Re: [CentOS] Configuring ipv6 reboot persistence, CentOS 5.6
Hello, Thank you for your response. The IPV4 endpoint address in ifcfg-sit1 is in fact the tunnel endpoint and not my system's address. The output of ifconfig sit1 does in fact show the ipv6 addresses looks correct to me. The output of ip -6 route | grep -v 'dev lo' shows ipv6 traffic going out sit1. I should probably mention I do not have any ipv6 firewall in place. Thanks. Dave.

Next you need to identify the Vendor:Device ID pairing for your device(s) above and then search for a driver that supports them.

You already did: # lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) so now take the PCI ID (first part above) and query it for the Vendor:Device ID pairing: # lspci -n | grep '00:1b.0' 00:1b.0 0403: 8086:293e (rev 02) and take the Vendor:Device ID pairing (8086:293e in my example) and search for a matching driver supporting that device: # grep -i 8086 /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 293e /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v8086d293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v8086d293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v8086d293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel /lib/modules/2.6.18-238.9.1.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v8086d293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel /lib/modules/2.6.18-238.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v8086d293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v8086d293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v8086d293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel which shows me the snd-hda-intel driver present in kernel-2.6.18-53.el5 onwards supports my hardware.

[CentOS] Configuring ipv6 reboot persistence, CentOS 5.6
Hello, I'm running a CentOS 5.6 server through linode. I am atempting to configure it for ipv6, previously this had been done though not by me on a ubuntu box so the hardware can take it. I've got an ipv6 tunnel through Hurricane Electric and at a shell prompt have done the following: ifconfig sit0 up ifconfig sit0 inet6 tunnel ::IPV4 Address ifconfig sit1 up ifconfig sit1 inet6 add IPV6 Address route -A inet6 add ::/0 dev sit1 Testing that with a ping6 works fine. I then want it to persist across reboots. So I added the following to /etc/sysconfig/network: NETWORKING_IPV6=yes IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=sit1 and I made /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sit1 DEVICE=sit1 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes IPV6INIT=yes IPV6TUNNELIPV4=IPV4 Address IPV6ADDR=IPV6 Address Reboot the box, check sit1 and it has an ip address. Running that ping6 command says the network can't be reached. I have to take the interface down and rerun those above commands manually. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

I had to complete a new VM Host machine before CentOS-6 was ready, so I used SL-6 as the underpinnings. It simply worked, once I ironed out a couple of unrelated hardware issues. It auto-updates and lets me know when that's been done, but it doesn't reboot unless I want to, so there's little risk in allowing the updates. Auto-update can be disabled if you prefer. So far it has been flawless. It's managing two very large software RAID-6 arrays and 7 Guest VMs on a dual-Xeon Supermicro motherboard. All of the VM Guest OS's are CentOS-5.6 which works well for my applications. I may or may not upgrade the Guests to C6, depending on need. CentOS has been so reliable that I'm reluctant to move to a different platform. I've used Ubuntu Server and it works well, but I'm more familiar with the RHEL way of doing things so I'll stick with CentOS. One thing I don't know much about is an in-place upgrade of C5 to C6. There are some under-the-hood differences that must be taken into account, which I haven't looked into.

[CentOS] Typing "startx" gives me a black scrren, have to reboot to get back to runlevel 3
Hello everyone, I have been having a vexing problem for a year, and I cannot solve it. Hopefully, someone has a tip to get me over the hump to fix this once and for all. When I type "startx" from root, I get: (EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized. (WW) fglrx(0): *** (WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed! * (WW) fglrx(0): * (maybe driver kernel module missing or bad) * (WW) fglrx(0): * 2D acceleraton available (MMIO) * (WW) fglrx(0): * no 3D acceleration available* (WW) fglrx(0): * * (II) fglrx(0): FBADPhys: 0xf FBMappedSize: 0x1000 (WW) fglrx(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xd000,0x1000) I get a ton of stuff before this, but just info messages. Where should I start looking to fix this problem? I use the Redhat experimental kernels at http://epople.redhat.com/jwilson/el5/. Running CentOS 5.6, fully patched as of this morning with the gdb/OO updates. *** Gilbert Sebenste (My opinions only!) ** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University E-mail: seben...@weather.admin.niu.edu *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** *** ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Also, it is possible that the sound card/chip is NOT connected to the PC
speaker. Most (all?) laptops / notbooks / netbooks / tablets do include
speaker(s) connected to the sound card/chip. Most (all?) *desktops* do
not -- they require *external* speakers ("sold separately") to be
connected.
Since this calls itself a "Mobile Workstation", I am not sure how things
are connected. Is "Mobile Workstation" 'fancy' terminology for "laptop"
or is it something else? Is this a 'lugable' machine (eg a desktop with
a carrying handle and built-in monitor)?

Probably. Do a 'lspci | grep -i audio' in a terminal window and post the results here. This will list what sort of sound chipset your system has.

[CentOS] No sound on HP 8540w, guidance requested
Dear Experts I have been unsuccessful getting the sound to work on a HP Mobile Workstation HP 8540w. Here's a brief rundown of where I am I did a clean new install of Centos 5.6 from DVD, using the Gnome Desktop option and no optional modules. I enabled the firewall, but disabled SELINUX. I installed three files from elrepo to make the wireless adaptor work, and specified the video adaptor using the Gnome -> System -> Preferences -> Display panel. I ran "yum update" until all updates were completed, rebooted system because the Kernel changed. The system now works -- all of the following appear to function properly: - USB connections - wireless - ethernet - pointer-stick for the mouse - the display at its "natural" resolution (1920x1200) - An occassional beep does occur, proving that the PC speaker is connected. However, I when I play any sound or movie file, I get no sound. I know that the PC speaker produces low quality sound, but there should be something. I have experimented with the "Sound" setup, but none of the options seem to produce good results. Is there some special driver or option I need? Any assistance or direction would be appreciated.
