Bottom line is that it booted once but not a second time after logging off. Mentioned this I think. So that is where I have difficulties. In FAQ 2 above, the 'will start on boot in the future" is what id doesn't do.

If you can log in and use an editor in character mode you can fix it. The change needed in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 will be obvious once you get that far. But, it might be easier to reinstall if you don't know how to do that.

In the CentOS forum under Software Support is my thread: Centos 6.4 won't install on reboot. Post number 27 or 28 lists the output I got from FAQ2 above from cat /etc /sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 My guess is the most important line there is ONBOOT=yes Anyway, there are suggestions in the forum which I will follow and then post the results back to the forum.

[CentOS] silencing Passenger "ps" SELinux errors
Hello, how do people cope with constant SELinux errors like this from Fusion Passenger: 36886. 03/27/2013 14:20:05 ps unconfined_u:system_r:passenger_t:s0 2 file open system_u:system_r:udev_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 denied 1922 36887. 03/27/2013 14:20:05 ps unconfined_u:system_r:passenger_t:s0 4 dir getattr unconfined_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 denied 1927 36888. 03/27/2013 14:20:05 ps unconfined_u:system_r:passenger_t:s0 2 dir search unconfined_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 denied 1928 It happens when Passenger v3 tries to determine memory stats with "ps". There is an Apache directive to turn it of ( http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html#PassengerMemoryLimit ), unfortunately it does not work in community version of Passenger. The cause is always ps running as passenger_t trying to read files in /proc with various types of security context.

[CentOS] Minimal ISO: GRUB UEFI has incorrect config
Hello, I've just tried to use CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso, but it does not work unmodified. The grub commands used by the ISO for installation/rescue are: kernel /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz ... initrd /images/pxeboot/initrd.img These paths do not exist on disk. If I manually correct these to: kernel /images/vmlinuz ... initrd /images/initrd.img The installation is able to proceed normally.

[CentOS] Kernel 2.6.32-358 networking issues...
Hi, after a long general power failure, I had to power off/on my soon to be 6.4 firewall (updated to 6.4, but not rebooted yet). After the off/on, everything seemed to be fine. But I realized there were some specific/weird heavy slow downs. In one case, the windows clients *uploads* would stall (very slow), while the linux clients had no apparent upload issues... (MTU?). In another case, the openvpn clients could not use the connection at all (way too slo). After trying countless of diagnostics/tests, I reinstalled/booted the old kernel 2.6.32-279.22.1 and... everything went back to normal. So, for now, I am stuck with the old kernel... Anyone else bumped into such issues after 6.4? Setup: C6 x86_64 / shorewall+openvpn(udp)... Thx, JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Kernel 2.6.32-358 networking issues...
did you actually capture the traffic counting the process time spending on a single packet IN and OUT of the system? Maybe you can try to install a factory driver of the network card to see if it's helpful. First of all, better figuring out where the problem is. Kernel itself or driver. To openvpn, you can use strace for a single connection test. But capture first.

Thanks again. Yes, the ONBOOT=yes is already there. However, some of the other parts of that thread make me think that your network interface actually comes up but you are not getting a DHCP address or the DHCP server supplies a DNS server address that does not work. These would usually be supplied by your internet router. Are you confident that it is set up correctly? The reason I think this is the problem is the post where you said you could log in after a very long delay. About the only thing that can cause a very long delay is the system waiting for DNS responses on what it thinks is a working network interface. The next things needed for further diagnosis would be the output of the 'ifconfig' command after you are able to log in, and the results from 'cat /etc/resolv.conf.

The IP address looks like what you would get from a typical home router, so that's probably OK. A quick test for DNS would be the 'dig' command. If it quickly returns a screenfull of root nameservers and addresses, then DNS is not the problem.If it doesn't, then check what you have in your /etc/resolv.conf file. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

OK, never mind about DNS. And on a 2nd thought, the delays it causes would be early in the startup where sendmail/samba, etc. start. Not sure why the Gnome desktop would wait for anything. I thought all it needed was the localhost entry in /etc/hosts to satisfy the need for a hostname.. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Because then you'd have to install a version of Windows (or any other OS) signed FOR THAT BOARD AND UEFI. Secure Boot has its design rooted in x509, just like SSL. There could be more than one trusted CA, and will be when users install one of their own. However, the more CAs there are, the greater the risk of malware being signed and compromising the security of the system. MS doesn't provide the signing service, anyway. Verisign does. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
