OK, just for the record, I have upgraded 3 more machines to CentOS5.2
- a P4 Compaq D51S - new kernel runs OK
- a PII Compaq Deskpro EN - new kernel runs OK
- another 2*PIII Compaq ProLiant 3000 server - kernel crashes (somewhat 
expected, as the machine
  is almost identical to that I initially reported)

This probably means that there is some other none-CentOS package that
has a dependency on the old perl package. Do you have any special perl
packages installed ?

Here's my notes from working with our SAN. Please check thoroughly as
these instructions worked for me but I had to learn this from scratch
and there maybe mistakes. One thing I never figured how to achieve was
to rescan an existing ISCSI device for changes if you resize a partition
on the SAN. I have always had to reboot to get the new partition size to
be seen.

###

Add your partitions For this example I created 2 partitions

Let the running kernel see the new partitions

# partprobe

fdisk /dev/mapper/mpath2

We need to tell the mapper about the new partitions

To automatically mount a file system during startup
you must have the partition entry in /etc/fstab marked with the
"_netdev"
option. For example this would mount a iscsi disk sdb:

/dev/sdb /mnt/iscsi ext3 _netdev 0 0


NOTES WHEN USING LVM WITH MULTIPATH

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/en-US/RHEL51
0/DM_Multipath/multipath_logical_volumes.html

When you create an LVM logical volume that uses active/passive multipath
arrays as the underlying physical devices, you should include filters in
the lvm.conf to exclude the disks that underlie the multipath devices.
This is because if the array automatically changes the active path to
the passive path when it receives I/O, multipath will failover and
failback whenever LVM scans the passive path if these devices are not
filtered. For active/passive arrays that require a command to make the
passive path active, LVM prints a warning message when this occurs.

To filter all SCSI devices in the multipath configuration file
(lvm.conf), include the following filter in the devices section of the
file. 


filter = [ "r/disk/", "r/sd.*/", "a/.*/" ]

A filter to allow sda but disallow all other sd* drives


filter = [ "a|/dev/sda|","r/disk/", "r/sd.*/", "a/.*/" ]


CREATE LVM on top of a SAN MULTI PATH

vi /etc/lvm/lvm.conf

#preferred_names = [ ]
# DAP
 preferred_names = [ "^/dev/mpath/", "^/dev/[hs]d" ]

#   filter = [ "a/.*/" ]
# DAP
filter = [ "a|/dev/sda|","r/disk/", "r/sd.*/", "a/.*/" ]

If there's already a link to a directory, you need -n (usually);

   -n, --no-dereference
treat destination that is a symlink to a directory as if
it were a normal file

Otherwise, you'll end up with a rogue link inside the existing directory:

Sorry. Stupid question again: and if I find inconsistencies, then the
only way to force rpm to correct them yould be something like

yum remove offendingPackage
yum install offendingPackage

or the equivalent rpm-commands?

Currently the machine behaves quite strange:
 - Boots OK
 - Lets users log in and most applications work
 - Firefox works only for root
 - yumex hangs at starting
 - "man rpm" says XXX WARNING: old character encoding and/or character set

All this leads me to the conclusion that there are only some selected
packages corrupt (and I don't want to reinstall the machine). Would
Installing/Repairing from DVD help?

Ummm... not quite. Addressing several posts I saw in this thread.

First. There is no *unique* 5.1, 5.2, ... As posted on this list many
times, and probably in FAQs, these nomenclatures only represent a time
and content based snapshot of some upgrades to the system. Associated
with this snapshot is a manifest. If you add any updates 5.1, you may
have a 5.1 with some 5.2 stuff in it. The result is not a 5.2 because
the manifest is incomplete.

It's not a 5.1 because 5.1, by definition, does not contain the packages
updates you have applied. That being said ...

Yes you'll be on 5.1 because you have not achieved 5.2!  ;-)

Regardless. You will find the manual labor of selectively applying the
updates to be not worthwhile after a while. And at some point you may
not be able to apply some that you need/desire because prerequisites
that are needed are not installed.

