Nick's solution will work if you can get a grub command line, if not, just get into single mode and install grub onto both drives the seperately to ensure each one would be bootable in the event of a failure.

I don't understand. You said that it was the clients that you were looking to have authenticate to the server?

I just looked at this, does anyone know how to change the console font,
and if this is just a bug that makes the ansis and ncurses display
improperly or is that the way it will be from now on.
responses from anyone who knows would be greatly appreciated.

dam, the price went down and I was just ready to order it too..
There's a few things i'll try, if it really is ncurses, then perhaps it
could be fixed by forcing on the version from 7.3. i've got a test
install, i'll try some things and see.

Re: ANSI graphics not displaying properly in 8.0
Thanks for everyone who helped! these changes (mainly the LANG setting) to the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file fixed most of the problems. #LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LANG="en_US" SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en" #SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" SYSFONT="lat0-sun16" I noticed that ncurses and ansis still aren't quite right, it's mainly anything that was yellow is now brown.

Is this really necessary, I tested a 7.3 install and each drive worked on it's own easily when I tried to simulate a drive failure. With 8.0 it doesn't look like it will do that for some reason, I can still mount the second HD but cannot boot off of it.

Re: RAID 1 problem - solved, follow up
I have tested some different things out and it seems to work ok now. What I noticed is that the partitioning on the drives should be the same if you want to raid / and be able to boot any drive individually to simulate a failure. Otherwise you'll have to edit the grub line (if you can get to one) and change the hd=x,x line to whetever it should be for the differently partitioned drive. However, using one drive, I switched it from the hda to hdc or vice versa, it would still boot because it is hd=0,0. I upgraded the kernel and even made some other changes and it still worked fine, so I don't see the need for a seperate /boot partition afterall. hope this helps anyone else ... P.S. Many of the installer errors went away when I changed a HD, even though it is perfectly functional.

GRUB problems
I seem to be getting this error when I tried using grub-install: /dev/xxx does not have a corresponding BIOS drive. Does anyone know what this means, my computer just says GRUB loading stage 2 at bootup and hangs. Even when I tried writing a new bootdisk, it does the same. It seems like running grub-install /dev/xxx changed something. thanks.. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
Re: GRUB problems
It doesn't list the error I am getting. Now matter what I do it keeps saying: /dev/md0 does not have a corresponding BIOS drive Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: GRUB problems - SOLVED
I just managed to get it, I hope this could save someone else trouble if your system ever becomes unbootable. Don't use grub-install and to setup grub to boot again, type 'grub' to get to it's command line, then type: root (hdx,x) find /boot/grub/stage1 setup (hd0) and it should work..

Re: Freeze on bootup after install with Redhat 8.0
when you hard reboot, will it startt up properly then? I used to have this but hat was a long time ago, I suspected it to be a a setting in the bios that was causing it, try disabling some of the shadowing or playing around with the bios and see.

RE: How To Verify Software RAID?
the 2 U's show which drives are currently part of the array. The raid-howto on redhat's site is a good source of info for this.

Re: Hyper Threaded Pentium 4
this shouldn't have to be the case, when the P-pro came out it was like that because of it's new features and intel just wanted to get it out the door, but when the P-II came out it had optimization for 16 bit code + a lot of other bug fixes. If it is slower, that's likely to change eventually. > I'm not sure what types of processes make heavy use of this cache but there > performance is degraded by HyperThreading from what I understand.
