[CentOS] what to do about [abrt] full crash report kernel taint?

2012-01-13 Thread Thomas Burns
I have a machine with a recent install of centos (2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.x86_64 kernel). It crashed 3 times this week, and sent emails like the one below complaining about kernel taint. I've gone back to a previous kernel to see if that helps, but otherwise I don't know how to investigate this. What s

[CentOS] NetworkManager turned off yet clobbered yp.conf on boot?

2011-12-12 Thread Thomas Burns
A system had a disk problem, I took out the disk, mounted on another system, tweaked around until I thought the disk problem was fixed, then put it back in the original system. I did not edit any config files among the tweaks. When I booted the system, NIS was not working right. I found that these

[CentOS] how to install standard software on systems with heterogeneous hardware?

2011-11-29 Thread Thomas Burns
I've been thinking about ways to proceed if I need to set up 5 machines with basically identical software but somewhat variable hardware. A simple approach would be to just set up my golden system and clone the disk, but the hardware differences would probably cause problems. One approach that app