Further, regardless of 5.1 or 5.2, as soon as any update is applied, you
are no longer on that release because the manifest is on your system no
longer matches 5.x. But as "hoomons", we conveniently ignore this
distinction and commonly use phrase such as "fully updated 5.x".

It is a useful concept for communication shorthand, but that's all it
is.

Anyway, overall doing selective security-only updates is a bad idea IMO.

To the inquisitor: no I also am not an official CentOS person. So what?

To concerns about FF: there is an officially released 3.0. I used the
b5, the one released by upstream with 5.2. It has its problems. Get the
real 3.0 release, put it in your home dir, update your desktop icons to
point at it, and get the benefits. Even the release candidate 2 I'm
running ATM is much better than the beta.

Plugins: mine finds it and others. Check out the various instructions
related to installation (they're copious). Key: .mozilla/pluginreg.dat
and .mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat. Not to be edited manually normally.

If you have the "local install" 3.0 in your home dir, interesting places
are here ~/firefox/plugins. Also, for system-wide install, interesting
things are in /usr/lib/mozilla and /usr/lib/firefox.

However, the most interesting place are the various installation and
setup instructions.

No, but he is right. This discussion happens *every* time a point
release comes out, it is archived in the mailing list archives, it is in
the FAQs on http://wiki.centos.org/.

You *CANNOT* stay on 5.1 except if you never type "yum update" again.

Yes, it contains rsyslog which is not enabled (or installed) by default.
Install rsyslog, configure it, remove the old syslog and start rsyslog.

There's your problem! You have to be a half-wit for those books. The
fact that you have the the incentive to read a book means you are *not*

Keep in mind that *some* inconsistencies are expected. Local config
files being one good example. You must look at the codes displayed in
the output, and possibly the files, to be sure it is really a
discrepancy.

Not the only way, but probably the safest. However, that may try to also
remove some dependencies, depending on the package you're trying to
remove.

I seem to recall a "force" parameter that is available for rpm and yum.
Although normally disparaged, this is a perfect situation for its use.

Depending on your time-frame, this may be a symptom of the load on the
servers you access. Yesterday A.M. I saw *BIG* delays downloading the
xml(?) files. But I use yum CLI, so I see the blood-n-guts on the
screen.  GUIs suck... in general

Maybe. But some of the rpms might be on your system from the update
activities. Do and updatedb and then a locate .rpm. You may see some
in /var/cache/yum. Subdirs under it might have what you need.

I know. I compared with the verify-output from a working machine. For
my theory ("there are different rpm-packages on the disk than in the
rpm-database") to be right there should be a large amounts of files
with wrong MD5-sums. And there is only a handful for which this is the

yum works. The problem according to an "strace yum" seems to be that
it is poll-ing on something, but I don't know on what, because I don't
get the arguments to that call, because it never finishes (last line
just says "poll("

I'll try that. If it doesn't help I'll have to scratch the machine and

Right ... BUT, base + updates are all the latest RPMS in the release,

So how can you do an install based on all the latest?

Can I create a /centos/install/i386 directory structure where I first 
rsync over the /centos/os/i386, then the /centos/update/i386, and then 
keep it current from both from the Centos mirrors?


I would guess I would have to run createrepo myself as neither the base 
nor the update repodata would be right for the combined directory.  I 
have quite a few installs to do still this week.  I had been holding off 
on some builds, waiting for 5.2 to do them 'clean'.

Install from the current tree (5.2) and do a yum update after that.

[CentOS] How to enable SHA1 passwords after migration from OpenSUSE?

[Papalagi Pakeha]

Hi there!

I have recently migrated my old server from OpenSUSE 10.0 to CentOS 5.
Almost everything works great, except for one thing - user passwords.
In the old system they were in a form:

root:$2a$05$9V.P3/KV2fd0r/O8hs0gNueaidF35edj3DL6skb32qZJNpvwVHiUO:12183:0:9:7:::

and that format doesn't seem to be understood by CentOS. When I change
the password I get something like:

root:$1$Z0HGYkIb$fbkW0gR6c.k7rENE1NlzE0:14055:0:9:7:::

Note the encrypted password begins with $2a$... in OpenSUSE while in
CentOS it starts with $1$... CentOS passwords (MD5?) are understood by
OpenSUSE but OpenSUSE passwords (SHA1?) are not understood by CentOS.
Is there any way around that? Perhaps get some PAM module from
OpenSUSE? Or just some setting somewhere? Having to reset passwords
for all my users would be a royal pain.

