything. Outside of the installer, though, wine eject does work. I've tried launching the installer all of the different ways listed in the FAQ also; all wouldn't work. Is there some fix for this, or a way to do it

I am compiling xen from source and each time I do a `make world` it basically gives some or the other error my problem are not those errors ( I am trying to debug them) but the problem is each time when I do a `make world` Xen basically pulls things from git repository    + rm -rf linux-2.6-pvops.git linux-2.6-pvops.git.tmp    + mkdir linux-2.6-pvops.git.tmp    + rmdir linux-2.6-pvops.git.tmp  

Hello List, i am trying to boot a 2.6.28 vanilla kernel as a DomU. This is some of my config: ---------------------------------------------- root = ''/dev/xvda2 ro'' disk = [ ''drbd:pgone,xvda2,w'', ''phy:/dev/vg/pgone-swap,xvda1,w'',

At the moment I'm installing world of warcraft, which has 5 disks and the expansion which has another 4 disks. Now it works nicely, until the installation program asks me for disk 2. On windows it ejects automatically, but here it doesn't. It doesn't even eject when i try using the konsole command ( wine eject ). If I do that, the program says ( Cannot open device for drive e: ).

Hello all, I am new to this list and hope that my mail is not OFF TOPIC. After looking around for 2 months now, to find a solution, I will try it here now. Now the scenario: I bought a new cool dell laptop: INSPIRON 8100, 512MB RAM, NVIDEA GeForce2Go 32MB, 30GB Hitachi hard disk and a DVD. I bought it with WinME preinstalled, because it wasn't possible to get it with linux nor without an

I have created my own install DVD with a custom kickstart file and modified the isolinux.cfg file to allow the system to boot off of the hard disk as the default mode. It will also use my kickstart file if I select it. Now I would like to make the system not eject the DVD after reboot. The machines I am installing on do not have a motorized tray that can automatically pull the DVD back in when a

Is there a way to get to get past the cga type centos 4 install screen where it says To begin testing the cd media etc etc...... and shows the OK or SKIP selections... ...and get to a "text shell command prompt" and *eject* the cd so I can reboot the machine from remote??? I have a remote console drac connection, yet for once we sent the hired guns home for the weekend and I am a

At the present moment, my guest is running inside qemu and host is kvm intel, running Ubuntu 14.04, kernel is 4.3.0 stable. From within the guest, when I run "hdparm -i /dev/sdb" on the guest, I get: HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument as the error,but on the host, I will get the full harddisk/SSD info. Can I know how to resolve this so that the output is the same for both
