[CentOS] iocharset, codepage issue in CentOS 5.5
Title: iocharset, codepage issue in CentOS 5.5 Dear Colleges. The OS is CentOS 5.5. The locale is CP1251 or ISO8859-5, Language used is Russian. It looks like that the iocharset=cp1251,codepage=866 is not working in this version of CentOS, but it works in CentOS 4.6. When trying to mount a memory stick with the above mentioned parameters the file names with Russian characters in the mentioned encoding (Windows XP) are displayed wrong. When writing to this memory stick the file, containing Russian characters, the file becomes unaccesible. Do anyone met with such a bug? -- С уважением, Alexander mailto:pyat...@ap12513.spb.edu ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] ext4?
Listee's... I have a 5.5 box and I have formatted a partition as ext4 however I can't mount it, the mount command is telling me its an unknown file system type. fsck tells me the partition is a clean ext4 partition but I can't mount it. Some reasearch has lead me to believe the problem is that ext4 isn't enabled in the kernel by default in 5.5 (this was originally a 5.2 box that has been upgraded over time, its now on 2.6.18). I'm struggling to find some idiots steps to either get the kernel rebuilt or use the CentOSPlus repo's to get the ext4 module for the kernel etcCan anyone point me at an idiots guide to make this work? -- Regards, James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/ There are 10 kinds of people in the world; Those who understand Vigesimal, and J others...? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I've just checked in 5.5 and got: LABEL=/data /data ext4defaults1 2 so a mount -t ext4 should work, as kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 provides /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5/kernel/fs/ext4/ext4.ko.

You need to boot on the latest kernel. Or it is not 5.5 (nor 5.4 as far as I can remember - it looks like a 5.3 one). So ext4 is unsupported.

Check /boot/grub/grub.cfg and, assuming you have the more recent kernels installed, change it to default to the current kernel and reboot.

You have the newer kernel installed, but either you have *never* rebooted since updating or else grub.conf (or lilo.conf) was not updated or something like that. While is it indeed true that Linux does NOT need to be rebooted everytime you perform a software update (unlike MS-Windows), you do in fact have to reboot when you update the *kernel*. If you have in fact rebooted since installing the newer kernel (probably via a yum update ...) and are still not running 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5, then you need to look at /boot/grub.conf (or /etc/lilo.conf) and see what is being booted by default. You might need to fix these files (and re-run lilo if you are using lilo), and then reboot. > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software-- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows hel...@deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Are you trying to mount the ext4 partition using Grub? If so, mkfs.ext4 probably created 256-byte inodes, but the version of Grub that come with CentOS can only recognize 128-byte inodes.

Or is there a way I can tell my CentOS box "these are here, > look you fool, use them!"? Well that's sort of what I do. If you have space to create a separate boot partition for GRUB, about 20MB should be plenty. You can create it as an ext3 logical partition, inside an extended partition. That should solve the GRUB Centos issue. You then need to reinstall GRUB to that separate boot partition, otherwise GRUB will still be looking to boot from the MBR of the first drive - if that's where it is now. You can install GRUB to separate boot partition by: Create the separate boot partition, and label it something like GrubBoot, using e2label /dev/sd?? GrubBoot. create the mountpoint; /mnt/GrubBoot == ** AutoLinuxInstaller Fedora Installation I have created a seperate Grub boot logical partition, in the extended partition, called GrubBoot /dev/sda13. This enables me to do fresh Linux installations into /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, without destroying the GrubBoot partition. Here's a URL to my partition layout: http://i34.tinypic.com/r9nccz.jpg from grub-install man page: `--root-directory=DIR' Install GRUB images under the directory DIR instead of the root directory. This option is useful when you want to install GRUB into a separate partition or a removable disk. Here is an example in which you have a separate "boot" partition which is mounted on `/boot' (I use /mnt/GrubBoot): The installation of grub to the seperate partition was done by: First mount the GrubBoot partition with: mount -v -t ext3 -L GrubBoot /mnt/GrubBoot then grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/GrubBoot hd0 This was done with F12 as the active OS. Centos 5.5 and F12 will boot now from the GrubBoot partition. I noticed that re-installing GRUB from Centos 5.5 did not allow Fedora 12 to boot. But for some strange reason, when I re-installed GRUB from Fedora 12, this also allowed Centos 5.5 root partition to boot. Here is what my /mnt/GrubBoot/boot/grub/grub.conf file looks like. Note I've added some dummy entries at the end to distinguish where GRUB is booting from: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 5.5 : Installing Sources where they are visibletosystem(VBOX driver install)
Thanks for the reply. How do I verify where the sources should be after the rpm install? How do I install only the headers, since that phrase keeps popping up but like many things on the net, no one ever actually verifies the process for making sure you have them installed, nor how to do it in the first place? Here is the listing of kernel release and available rpms where I downloaded them.

[CentOS] Stuttering sound
Dear List,
After some googling around without any results, I'm quite puzzled. Since
some past update I can't precise, kernel 2.6.164 works fine, however 2.6.194
has some sound problem in my somewhat old and beaten Toshiba laptop.
-Audacious plays OK but other applications have problems.
-For instance, mplayer acts quirky: when I pause a playing video, sound
keeps stuttering endlessly. The same happens sometimes when I close mplayer
window.
-system-config-soundcard detects the card and starts to play sample but
stuttering all the way, repeating every 4th of a second or so some 16 times,
at about a 1/2 second rate.
-Youtube has no sound!
-Software volume control has been lost long ago, unrelated to this problem
but interested in recovery anyway
System is fully up to date. Any hints will be appreciated!
Some relevant lines in my /etc/modprobe.conf as is now, with some scars left
after unfruitful battles:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
#options snd-card-0 index=0
#options snd-hda-intel index=0
remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