Thanks!

PaPa

Right ... BUT, base + updates are all the latest RPMS in the release,  
so no one should think that is a problem.
  

So how can you do an install based on all the latest?



Install from the current tree (5.2) and do a yum update after that.
  
I know that.  I do/done that.  But it just seems backwards to go through 
all the steps of an install, followed by a 300Mb upgrade (where,for 
example, OpenOffice was installed).  At least now I do have the local 
repo, so I am not killing my WAN anymore.


I know I can go through the steps for a minimal install then try and add 
everything later.  Command line yum is hard to use for this.  Yumex is 
not much better for the initial adding of packages.  The Gnome Software 
Updater is almost as reasonable to work with as the one in the installer.


Well for today I have at least 2 systems to install.  I have to build my 
new Scalix server that the lvm create failed yesterday.  I also want to 
try a direct install on a DecTOP (that failed with 5.1, I had to put the 
drive in another system for the install, then move it and 
system-config-display to change the video)


I also have a kernel panic on an existing DecTOP that I upgraded 
yesterday.  I am going to see what a new install will do.

[CentOS] updating to 5.2 from local repo

[Kai Schaetzl]

This is my first major version update after using a local repo.
It seems that before I can "yum update" I have to fetch the complete new 
5.2 base? Is this correct?
When I run yum update it now fails with various strange dependency errors 
although all the updates are synced. When I change to using the original 
repo file it wants to download many many more and shows a lot of files 
that are in base and not in updates.

What are the permissions of your /dev/{cdrom/cdwriter}?

you could probably make a specific cdrecoed entry in /etc/sudoers
and use sudo(8).

You can build your base repo from the iso images via Nautilus.  Right 
click on the iso image file and open with the Archive Manager, then 
extract the contents to a directory.  You will have to set permissions 
to the created directories to 755.


Then do an rsync to the mirror base, you will pick a few fixes.

Building your 5.2/update repo directory is about a 900Mb download.  No 
easy way around this.


BTW, I have done all this this week.
When I run yum update it now fails with various strange dependency errors 
although all the updates are synced. When I change to using the original 
repo file it wants to download many many more and shows a lot of files 
that are in base and not in updates.
  

Did you do a yum clean all first?  that was giving me all sorts of errors.

That's correct - you'll need the full base, not just updates.

The new base is actually "5.2", and updates are merely packages released 
_since_ upstream released 5.2 a month ago.

Then use kickstart for installation, import the CentOS gpg-Key in %post
and then use "yum -y -e0 -d0 update" in the %post section.

[CentOS] Kernel panic from install CD

[Robert Moskowitz]

I have a bunch of DecTOPs.  Use the AMD Geode chip.

Yesterday I upgraded one of them, and got the dreaded Kernel panic. 
Something about powernowk8.  I could boot up with the old kernel, though.


I know I have to put in a bug report on this, will do shortly, but first 
wanted to try a fresh install on another DecTOP.  At the prompt, I 
specified:  linux askmethod


After it loaded the kernel, it died with the same Kernel panic.  This is 
bad.  Very bad.  If they fix the kernel (when, please?), I will need to 
make a new install CD (how?).  Yes, I can put the drive in another 
system, do the install, move the drive, then run system-config-display, 
but I was hoping that 5.2 fixed the install problems i was having on 
these DecTOPs with 5.1

Well, I don't have the iso here ;-) I install via http from local repos since 
5.1 came out. But I didn't sync base since then as it wasn't necessary 
(nothing's going to change). Now it is.

> Did you do a yum clean all first?  that was giving me all sorts of errors.

After I got the same errors I did a clean for metadata, headers and dbcache.
Then running against the mirror list was fine. I assume the cleaning of the 
headers fixed it. Once my base sync is finished I'm gonna clean again and then 
try the update again.

