Re: [CentOS] is CentOS an LSB certified product?
Herrold, I meant RH, in terms of the RHEL distro. I look forward to have centos gain the LSB, what is needed for the pass thru? is the main CentOS community interested? As for the rest, thank you for the sharing of info. The LSB should be concern to encourage developers to built stuff that can be used across distros. LSB should reduce problems of desktop users who have been finding difficulty in getting stuff like printer drivers and other paraphernalia. The more distros adopting LSB then more developers/manufacturers will be encouraged on the use of LSB.

Wow, this works beautifully since the last time I played with it. I
started rolling out clients in a test environment, and I'm very impressed.

The computer is on a local switch together with an older computer, which in turn communicates well at 25 MB/s with all the rest of the world. At Dell's they propose a hardware support, however not for that model. Nevertheless they support officially CentOS. That's why I asked whether anyone had encoutered the same problem already, and could perhaps provide a solution. Yours, Peter I would recommend looking at your network speed/duplex negotiation with your switch. I suspect your switch may be full duplex and your network card half or vice versa. Try forcing your network card to various speed/duplex settings (and your switch if it is a decent managed unit) and re-try your testing. This is the most common cause of network performance issues. cheers ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You libraries are probably still compiled for i686, you will have to recompile them too. So it would be more of a challenge to get things working.

Looks like the ebox 2300sx has a Vortex86sx chip, which is i486 compatible, not i686 like a default CentOS install/live. You might have to compile a new kernel for i486 architecture or use a different distro which is directly i486 compatible. Regards, Michel p.s. getting this to work on a 2300sx might be a challenge :) But CentOS doesn't support the i486.

[CentOS] booting usb stick
Hi all, I have been trying to get a usb stick 8G to boot centos. I am as far a it boots and hangs at "Switching to new root". I take the same USB stick and put it another PC and it boots fine. What might I look for as to why the machine hangs at switching to new root? Of course the machines are different. The one that does not boot is an ebox 2300sx and the one that does boot is an amd 4800+ with all disks unplugged except the USB stick. I am so close.

I have done this before, and found it to be a bit of a pain to make UNIX UID/GIDs, to ADS SID mappings the same on multiple machines. I had found a utility called wbuser , http://www.occam.com/tools/README.wbuser-1.1 , that could delete and add the UID to SID mappings but did not work for GID to SID mappings. Fortunately, I found that I could just copy the Trivial Data Base (TDB) file called winbind_idmap.tdb from one machine to all the others, and then start the samba smb and winbind daemons afterwards. Since all the machines have the same mappings, they can share nfs mounts and the file and directory ownerships are consistent across the multiple machines.
