Thanks for the suggestion Mark. So, I can only read so fast, but a bunch of stuff flies by then it stops at the following: *Switching to clocksource tsc* And a good while later, this line pops up: *IPMI BT: timeout in WR_CONSUME [ B_BUSY H_BUSY OEM0 SMS B2H H2B ] 1 retries left* On Thu, Sep

By the way, when that last line pops up, the machine is frozen solid. I have to hit the reset (or power) switch to get it back. On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 3:22 PM, wrote: > Ashley M. Kirchner wrote: > > I have an old server (old hardware) that's been running 6.4 with kernel > > 2.6.32-279.19.1.el

I have an old server (old hardware) that's been running 6.4 with kernel 2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.i686, no problem. Except, any kernel update after that causes it not to boot anymore. All I get is a blinking cursor on the screen, nothing else. Is this the end of this hardware, no more kernel updates a

Kernel 279 runs fine with those options listed in my first e-mail. And it copies them over to any newer kernel. I'll have to tear the box open tomorrow to get details on it. It's a custom made white box, several years old, running dual Pentuim III processors. On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 3:39 PM,

[CentOS] Centos 5.0 Printer Reshare

2013-09-19 Thread John Krautkramer
Hi, I have a number of networked printers configured on my server. Some are mounts from other SMB servers, some are directly connected via socket://ip_address:9100. I can't find how to allow other Unix/Linux machines to use these printers. I need to re-share them for use by these other machines.