[CentOS] nfs cannot see mount points on other machine

[Kai Schaetzl]

I'm having a bit of a problem with what I can "see" over nfs.
I have two machines that nfs their root to each other and it seems to 
work. However, I now found out that some of the root directories that are 
listed are "fake" ones. A comparison of the root on both machines shows 
that some directories are the same and I can access those files on the 
other machine. However, there are some directories that are different.

That is true for all the "special" directories like dev, proc, sys (which 
makes some sense), but also for directories that are mount points on the 
other machine. Does nfs not give me access to those mount points? Do I 
have to create a second nfs mount to that machine which mounts only that 
mount point? Or do I need some parameter to mount these mount points under 
the normal mount?

What's weird is that if I create a file in these "fake" directories I can 
do that and it's listed like it actually were created on the other 
machine. But it gets created on *this* machine. When I then unmount, it's 
gone (like the whole nfs mount) and when I remount it's back. Where is it 
actually getting created and how can I remove it? Is there some nfs cache 
that holds it?

it is public, however we dont want people using it widely. Which is why 
there isnt much info about it outside the centos devel lists. We dont 
want to break everyone's installs with packages that might not be 
suiteable for production.


The whole point of the testing repo is that people can test the packages 
there, and once there is enough feedback those packages move to the 
mirror.centos.org repos'.


Over the next few days - maybe week to ten days - we will work out a 
better or an alternative testing mechanism that more people would / 
should be able to use and provide feedback on. Till then I highly 
recommend sitting tight! And once there is a process plan, I shall make 
sure its put out in as many places as possible, so if you have anything 
to do with CentOS, you will hear about it.


Not sure if this answers your question, but I hope it helps

Was having a similar problem this morning, just listed them too as mounts on top
of the other mounts.

>From man exports

nohide 

This option is based on the option of the same name provided in IRIX NFS.
Normally, if a server exports two filesystems one of which is mounted on the
other, then the client will have to mount both filesystems explicitly to get
access  to  them.   If  it just  mounts the parent, it will see an empty
directory at the place where the other filesystem is mounted.  That filesystem
is "hidden".

Setting the nohide option on a filesystem causes it not to be hidden, and an
appropriately authorised client will  be  able  to move from the parent to that
filesystem without noticing the change.

However,  some  NFS clients do not cope well with this situation as, for
instance, it is then possible for two files in the one apparent filesystem to
have the same inode number.

The nohide option is currently only effective on single host exports.  It does
not work  reliably  with  netgroup,  subnet,  or wildcard exports.

This  option  can  be  very  useful in some situations, but it should be used
with due care, and only after confirming that the client system copes with the
situation effectively.

The option can be explicitly disabled with hide.

Hi John!

As I understand it the nvidia-x11-drv IS the nvidia.com-driver just
repackaged in such a way that it automatically recompiles itself if a new
kernel is installed. For the vanilla-nvidia-drivers I had to write a script
for that and the number of workstation here is not big enough that it
justifies that (I did that, but it never worked 100% and testing a boot time
script is a pain in the a##) Obviously the script in the RPM-package doesn't
know how to behave during an upgrade (let's see how it fares when the first
5.2-kernel-update comes along)

Thanks for the hint about exports, I think I would have never tried man on 
that. 
I think it's not the problem I see, but after some more reading and 
experiencing 
that the proposed solution fails I think I know the reason.

The above paragraph only applies to the cross-mounted filesystem I think, e.g. 
if I mount under /nfs/hostname then this will be "hidden". I tried the "nohide" 
solution and it didn't make a difference for my problem. There's also an 
interesting option crossmnt explained right after nohide, but this is not going 
to work either I think (and actually I don't really understand it, it's 
confusingly explained).

On rereading that man article it becomes obvious that you mount "filesystems". 
So, if you mount / on the other machine you get only what the other machine has 
under that mount point. If I have a mount point /home on the other machine that 
won't be available under the / export. I have to export and mount 
/nfs/hostname/home if I want to get that one as well. I think. I haven't tried 
yet.

