Typically that error means that "sda" does not appear in /boot/grub/device.map. Your previous system probably used hda instead. Update that file, replacing hda with sda, then reinstall grub. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

CentOS simply rebuilds the package, and I'm reasonably certain that I recall statements from the CentOS maintainers that Red Hat's changes don't affect their process.

As I understand, that's not exactly true. They have two kernels, UEK which is not even the same version as the upstream and the one that's identical to the upstream. They don't have to follow every single upstream patch and apply to theirs. I have the impression they have a completely separate bunch working on their own kernel & modifications.

To be honest, it never had any traction. At least not down here. And it goes back to the Sun days, pre-Oracle. Back in 2006 and 2007 Sun spent a lot in marketing and was down here at Linux events with a Solaris booth or offering CDs etc... nobody paid much attention to them... I think the market for Solaris is the big corporations that use it to run on high-end Sun/Oracle hardware (mostly Sparc), and those prefer to pay to have a commercial grade solution with support. My guess is that ORCL thought that they'd never get any ROI over 'free' Solaris, nor any sizeable market share gain wrt Linux... While some features like zones and zfs are interesting, Linux has also improved as of late to fill some of those gaps...

In the end what matters is if Oracle's kernel programmers are any better at fixing bugs than RHAT's and if their support responds on time or not. For us end users with no support contract, the more heads and firms that are involved in kernel dev and linux support, the better, more chance of getting higher quality software.

AFAIK if you check distrowatch Oracle Linux ranks #50 and CentOS ranks #8. Also, I read somewhere that ORCL has 8,000 paid custmers to their Linux subscription hardly a major player still.

I said that Oracle Database does not interest me, because MySQL / PostgreSQL is enough for my simple needs. And I couldn' t afford the price of Oracle's commercial database even if I wanted to use it. Now, their entry-level Linux support subscription is another thing... if I start providing commercial services on top of a Linux box I'd rather pay whatever entry level fee I can to get *some* level of support (specially wrt priority security fixes). And there ORCL linux is the most affordable compared to RHEL. That's what I said and there's no contradiction.

[CentOS] n00b rsyslog.conf question - how to separate local syslog from network appliance syslog?
I have several network appliances, and I want aggregate their syslog output for later analysis. Eventually I might think about a Splunk box, but for the interim I'm hoping to just build a CentOS 6 syslog server and have it aggregate everything on it for quick review. I installed rsyslog and am looking through the /etc/rsyslog.conf file for what I configure to (a) listen for syslog input from other devices (UDP port 514 is fine), (b) make a log, and (c) log rotate files. (a) I see in there (if I comment it out) # Provides UDP syslog reception $ModLoad imudp $UDPServerRun 514 (Obviously add an iptables rule to let this traffic in) (b) I see options in there, but am not sure how to separate the local logs from the remote logs. Is it something like the following? *.*;local6.none; auth,authpriv.none-/var/log/syslog (c) I understand I can do if I edit /etc/logrotate.d/MyNetworkAppliance.log. This isn't as big of a concern right now. Just trying to figure out how to log things separately. :/ Any suggestions on what I should do to make this work? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
