It wouldn't let me install with these files on a usb drive or a cdrom, but it worked fine when I put them on a floppy. I then did an upgrade install of CentOS, and was able to boot into the system. The only issue now seems to be that I still can't boot the xen kernel with it.

[CentOS] new install of 5.1 with KVM-over-IP - can't install with GUI - need assistance
Hi All, I have several dozens of CentOS and WhiteBox servers. Most of them are CentOS 4.6. Our installation service is done in the datacenter where the servers are located. When we install a fresh clean install, we use the GUI menus, while using the KVMoverIP. That was working great with CentOS 4.x In CentOS 5.x, the installation process 'annonces" that "Hey,. I know you are using a KVM and don't have a monitor attached" (who cares??). But, "since you are using a KVM and no monitor is attached,. you CANNOT use the GUI installation". Why??? 4.x didn't care for this. Why make my life difficult? I have to 'cheat' by calling the datacenter to plug a monitor for the first minute of the install and then plug back the KVM cable. Isn't this stupid? of course it is! I am looking for a solution such as a parameter that I can pass to the boot sequence (vga=nommconf or something like that) so that it won't do the probing for the VGA and just let me go about my business. Mind you that this is a problem both with DELL PowerEdge 1950iii with DRAC5 remote consule as well as with just plain PCs that use ATEN KVM 9116. Once the probe understand that we don't use a monitor it prompts the 'can't use the GUI'. Any pointers about this? Thanks, -Sup.___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Software raid tutorial and hardware raid questions.
I remember seeing one with an example migrating from an old fashioned filesystem on a partition to a new filesystem on a mirrored lvm logical volume but one only one side of the mirror is set up at this time. First I need to copy stuff from what will become the second side of the mirror to filesystem on the first side or the mirror Then I will be ready to follow the rest of the tutorial and build and attach the second side of the mirror. Wish I could remember where I saw that tutorial. Want to embellish the example and stripe each side of the mirror. Understanding a mirrored pair of stripes, seems easier than understanding a striped pair of mirrors. But this seems like a place where counterintuitive results are not a big surprise. I can do mirroring and striping in lvm, mdadm, or a hardware raid controller. There are lots of configurations to ponder. What about recovery after a hardware raid controller? What are the chances of being able to replace the controller and start up successfully from drives? I know that assuming the failed controller did write bad stuff to the drives while it was crashing and burning. I would not be surprised if the controller firmware revisions had to match. I would be surprised but not astonished if the board hardware revision level had to match, too. I hope we are past those days. Anybody know about the LSI Logic MegaRAID 8480 Storage controller in particular. -- Drew Einhorn -- Drew Einhorn ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] EVMS?
EVMS Enterprise Volume Management System sounds interesting, looks like it supported CentOS4, but not CentOS5. But maybe I'm not looking in the right places. -- Drew Einhorn ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] EVMS?

EVMS was introduced in the 3.0 release of TSL, but was jerked out of 3.0.5, the test-version of 3.1, which was never released.. Back then, EVMS was slapped on without any kind of explanation or well sorted plan.. It merely created problems for users or wasn't noticed at all.. It was one of many things that drove most of the user base away, long before the distro was scrapped by Comodo. I have yet to see what EVMS is supposed to do, other than muck up the booting process with additional indirection.. I still have TSL on servers both at home and work, as I have not yet had the time needed to rework them. -- Cheers, Morten Nilsen Former TSL contributor ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