What doesn't fit in this, though, is the fact that the other mount points are 
displayed as directories and I can work on them (just in some cache it seems). 
This is very confusing as you never know if you are working on the real thing 
or 
not. I would have thought that the coders would have taken care of that. So, 
maybe my theory is not correct. But the nohide option doesn't fix the problem 
either.

I just added my comment.
Has anyone tried the 2.6.18-92.1.6 kernel released today to see if this 
problem went away?

[CentOS] Re: Force reinstallation of packages Was: Root-filesystem remounts as read-only during 5.2 upgrade (system completely shoot)

[Scott Silva]

<>

All this leads me to the conclusion that there are only some selected
packages corrupt (and I don't want to reinstall the machine). Would
Installing/Repairing from DVD help?
If you have packages newer than what is on the dvd, I don't think they will 
get replaced. You might get away with removing the packages from the rpm 
database only and then re-install them, but yum probably wouldn't help you here.

[CentOS] going from 4 to 6 serial ports

[Mike Kinton]

I am using 32bit base kernel and want to increase the number of serial ports
from 4 to 6.  The hardware is a touch screen epos system and it uses com
ports 5 and 6 for dedicated devices.

 

I think that I may need a customer kernel.  Are there any instructions on
how to do this or other ways of solving my problem?

 

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

[CentOS] CentOS 5.2 - GFS and glock_purge tunable

[James Thompson]

The documentation for 5.2 indicates the glock_purge tunable parameter is 
present for GFS in its example output from `gfs_tool gettune`. However, I just 
upgraded a 5.1 system to 5.2 and everything looks good except for the 
mysterious absence of the glock_purge parameter. Any ideas as to why this 
tunable which I was looking forward to getting is missing?

This can also happen if you have both i386 and x86_64 version of perl

I never tried the nohide as it said it could be dangerous to some clients as was
not compatible with wild card exports which we were using.


So we mount /, /mnt/disk1, /mnt/disk2,

That's because the most current version that is spun up on rpmforge is:

nagios-nrpe-2.5.2-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

2.8.1 isn't packaged yet.

I tried a 'standard' 5.2 install. I booted from 5.2 CD 1of6 and at the

linux askmethod (my plan was to select http to access my 5.2 local repo).

The 5.2 kernel was loaded off the CD and promptly got a Kernel Panic.

Thus if were to try and mix 5.1 with 5.2, I HAVE to start the install 
with the 5.1 10f6 CD. Then I either point to the 5.2 local repo URL or 
point to the 5.1 local repo URL and then supply the 5.2 repo as 'extra'. 
I suspect the former will fail as it will install the 5.2 kernel and

Ok, I finally got it right.
- you have to *export* all filesystems that should be usable (not just /)
- you have to "nohide" each single one of them

then you can mount hostname:/ and get all the other remote mount points 
automatically as well.

This problem is due to the lack of an i386 RPM in x86_64 repos.  See

perl.i386 is *now* in the extras repository (as stated by the Release
Notes) which is enabled by default. As it is not in upstream's x86_64
tree, it's not going into the CentOS os/ or updates/ tree either.

That's why I closed that bug again.

noone has your exact configuration, so the only way to know if it will 
for sure work for you would be to test it on a staging server configured 
identically to your production server, or at least, make full backups of 
your system so you can restore it if something goes wrong.


generally, updates are safe if your system is clean and doesn't have its 
system components polluted by non-distribution code.

[Sorin Srbu]

Why don't you clone your machine, or use Vmware or something, and do an test 
before you do it with your production-machine? Asking this sort of question is, 
well, rather meaningless IMO. Your setup is unique considering what tweaks you 
might've done to it. YMMV as they say. What works for me, doesn't necessarily 
work for you, or vice versa.

Testing before use in sharp situations is always a good idea, although I've 
been 
pampered and spoiled by CentOS's stability on inplace-upgrades, like this last 
one. 8-}

In case you missed it, there was a recommended "two step" and parameter
recommendation.

1. yum update yum rpm
2. yum upgrade # not update

As Jim alluded to, and others have stated explicitly in the past, an
update of a live server without adequate testing and/or fallback plan is
akin to unassisted suicide. It won't be your foot you shot yourself in
if something goes drastically wrong.

