[CentOS] Centos 5.0 x86-64 install crashes with Realtek 8111B Ethrenet
While installing Centos 5.0 x86-64 on a Gigabyte GA-945GM-S2 motherboard which has Realtek 8111B Ethernet chip - Anaconda crashes. I select the option to use the Centos online repository for extra packages - I am asked to enter IP address etc. The drop box to select the Ethernet interface is blank. If I enter valid IP address and gateway - anaconda crashes and the system reboots from CD. I think that the NIC chip is not correctly detected by anaconda - and there must be a problem in the logic which allows anaconda to try to connect to the network without any available network adaptor. Incidentally - I also use a version of Linux called Trinity Rescue. The current version of trinity used kernel 2.6.19.2 - and this detects and runs the same Ethernet chip fine. Maybe the newer kernel fixes the problem - or maybe the problem is specific to x86-64 architecture. In Bug report 0001947 someone reports he fixed this problem with a new driver from realtek and/or redhat. I have downloaded this driver - but can anyone point me to instructions on how to compile and install it? I have built a Centos 5.0 without network support. Alternatively - does anyone know when we expect a Centos 5.1 release? Is there a beta I can get hold of before the release? Alternatively - can I download updates for the Centos 5 from a yum repository using a working cetos 4.4 installation - then use yum or rpm to install a new kernel or driver on the Centos 5.0 system? Can anyone suggest were I would find instructions on how to do this? Thanks Richard. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Vsftpd problem
Hi all, I have a filesystem which I need to make available through ftp ( vsftpd ). I have this as separate filesystem as it needs to be available through apache and NFS also. It's our local mirror.

[CentOS] Troubles with CentOS5 and 3ware RAID controller
Folks, Since approx. a half year I have run two servers with CentOS4, all was running very stable. Then I upgraded to CentOS5 (fresh install). The servers are running quite unstable since the upgrade. The system is freezing after short uptime. I suspect the driver for the 3ware controller, because I got such error messages: 3w-: scsi0: Character ioctl (0x1f) timed out, resetting card. 3w-: scsi0: Character ioctl (0x1f) timed out, resetting card. 3w-: scsi0: Character ioctl (0x1f) timed out, resetting card.

Re: [CentOS] TinyCA2 on rpmforge EL4 but not EL5
You probably can without trouble, as TinyCA2 is written in perl and package is architecture independent. You might also want to rebuild the package for your system (CentOS 5), just download the source package for the software (http://tinyca.sm-zone.net/tinyca2-0.7.5-0.src.rpm) and use rpmbuild: rpmbuild --rebuild tinyca2-0.7.5-0.src.rpm As root, you will have a new package in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch named tinyca2-0.7.5-0.noarch.rpm which is packaged for your system. You will also need to include any development packages that the software may need to build (perl, perk-Gtk, etc). Good luck!

Aparently its because of this entry: *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;spampd.none-/var/log/messages I should use local5.none instead of spampd. I wonder why syslog did not complaint when restarting :( ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Syslog would just stop logging - period. I've often wondered what had caused it, but never really investigated it due to lack of information. Just wanted to chime in there and let you know that this problem has been seen before. Thanks -dant ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
