[CentOS] installer and os-prober not finding Windows XP installation
I installed CentOS 7 on a Shuttle X27D box (dual-core Atom 330), and
so far it seems to work fine, but it didn't set up a Grub2 entry for
the existing Windows XP installation in the first partition (MBR).
Running os-prober generates no output.
fdisk shows that the NTFS partition is still present as /dev/sda1, and
still has the bootable flag set.
I added a menuentry for Windows to the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom:
menuentry "Windows" {
set root=(hd0,1)
chainloader +1
}
and ran:
grub2-mkconfig >/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
and that lets me boot Windows, but I thought this was supposed to be
taken care of automatically. Is there any known problem that prevents
the installer or Grub2 from finding Windows XP?
I don't normally set up dual-boot on production machines, but I use it
a lot for testing.
Thanks,
Eric

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't CentOS remove the facilities for using the Red Hat Network, e.g., through yum? If so, removing abrt or not having it attempt to use Red Hat's abrt server end would be entirely consistent with that, even though it goes beyond "removing branding and artwork". ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Maybe I can find some time to look at it next week, or maybe not. But is there a drawback to just dropping the abrt package until there's a better solution? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] update repo problem?
I'm trying to install the build dependencies for an SRPM using yum-builddep, and it's telling me that it can't get the repo sqlite file for updates-source from vault. Any ideas? Something wrong with my repo configuration? The only thing I've done that should have touched the repo configuration is installing epel-release-7-1.noarch. Thanks!

Re: [CentOS] USB 3.0 Driver

I've used a variety of no-name cards with the NEC (now Renesas) uPD72020x series host adapter chips, and they've all worked fine. I'd steer clear of the "no additional power connection needed" cards; in my experience they can't supply the maximum power the ports may require (5V@900mA per port, i.e., 4.5W per port, 18W total for a four-port card). Proper USB 3.0 cards have a disk drive power connector for the power required. In principle it's possible for a PCIe USB host adapter to have a switching regulator to provide sufficient USB power from the +12V supply rail, but, I have yet to see one that does. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
