Release Notes for 6.2 are available at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.2 - we recommend everyone looks through those once. CentOS-6.2 is based on the upstream release EL 6.2 and includes packages from all variants. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. All updates released since upstream 6.2 release are also released to the CentOS-6.2 mirrors. With this release we are now back to a regular, managed and tested release path and time scales. However, for the time being, we are going to retain the CR/ repo in the event its needed in the future to push ahead-of-release updates. +++ Upgrading from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5: We recommend everyone run through a reinstall rather than attempt an inplace upgrade from CentOS-4 or CentOS-5 +++ Downloading CentOS-6.2 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. In most cases you will find its also the fastest means to download the distro. There are currently over a thousand people seeding CentOS-6 and it's possible to get upto 400mbps downloads via these torrents. Torrent files for the DVD's are available at : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.2/isos/i386/CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD1to2.torrent http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.2/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.2-x86_64-bin-DVD1to2.torrent You can also use a mirror close to you : http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30 Most mirrors will allow direct DVD downloads over http, ftp and rsync. Please keep in mind that not all mirrors are currently updated, some might take upto another 24 hours before they have all the content. +++ sha1sum for the CentOS-6.2 ISOS: i386: ad741581b3d3969bcf867cf1e47160902c8876f6 CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD1.iso 6131d4c8ca2be77a25eaf1c61f94c7500786e683 CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD2.iso 353d7e070a4cfc34148f9610b05cf1c55ad4fa57 CentOS-6.2-i386-minimal.iso 02444d6984089d9fc16ca989781482c8202357f0 CentOS-6.2-i386-netinstall.iso x86_64: d97377c83fab7493dbd1c2e04dab29c8ba6cd351 CentOS-6.2-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso 7eac42c403725891b53cd899f0ef7560dc3a9d72 CentOS-6.2-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso 10b26ce414af86be26f3a47dcc76d8f81e333979 CentOS-6.2-x86_64-minimal.iso 4858a8870cc5048876edd51dead25b9c718fcfbe CentOS-6.2-x86_64-netinstall.iso +++ Sources and Debuginfo packages: SRPMS and debuginfo packages are released to vault.centos.org - A separate announcement will be send through about how we are changing the way we handle srpms and debuginfo rpms from here on in order to improve the overall user experience. +++ Getting Help: The best place to start when looking for help with CentOS is at the wiki ( http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp ) which lists various options and communities who might be able to help. If you think there is a bug in the system, do report it at http://bugs.centos.org/ - but keep in mind that the bugs system is *not* a support mechanism. +++ Contributing and joining the project: We are always looking for people to join and help with various things in the project.

Hi, after a lot of head scratching I found that the ifup-eth script in the initscripts package seems to be corrupt. I filed a bug with the details here: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5333 Given the nature of the corruption you might be not affected at all, see strange error messages or end up with networking problems on Centos 5.7 depending on what you configuration looks like. I just thought I'd mention it here in case someone is in the same position as me and sees weird things happening when dealing with network configuration.

[CentOS] Will CentOS 6.1 still be supported?
Hello, Got a question, will CentOS6.1 continue to be supported with updates, or is it mandatory to upgrade to 6.2? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Will CentOS 6.1 still be supported?
No more updates for v6.1. This is the RedHat/CentOS model. Think of the minor version numbers as 'service packs', as opposed to releases. For example, let X < Y. Then, Everything fixed in 6.x is also fixed in 6.y. However, updates new to v6.y are not made available for v6.x. - Original Message - > From: "Edward Martinez" > To: "CentOS mailing list" > Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2011 2:31:19 PM > Subject: [CentOS] Will CentOS 6.1 still be supported? > > Hello, > > > Got a question, will CentOS6.1 continue to be supported with > updates, > or is it mandatory to upgrade to 6.2? > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

So if you do an 'yum update', you will see a lot of packages being updated, and you will be automatically at 6.2. Why would you stay at 6.1 ? During all the life of a major version, 6.x for example, there are the same versions of packages, only with updates. For information, Scientific Linux does not work this way. You stay at a point version, 6.1 for example, and get updates for this point release (as CR repository). You have to ask explicitly to upgrade to next point release.

