If by PTFs, he means z/VM maintenance, there is almost always some things to look out for there. If he's reasonably current, things should work fine. If by PTFs he means Linux maintenance, that really isn't an issue, since you'll have separate guests. Adding SLES9 to the mix doesn't pose any more

Thanks (Ronald and Mark) for the swift answer... Because I'm working off a modified initrd I guess I'll manually do all the sanity check and the /dev magic or actually implement most of the script to the file-system and do a simple insmod cpint in the end... regards- Lior. On Sun, 19 Dec 2004 18

VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD Support on RHEL 3

2004-12-19 Thread Mark Wheeler
Greetings all, Has anyone tweaked RHEL 3 to support "vconfig set_name_type vlan_plus_vid_no_pad" (like SLES 8) instead of the default "vconfig set_name_type dev_plus_vid_no_pad"? I'm at kernel 2.4.21-9.EL. /etc/init.d/network and /sbin/ifup issue the "vconfig set_name_type", but /sbin/ifup needs

The cpint_load command does several things: 1. Does an insmod on the cpint kernel module 2. Checks /proc/devices to see what major device number it got assigned by the kernel 3. Creates the corresponding entries for that in /dev 4. Sets up a couple of symbolic links in /dev 5. Sets some owner and g

Where did cpint_load go? (in SLES9)

2004-12-19 Thread Lior Kesos
I have a set of scripts that I need to maintain that use cpint_load to load modules through a custom initrd. I'm porting these scripts to SLES9 and I suddently found out that cpint_load isn't distributed in the cpint package anymore? I'm not familiar with the design idea of why this was used in the
