RHEL 5 is GA, but due to a nasty bug (see my post on 4/19) we're recreating the ISO images with a newer kernel. They should be available on RHN shortly (I'll shoot out a note when they're available). -Brad On Wed, 2007-04-25 at 10:24 +0300, Avinoam hirschberg wrote: Hi, i would like to know

Bingo! That got us past the current hurdle. In particular, from that web page, this statement in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf helps: types = [ device-mapper, 1 ] We will probably still have issues with boot.multipath and multipathd. Film at 11. -- R; Romanowski, John (OFT) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent

The nsswtich.conf file is using default values and I've never tried to do anything with nis. My understanding of the situation is that the pam modules are making an ldap call, through local ldap services, which was configured to go against the dns resolvable name for the z/OS system where we run

Tried numerous times to define a filter for /dev/mapper pseudo devices. No joy. I did eventually need to filter out /dev/sdx., but filtering in /dev/mapper did not help by itself. The line I found in the HTML John pointed out resolved the current pain: types = [ device-mapper, 1 ] I am still

Enter your root partition after SLES10x install

I was installing SLES10x and everything seemed to be OK. It installed all the software and there was some screen with check marking going on. I walked away from my VNC session for a drink of water and when I came back my VNC session was gone and the sles10x installation guest was down. I assumed

I ended up shutting down the z/VM Guest and rebooting and it started where it left off. It continued to reboot several times without any indication that it was going to reboot. Quite confusing but in the end, it is installed and running. I have some other problems now that I must work through.

If the cpint kernel module wasn't built for the specific kernel version that SLES 10 is running the module won't load and you'll get an error like that. Do you have to use cpint specifically, or would the new vmcp tool module be an option? It should be available by default with SLES 10:

The behaviour of 'vmcp' is a little different. May not matter. To some it does. Consistency is a nice thing. I wrote an hcp.rx Regina script which loads an rxdiagrc.so module to drive either interface. Does not perform the loading of the kernel module but issues CP commands with either