I'd have a bootable backup ready before trying this.  See the section on
"cloning" in http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide.

Lots of people have updated by now.

Have had two mysterious crashes of my main server since upgrading
yesterday, one on kernel-2.6.18-92.1.1.el5.x86_64 and the second on
kernel-2.6.18-92.1.6.el5.x86_64.  Just quietly dies with nothing in the
logs.  Several other upgraded systems (all i386) seem to be fine.  Still
searching for any other reports of problems.

Anaconda doesn't have good error handling, so it likes to bomb out when 
doing complex custom partitioning. So, I tend to just install the basic 
setup and create any fancy partitions by hand after the install is done.

IIRC, that's true if default config file wasn't modified with certain
parameters. Do I mis-remember? IIRC, upgrade works correctly even if
they changed that config parameter. So, better safe than sorry.

If I mis-remember, please forgive an old fart with half-heimer's. :-))

Can you telnet to localhost 25 and send a mail that way ?

e.g.

 (put a period here and hit enter)
 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as B5F52808041
 quit
 221 2.0.0 Bye
 Connection closed by foreign host.

And see if the email arrives at the destination. It seems like
the mail server is not working right as Oracle says it's returning a 421
error code(temporary failure).

And if the telnet works, try it a second, and a third time to see
if it's consistent or not.

You mean whether the nvidia-x11-drv package works inter-5.2 during
kernel-updates? Today a new kernel-update arrived and two of my

5.1->5.2 problem)

[CentOS] Starting a Local CentOS Mirror

[Art Age Software]

Hi all,

I would like to set up a local CentOS mirror, as suggested by others
on this list, to cut down on bandwidth usage, etc. I have read a
couple HowTos and it seems pretty straight-forward, but I do have some
questions.

1) How should I change my entries in /etc/yum.repos.d? Specifically,
should I replace CentOS-Base.repo with my own .repo file?

2) Is there a way to configure yum to prefer the local repo, but use
an external mirror if the local is not available?

3) What is the best practice around keeping the local repo updated? A
once-a-day cron job to rsync from an external mirror? If this is the
correct approach, is there a way to rsync from a "mirror list" so that
updates won't fail if a particular mirror happens to be unavailable
when the cron job runs?

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide. I want to be sure
I get this right!

Any ideas what the "dangerous" inode confusion is about? Is it relevant today?

I don't like fidling with files that are provided by rpms, so we use a local DNS
override on the mirrors.centos.org, et al


Then we provide yum & up2date with the mirror list to choose from (1 entry our
local mirror)

See above and update your returned list based on prefences.

Every ~17 hours I think we do it. We also use locks to prevent more than one
from running at a time. If it fails it will try again, and delay 2x and try
again, repeat...

Hmm, don't know, might be a good idea.

[CentOS] java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.i386 update failure

[William L. Maltby]

Hmmm,

I seemed to have created a misalignmnet somewhere along the line. I
can't remember doing anything to this. But at one time I did try to test
the java open source. Posted my results to the list, got no response,
abandoned all hope and went on my merry way. I don't know if this is
related.

I have installed an rpm for a java needed by an application I run. It
was from the official java site. I don't know if this is related.

Here's what I know. Well, I think I know this.

/usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers seems to be missing from
jpackage-utils.noarch.

As I am frequently in error, I presume that I may have something
scrogged here. If so, cluebats cheerfully fielded.

If not, any help or ideas also gratefully accepted.

I guess the next question is how exactly is Oracle sending the
mail? I've run Oracle 10g on several RHEL systems, but when I did
email it was always using shell commands, never from inside Oracle
itself.

I just added my comment.
Has anyone tried the 2.6.18-92.1.6 kernel released today to see if 
this problem went away? 
This is an open bug at Redhat.  Originally they said, 'gee we will fix 
this for 5.3'.  Tim Verhoeven pointed out that would leave all of us 
with this problem back at the 5.1 kernel and no security patches until 
5.3.  I pointed out that you cannot even do a fresh install of 5.2 on 
such a server.  Hopefully, they will get the message and fix this.
I just wondered if a 5.1 install with this latest kernel as an update and 
reboot. If the problem goes away then you could install with a 5.1 netboot cd.

