Do these systems run 24/7? If they don't, the housekeeping jobs will be missed unless anacron is running them. Certainly I have been running CentOS since 5.1 and have never seen this problem.

This is an issue that came up in the early 5.2 days, and has been recurring since. I lost cpuspeed control on my desktop at home as well ( amdx24800/m2n) with the kernel update. Have not started digging into this, but the last time I did upstream blamed it on badly done acpi code in the system BIOS. It *should* now be possible to blacklist the powernow-k8.ko code and let the kernel fallback to using the generic acpi layer again.

Hi all
I have a very strange problem on my CentOS 5.3 laptop. I have installed

Problem appears with versions 3.0.5 and 3.0.6 too. On the other hand, I
have another laptop installed with RHEL 5.3 with firefox and
flash-plugin (but this flash-plugin is installed from redhat repository

Where is the problem?? Maybe is it a bug with firefox under CentOS only??
Thanks.
Please any hits?? I have attached strace output using this command: "strace

At install time, kickstart is the cleanest way to set up RAID. If you've got the time, do one install (sans RAID setup), making sure that you correctly specify your network, packages, etc. After the installation, you'll have a /root/anaconda-ks.cfg that can be used as a blueprint for your kickstart installation. It will include a comment to the effect of # The following is the partition information you requested # Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed # here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is # not guaranteed to work followed by the disk layout section. That's the section to massage a bit. Here's my kickstart directives for RAID1 layout of three partitions( "/", "/boot", and swap): - %< - bootloader --location=partition --driveorder=sda,sdb clearpart --all --initlabel part raid.01 --size=300 --ondisk=sda --asprimary part raid.02 --size=300 --ondisk=sdb --asprimary part raid.11 --size=1024 --ondisk=sda --asprimary part raid.12 --size=1024 --ondisk=sdb --asprimary part raid.21 --size=1--ondisk=sda --asprimary --grow part raid.22 --size=1--ondisk=sdb --asprimary --grow raid /boot --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 --device=md0 raid.01 raid.02 raid swap --fstype swap --level=RAID1 --device=md1 raid.11 raid.12 raid / --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 --device=md2 raid.21 raid.22 - %< - > Although, how difficult is it to make a .386 CentOS 4.x box raid > that currently is not raid?

[CentOS] question on compiling a driver early on at boot
I have noticed in /etc/inittab it calls /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and in there ANYTHING with a .modules name in the /etc/sysconfig/modules directory is executed. Would this be a place to put a driver.modules file and recompile my driver BEFORE entering the next run level? Is that how this is done or is there a "prefered" way? My goal is to detect a kernel change after a yum update and recompile my driver before its needed.

The different var, tmps and spool folders didn't look too bad, but did find some large files I had copied a couple of months ago and forgotten.

If there are kernel updates, that would be bad. Since CentOS5 can have additional repositories specified in kickstarts, why not add a local update repository to the kickstart.

You can always replace the updated RPMS in the CentOS directory and run createrepo to rebuild the comps.xml and header info so that you do your initial build with the newer files without running yum at all.

If that is the case, then add a repo line in your kickstart, sync an updates repo as you do, it will pull anything it needs that is newer from this repo line. repo --name=Updates --baseurl=http://foo.example.com/pub/centos/5.3/updates/i386/ Works for me (tm). jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Desktop update (32 bit) from 5.2 to 5.3 - fuse & ntfs-3g-mount
I just finished updating my Desktop, from CentOS 5.2 to 5.3 (32 bit). There were a lot of error messages (from sbin/ldconfig ?) about 2 files, in usr/lib/lib ending in .so "is not an ELF file - It has the wrong magic bytes at the start." There were also a lot of messages I believe have to do with SELinux. I'd read the Release Notes and thought I was OK, since this box is dual boot with M$ Windows XP, thinking I had the latest and greatest way to access the NTFS partition. However, when I rebooted the box, I saw warning messages: "modprobe fuse as root" and here is the result of that: [r...@dell2400 ~]# modprobe fuse [r...@dell2400 ~]# exit logout [la...@dell2400 ~]$ and another message "ntfs-3g-mount fuse device is missing" As expected, after viewing the above messages; I can't see what's on the NTFS partition. I will read the Release Notes, again, in the morning. This box has GNOME and KDE on it and I was getting messages from PUP that 185 packages were available. The update, after updating glibc, was 268 packages. A big thank you, to everyone who spent so much of their valuable and very limited time working on this update! ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
