Re: [CentOS] Gigabit Lan doesn't work

[Rob Townley]

You may want to see if the device driver for your device has been
blacklisted in order to protect it.
Look through the various /etc/modprobe.d/ blacklist files to see if it
is listed.  I am not an expert, there may be another place to
blacklist or whitelist drivers on your config.

Re: [CentOS] is udev necessary?

anything at all.
  
Indeed - I see some error messages about memory being assign to weird 
places and ata1 claiming to be a dummy... But nothing that should 
warrant something like a reboot...


I did however see some Xen messages. I am no expert so I can't see if 
this is a hypervisor kernel or a virtual machine kernel. If you are not 
planning on using the machine for or in an Xen environment, you could 
try to switch to a regular one (even if it is for testing). I have had 
some strange behaviour from systems which reacted poorly to 
virtualisation software (most of those get fixed but they can send you 
into the wrong direction).


Another thing that came to mind was that udev might finish properly but 
the next task might crash the system. I would however expect something 
in the message output. Did you check if the udev service claimed to be 
started if you ctrl+c out of it? Its unlikely but can't hurt to test.


If all else fails, you could probably disable udev for now and check if 
everything is working (make sure you don't need pluggable device 
support, otherwise you really do need udev). Plan B would be to Google 
for a debugging mode in udev - unless someone on the list knows how to 
activate that. My guess would be to edit the udev script and pass 
something to the program (most of the time its something like '-v' or 
'-vv' or '-d' or something - look for verbose or debug options).


Good luck,

Were you running a 2.6.27 pre-release kernel?  Everyone should read
this as there about 12 NICs that could be rendered useless especially
in a chipset integrated NIC.

"If you have an Intel PCI Express add-on card or integrated NIC, avoid
the Ubuntu 8.10 alphas, OpenSUSE 11.1 beta, SUSE Linux Enterprise 11
beta, Fedora Rawhide or for that matter, any distribution that comes
with a 2.6.27 pre-release kernel."  So says the following arstechnica
article.
   
http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/96509133/m/638006184931/inc/-1

i am no firmware expert, but i would think if you can find an
identical machine, you should be able to use the following command
from the article to backup good firmware, then use ethtool -E to
restore the good firmware over your bad firmware.

Hi Barend,

Unfortunately I don't see anything useful in the logs. If I let it

Rudi Ahlers schreef:

So, do I need udev? And what is it's purpose?
Udev is a device probing layer. In the old days we had a /dev system 
prepped for standard use which would be complemented with other bootup 
scripts to make nodes for all hardware in your system.


Udev is the successor of this system (the one line history version 
anyway) and builds up the /dev folder with all your devices. In theory 
this is great but most systems (and I'm fairly sure CentOS as well) 
still have a number of base nodes in /dev before udev is fully started. 
This helps the system boot and in case of emergency (udev crashing or a 
broken probing like you have) this would allow the system to boot and 
find its primary devices (if you are lucky this might include all 
neccesary devices, in my case for example, when udev won't start I only 
have one of 2 SATA controllers online).


So in short, you might be able to turn off udev but adding new hardware, 
plugging in usb devices or similar or starting some non-standard 
hardware won't work any more. Perhaps there are more serious issues 
(like soft-raids ignoring the raid and just using one drive).


You might be able to see in the kernel console (ctrl+f10) what happens 
just before the system reboots - if it is a module which fails (most 
likely) you could blacklist it. That would solve the reboots. If the 
module is in fact critical for some piece of hardware you might be able 
to tweak it instead of disabling udev altogether.


Do the system logs contain any clues what is going on or does the system 
kills itself before logging to harddisc comes on?

can connect to an iSCSI server, but can it act as a iSCSI server?

Is so, does anyone have some good HOWTO / tutorials / docs on how to  
set it up?


I'm running CentOS 5.2


There is also the iSCSI Enterprise Target besides the technology  
preview of 'tgt' which is more then just iSCSI, but a generic SCSI  
target that can also do FC and FCoE.


IET has a kernel device device driver though that will need to be  
maintained through kernel updates, but works extremely well.

[CentOS] is udev necessary?

