Can you find the first time this problem occoured? How about trying
older kernel versions?
You are either dealing with misbehaving hardware/driver or you need to
tweak the settings on your clock source.
Believe it or not but good sources of info to fix this affect vmware
also so read those docs.

My friend uses a typical dual-boot setup (Windows XP and Centos 5.3).
The machine is online 24/7 and he often uses it from a remote location

You use "tar" to create a tar with the directory contents, and then
bzip2 to compress that tarfile.
You can use the "-j" option of tar to bzip2 on the fly.
This is probably what you want:

Hi all,
CentOS 5.2, not yet updated to 5.3.
Based on the alert on udev, I attempted to update udev and libvolume

Hi Filipe -
Clearly I have indeed got things broken -
# rpm -q yum
package yum is not installed
So I downloaded the rpm for a reinstall as you suggested - but clearly
I have more to get and install -
I downloaded to my home directory and ran the rpm -Uvh from there
# rpm -Uvh --force yum-3.2.