Even though there have been several posts with problems, there have probably 
been hundreds of upgrades if not thousands that went fine.

Always consider the issues of progressive enhancement and graceful
degradation (from Dom Scripting manual)

First: '$2a' is not SHA1 its Blowfish.

I belive you need libxcrypt support, I'm not sure just google fast I
hope this will help you.

1) Upgrade.  That kernel is vulnerable to the vmsplice exploit.

2) Intel.  Period.

[CentOS] Centos 5.2 and Xen, problems installing guests

[Ramon Nieto]

Hello,

I have installed a new server with centos 5.2 x86_64, when i try to install a 
guest using the gui tool virt-manager the "new" button is disabled, so no good 
luck.

Using virt-install on the command line, the install process begins but after 
retrieving the .treeinfo vmlinuz and initrd.img files, it stop with the 
following error:

virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Error creating 
domain: invalid xend config dom0-min-mem: expected int: |18')

is someone having the same problem? do someone knows a workaround?.

Thank you in advance.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.2 kernel [2.6.18-92.1.1.el5] crashes on dual-PIII Compaq ProLiant 3000

I get kernel panic at powernowk8_init+0x05e/0x1c3.

The previous kernel [ kernel-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5.i686 ] seems to work 
fine.


I am wondering if anyone has met this on PIII CPU ?

I have found 99.9% identical problem on
http://www.nabble.com/net-5501-and-RHEL5.2-td18024549.html

(only esp and task slightly different from what I have seen on screen 
after crash,
all other registers, call trace, code bytes identical to my case) , 
but that was on a different CPU.


On the other hand, I run CentOS upgraded to 5.2 on a home PC with PIII 
(single CPU,

  Abit motherboard with i440BX chipset) with no problem.

Is it normal, that powernowk8_init gets called on PIII CPU?



We have created a new test kernel that has an upstream patch to fix this 
issue, please test this and see if it fixes your issues:


http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/kernel/5/bz443853/


I have heard off list that this kernel does solve the problem with 
powernow-k8.


As always though, this kernel will be available to people with the 
problem (at the above link), however we won't officially release it as a 
replacement until it is in an upstream kernel and released into the tree 
by them.


This is even worse because it renders the install media worthless on 
these machines, and I am sorry, but upstream needs to initiate things in 
 the main tree.

[CentOS] Workplaces / Desktop on panel

[hce]

Hi,

I've just installed CentOS 5.2, but could not find a workplaces (which
I can switch between them) icon in the panel. I am running in GNOME
(it was desktops in KDE). I've looked at References and
Administration, but could not find the workplaces to add to the panel.
Where can I find it and how can I add it to the panel?

Thank you.

[CentOS] Minimized Firefox is not visible on panel in CentOS 5.2

[hce]

Hi,

I opened a Firefox on Desktop, but when I clicked Minimize Window
button, the Firefox disappeared and there was no icon on the panel, I
simply could not find it any more (it did not close), this was the
same for the terminal as well . How can I make the Firefox icon
visible on panel (or workplaces) even it was minimized?

Thank you.

[CentOS] Automatic site selection for dowload

[tech]

I would like to ask that more flexibility be built into automatically 
choosing sites for downloading.


I have just upgraded to CentOS 5.2. When I look for a mirror, I get many 
choices from Taiwan. Since I am in Hong Kong this makes sense 
geographically but   not in terms of bandwidth.


Although Taiwan is very close, it is almost the slowest connection I can 
make. Some .jp sites are good but I find .sg or the US is usually best.


This morning I tried to update to the new kernel (92.1.6). My system 
seemed to die during the download. After some investigation, I found 
that Yum et al is being defaulted to .tw sites. (base, updates, add ons 
all go to .tw.) I have now been sitting at base primary.xml.gz for over 
15 minutes and am only about 50% done.


Is it possible when deciding these default sites to look at actual 
bandwidth and not just geographical closeness?