Updates are available for 6.1. Apply them and you have 6.2...

And, unlike the older builds, we did not need to build anything outside of the CentOS RPMS, etc. If you take a look here, SL has documented packages that do not build correctly with only EL6 as the host: http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/build/koji/targets/ If you look here, there are other things that required special building orders and packages: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5180 There was also the fact that several packages did not build correctly because of a change in the default environment: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743229 Then there were packages that would build with only a specific version of gcc ... and there are packages that need glibc-static ... and packages with hidden build requiremnts (see the "config_opts['more_buildreqs']" stuff here: http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/build/koji/configs/site-defaults.cfg Those things all needed to be figured out manually, one by one, to get a good build environment. Now that we have figured those out, with the build environment set, we could just build and test packages and release them. As I said, the hardest part was getting the outliers and the build system built before ... moving forward it should be much faster now. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The upstream bugzilla that made the change you referenced is this one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684909 and the actual patch is: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=initscripts.git;a=commitdiff;h=eb389d68f4637418983e4b514a67eb84cf2f4d7b I think you should file a bug report upstream because CentOS makes modifications only by inheriting the upstream (RH) code.

[CentOS] KVM guests failed to start after 6.2 upgrade
I tore my hair out for a while after rebooting into 6.2 because none of the VM guests would start. After trying lots of things, like down grading qemu-kvm (which fixed it when I upgraded via the CR repository and didn't this time), cloning a VM, and even beginning to create new VM to restore from backup. Luckily I discovered that there is a log for each VM and found in each case it failed because vmvga is not compiled into KVM. So I changed them all to cirrus via virt-manager and they all work again. The host machine is all up to date and all of the guest start and operate as usual. Emmett ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] kernel panic/abort during boot
Just did an in-place update from 6.1 to 6.2 on my eeepc 901 (Atom CPU). during boot, (if I hit ESC to see the boot messages) it says "starging udev" then nothing else for a few seconds, then a huge register dump scrolls by. it's too big to see the beginning of it. If I boot from the prior kernel and look in /var/log/messages, I don't see any evidence of the failed boot. I've seen the other thread titled "kernel panic", and it seems to be due to a missing initramfs, but there is an initramfs for 2.6.32-220.el6 already in /boot, so I don't think that would be the problem.

If you come up empty (all the same kernel modules exist in both) then it's likely a bug in some kernel module. The "emergency_shell" part of dracut may be useful in debug this. When you reboot, during the grub menu, add this to the kernel's command line: rdbreak=cmdline During the boot process, you'll get dropped to a command line, and can run some of the basic commands provided intisde the initramfs. If you look at the "init" file inside the initramfs, you can see the different points you'll end up with with different arguments to rdbreak; ie, pre-udev, initqueue, etc. -- Corey Henderson http://cormander.com/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] 6.2 Radeon HDMI audio gotcha
I had some trouble (now solved) with the recent upgrade to 6.2. There was no sound from the DVI/HDMI output and video played back much too fast. Booting kernel-2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.x86_64 restored sound and video playback. The solution is to add 'radeon.audio=1' to the kernel arguments from grub and the new kernel also worked. I'm using CentOS 6 on a media computer with the following graphics chip: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 [Radeon HD 4200] 01:05.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4200 Series] The Linux 3.0 kernel has the audio device disabled by default because some users were suffering from blank screens. These changes were then backported to the Radeon kernel driver for 6.2. Some searching revealed this as known issue, including Fedora bug 754825 and Ubuntu bug 897008. I'm reporting this here because I didn't see it mentioned in either the upstream 6.2 release notes or the CentOS 6.2 release notes. Finally, thanks to the CentOS team for another fine release.