[Rudi Ahlers]

Hi all

I recently setup a CentOS 5.2 server, running XEN (using HyperVM), and
then moved the hard drive from my test box to my Intel server.The
problem I now have, is that it doesn't bootup properly. Shortly after
I see the udev service started, the machine reboots. This keeps on
going the whole time.

I have managed to kill udev on start-up (with CTRL + C), and then it boots up.
So, do I need udev? And what is it's purpose?

Re: [CentOS] Video Card [SOLVED]

[Tom Browder]

A recap of the problems for my configuration: Centos 5.2, x86_64, PNY
9600 GT 512 Mb video, Rosewill R913J 19" LCD monitor, Gigabyte
GA-P35-DS3L mobo, Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 Gb RAM.

Using the latest Nvidia x86_64 driver package (177.82) I could not get
the 1280x1060 resolution (I could get nothing but 640x480).

Additionally, while attempting various fixes, the monitor base color
turned blue.

Cure:

0.  I set run level 3 in /etc/inittab and then executed 'telinit 3' to
work from a text display.

1.  I set the Rosewill in VGA (analog) mode--that is the only mode
that will work with the Nvidia driver (discovered by trial and error).

2.  I deleted the existing xorg.conf file (at /etc/X11).

3.  I used nvidia-xconfig to write a new xorg.conf file.

4.  I initially tested with startx, but that didn't work with my set
up.   I found that using "gdm" let me see a successful X server.

5.  After a successful X start at the desired resolution, I then set
run level 5 and executed 'telinit 5'.

Weird monitor base color:

6.  To reset the monitor base color back to normal I had to clear the
BIOS CMOS memory and reload the BIOS defaults.

Note that the Nvidia list of Linux-capable video cards at
 (thanks to John Stanley)
is the one to consult to ensure a card is usable under Linux.

I have found no card manufacturers with any significant degree of tech
support for Linux, so I cannot recommend one over the other (over the
years I have tried cards from MSI, XFX, EVGA, PNY, and others, but it
was always hit or miss--I usually looked at the READMEs with the
Nvidia driver packages but that has proved to be unreliable for
me--once more, thanks to John Stanley for pointing out the other list
that I have always overlooked).

I hope this helps others with weird video problems.

In addition, Red Hat Cluster isn't cheap.  It's usually a pretty safe
assumption that if one has it deployed, then one has an active service
contract with RH, and thus has access to the official support
channels... which is why RHCS knowledge hasn't really percolated out to
the CentOS crowd to the degree that it has on the RHEL lists...

Consider then reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iscsi your homework

Don't try to compare NFS and iScsi : they aren't working at the same 
level : iScsi works at the 'block level' while other Network File 
Systems (like NFS, CIFS, etc ...) work more at the 'file level' . So 
they are serving different needs. While multiple hosts can access 
directly a NFS exported fs, iscsi share a block device (target) to an 
initiator host (or multiple hosts). Except if you're using a cluster FS 
like GFS, you can't access the same lun from multiple initiators at the 
same time

This is one of those situations where if you have nothing 
useful to say it is best to keep quiet. What about those 
in the CentOS forums asking for help after their subscriptions 
have run out? Or what business is it of yours if someone is 
running RHEL as opposed to a RHEL-derivative?

Yes you can , but actually it's still 'techonology preview' as stated in

You'll need to install the package scsi-target-utils and configure 
everything with the tgtadm command : there is no config file that is 
read by the /etc/rc.d/init.d/tgtd initscripts so you have to write a

Yes, I know that CentOS is a clone of RHEL. But, if you paid for RHEL,
probably you have a right to their support. If not, to participate in

[CentOS] can CentOS act as an iSCSI server?

[Rudi Ahlers]

Hi all,

I would like to know if I could share some space on on of my servers,
to another server(s) using the iSCSI protocal? I can  see that CentOS
can connect to an iSCSI server, but can it act as a iSCSI server?

Is so, does anyone have some good HOWTO / tutorials / docs on how to set it up?

I'm running CentOS 5.2

Thanks for the pointer. I've looked at it a few weeks ago back when
