Hi all According to a report made in #centos, the procedure described at http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-sun-oracle-java-jdk-jre-7-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/ works OK for jdk 1.7 It looks pretty similar to http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaRuntimeEnvironment so I updated our page to reflect the fact the jre-1.7 can be installed using the procedure already

Please (particularly Smooge) review and comment on the new content at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide Based heavily on the pieces I added earlier to http://wiki.centos.org/Migration/5 Tried to keep it general.

I've installed ipw2200-firmware-3.0-3.nodist.rf from RPMForge using yum OK. I've loaded the ipw modules with /sbin/modprobe ipw2200 and then /sbin/lsmod | grep ipw which gives: ipw2200 136873 0 ieee80211 33417 1 ipw2200 However, when I run system-config-network I don't see Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG (eth1) in the list of adapters. Also, when I

Create the ref_bo without any storage type flags set for now. The issue probably arises from our use of the additional buffer space at the end of the ref_bo. It should probably be split up in the future.

I have some suggested tweaks and changes to http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 1. The user should be instructed to start rescue mode with networking in order to be able to retrieve the patch for mkinitrd. 2. The command to create /etc/mdadm.conf will result in an extra line "spares=1" while the array is still syncing. Adding " | head -1 " to the

Anyone else having problems with 4.2 with the boot hanging at Initializing hardware... storage network ? Booting to single user or typing 'I' for interactive startup does not help. Not a timeout problem - hangs 'forever' - days at least. Did a complete reinstall and rebooted OK, did updates and the boot started hanging again. Same problem with either the 4.2 standard

A question on authorship and attribution policy for the Wiki. I originally credited Alan Bartlett for the page content on HowTos/ConfigureNewVideoCard, but he was not comfortable with that and the reference got removed in the edit process. I generally do not include my name on Wiki pages I create, but it is fairly common practice. Should there be a statement in the Guidelines covering this

The array then mounts unpredictably in /media/xxx-sdc1 or sdd1 - not what is wanted - depend on how many removable devices are plugged at the time of rebooting. Of course, a single
