[CentOS] serial console oddities with CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final)

2011-11-20 Thread Dennis Clarke
It seems as if /etc/inittab has undergone some changes. That doesn't seem to be related to my issues however. I am able to setup the grub.conf ( menu.lst if you like ) to use the serial console ttyS0 at 9600 baud and the usual bits. However I can not actually see the GRUB menu at boot time. I

Nope, doesn't work for me still. It's the root partition I'm trying to resize so if I delete then recreate to larger size, partprobe still fails then if I reboot it won't start as it can't find the root partition. As Barry suggested, I don't think you can reread the root partition. --Russell

[CentOS] 2 network card setup

2011-11-20 Thread Johan Vermeulen
Dear all, I have a question regarding 2 network card setup, when e.g. using dhcp. Until a few months ago, I worked with OpenSuse. There in firewall config, you had to assign each NIC to a zone, either internal, external, DMZ or custom. Without it not much would work. I don't seen anything on
