Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6 Installation on Thinkpad X220
Hi all, All resolved now. Thanks to Paul for pointing out the basics :) This had nothing to do with the e1000e as I thought earlier. It has to do with the AHCI mode set for the SATA interface. These where the steps I took to resolve it: 1. Start Laptop 2. When first boot screen appears, press F1 to get into the BIOS setup 3. Go to Config Serial ATA and change AHCI to Compatibility 4. Press F10 to save and reboot Now it boots and installs. Since CentOS has an older kernel than RHEL 6.1 I am not able to get screen resolution etc to work so I will run RHEL on this one as Keyboard keys, Web cam, Sound, Ericsson WLAN, all just works :) Thanks a lot for your help peeps.

Now it boots and installs. Since CentOS has an older kernel than RHEL 6.1 I am not able to get screen resolution etc to work so I will run RHEL on this one as Keyboard keys, Web cam, Sound, Ericsson WLAN, all just works :) If you have access to RHEL binaries, that's fine. I hadn't, so I installed a kernel from Scientific Linux 6.1 repo to CentOS 6.0 to make display driver work on my Acer 7550. Anyway, some day CentOS 6.1 should be available and thereafter if updates itself to genuine CentOS again... -- TiN ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] TIP for broken ARIN whois
This works for me on Centos 5.6. It may assist newcomers to the Linux world of Centos. whois 51.51.51.51 produces a normal and conventional display of data. However since ARIN, the North American registrar of IP addresses, modernised its WHOIS processing, a query to whois 64.64.64.64 will produce a one line summary of possible matches, which always includes ARIN, but omits the details we used to receive before ARIN implemented its much criticised improved service. A one line script solves it for me (but only for ARIN network entries). #!/bin/bash whois -h whois.arin.net n + $1 I call my script .arin .arin 64.64.64.64 produces a normal output.

The ' n + ' are parameters (arguments) introduced by ARIN. They are not part of the standard WHOIS. To reduce typing I now use for WHOIS:- .w 65.65.65.65 .w being a one line script containing (whois $1). When that encounters the ARIN deficiency, I simply up-arrow to get the previous line and add 'a' .wa 65.65.65.65 .wa is my ARIN whois command (whois -h whois.arin.net n + $1) However, when ARIN redirects the original enquiry to a RWHOIS, the query is broken and unrecognised by the RWHOIS whois -h whois.arin.net n + 66.66.66.66 It is a bit of a North American mess. I hope Europe's RIPE retains its fully functioning WHOIS. Paul. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Quite right, sorry, I'd read it backwards. So presumably either a bug in the AHCI support, or a limitation/bug of the kernel driver? jh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It seems this must be owned by postfix but it was owned by root.
So, can somebody check to see if this is there in a CentOS 6 Postfix
install where Amavis is not installed? And if so, what are the default
permissions?
maybe try
rpm -qf /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
to see if it belongs to an rpm.
You could then rpm -V that package if it exists.
OK... I found it.
In Dovecot master.conf, I enabled smtp-auth. Under that, it seems you
must set the user to postfix or each time you restart dovecot the auth
file is recreated and is owned by root... resulting in the failure. I
looked for the file earlier and it was not there. It seems to have
appeared due to enabling smtp-auth, but I did make other edits before
restarting the service.
Inside of service auth I have the following:
# Postfix smtp-auth
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
mode = 0666
user = postfix
}
I am considering adding group = postfix as well as the file is now group
root.
Thanks,
John Hinton
