[CentOS] EDAC Kernel Panic 2.6.9-78 and above

2009-10-19 Thread Chris Miller
I've got a production system running CentOS 4 that was rock solid until I upgraded from 2.6.9-55 to 2.6.9-78.0.13 (now running 2.6.9-89.0.11). The system now crashes intermittently after a few weeks. I finally caught the panic message : EDAC MC0: INTERNAL ERROR: channel-b out of range (4 >= 4) Ke

[CentOS] Correct way to provide kernel patch

2009-03-16 Thread Chris Miller
I work with a USB device that is intercepted by the USB HID driver. In order to stop this behavior, the device needs to be added to the HID blacklist (hid-core.c) and a custom kernel needs to be compiled. If I create a CentOS specific patch, it appears I need to create the patch against an alread

[CentOS] Keeping a complete CentOS mirror

2008-10-02 Thread Chris Miller
Is there a way I can keep a complete mirror of old/new releases of CentOS 4/5 automagically? In other words I would pull the old files from the vault site when needed, and new files from one of the other mirrors. I've seen/used a few scripts but rsync just stomps the old releases with the latest.

[CentOS] Bind update overwrites named.conf

2008-07-09 Thread Chris Miller
I just had a customer's bind server lose all of it's local DNS records. Yum updated the bind packages this morning at ~6am, and replaced the original /etc/named.conf file, saving the old as named.conf.rpmsave. This seems like the opposite of what it should have done (i.e. save the new file as
