Hi all; Some of you may have seen on -devel that I've been playing with CentOS 5 on an i586 machine, and several people have displayed interest in the steps I've taken to compile a kernel and deploy it. I'm not quite sure where this would best go, so any guidance would be appreciated. I was guessing that http://wiki.centos.org/Projects/CentOS5PentiumSupport would be the best location

While I know that, technically, the only i586 machines are the Pentium and Pentium MMX, it is still nice that I can use some headless AMD K6/2 machines I have lying around for CentOS 4. Many thanks for the effort expended to get that working. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu

I plan to install CentOS 4.3 on some older IBM Netfinity which have Pentium III chips. I see that there is now a i586 pxeboot image for 4.3, I think that's new. Can I use that for Pentium III? Kai

I've just attempted to reinstall my ancient laptop that has Pentium MMX processor. Since it is ancient, I've decided to go with CentOS 2.1. Got stuck, installer claims I need at least i686. Hmmm... I know that 3.8 and 4.4 work without a glitch on i586, so this came as surprise. I even thing original RHEL2.1 might had support for i586 too (but I might be wrong). Anyhow, what

It makes me a little nervous updating the T43 page or my homepage. I don't want to spam anyone. Cheers, Cody Jackson

I created a i586 install image with qemu. I downloaded the SRPMS package for the kernel and installed it. I cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpmbuild -bp --target i586 kernelXXX.spec I does a bunch of things but it did not build a new kernel and put it in /boot I think I am missing a command to actually BUILD the kernel. What is it? Thanks, Jerry

Are there plans to release kernel-2.6.9-67.0.15.plus.c4.i586.rpm ?? Thanks, Barry

My three basement machines got upgraded to 2.6.9-34.EL by nightly yum cron job. The two i686 seem to be fine. However, on the old i586 machine I got hole bunch of warnings. Haven't attempted rebooting it with new kernel yet. The warnings are: WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.9-34.EL/kernel/drivers/edac/amd76x_edac.ko needs unknown symbol edac_mc_del_mc WARNING:

I've updated CentOS 4.0 to 4.1 on several machines (some desktops, some servers).

Please ignore (and excuse) my previous message - it is incomplete. I'm trying to get R and ESS to work with Xemacs on a newly installed SuSE 9.0 system. Is some setup required beyond installing the rpms?

I have a strange situation. I am using centos 4.6 i586 with alsa 1.0.17 and asterisk 1.4.21.1 (only the console/dsp or soudn port). running centos 4.6 asterisk will seg fault after awhile. running debian edge with the same installed packages it does not seg fault. running x86_64 centos 4.6 and 5.2 asterisk does not seg fault. What might be going on with centos i586 that it is causing asterisk to

Hi, I've been trying to get the G.729a beta codec running with my remote Asterisk box that talks IAX2 to my local Asterisk box. Digium fixed the problem I was having in registering the beta codec, so that now works fine. I've removed the old codec_g729b.so from /usr/lib/asterisk/modules and put in place the codec_g729a.so beta from digium FTP. My CVS build of Asterisk is about a

I have Centos 4.4 i386 installed an on i686. I tried making a mini-test live cd based on this install that just starts bash but it only works on i686 machines and not i586. I only have i386 glibc and all other packages are i386. I copied all of the necessary .so files. I even manually compiled bash using -march=i386 & -mtune=i386 but it will only run on i686. Can anyone explain why?
