[CentOS-docs] Suggestions on I Need the Kernel Source Wiki pages
Hi all, I am a newcomer to CentOS but slightly less so to Linux in general (FC4-F9). In short, I am trying to make an old SB Vibra 16C (ISA) sound card work in Centos 5. To achieve this, support for ISA bus and ISA PnP is apparently needed in kernel. Therefore, a custom kernel needs to be built. -- Yes, I have read all the warnings of lack of support, etc. As a first step, I had to build the complete kernel tree according to I Need the Kernel Source CentOS Wiki. I tried to meticulously follow the directions given there but it took five or six attempts before I had a complete tree in ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/. Would you please consider the following questions in order to decide if any changes/additions are necessary in the article: a) In section 2.1 it is said: [EMAIL PROTECTED] yum install rpm-build. To 'yum install' something you need to be superuser (as confirmed by '#' prompt before the command). Shouldn't the example read: [EMAIL PROTECTED] yum install rpm-build? b) The next command on the page is rpm -i http://mirror.centos.org...;. Two of my futile attempts to install the ...src.rpm were due to the fact that 1) I did not understand and then 2) forgot to exit from root before trying to install the source rpm. Shouldn't there be at least a $ prompt (and perhaps the directory, too) before the 'rpm -i' command? c) One attempt of 'rpmbuild' failed because redhat-rpm-config is needed by kernel-2.6.18-92.1.6.el5.i686. This may not apply to everyone but it certainly applied to me who had only installed 5.1 in March and updated it to 5.2 in July by just updating when told to do so. Perhaps it would be advisable to add # yum install redhat-rpm-config to the article? d) Two attempts of 'rpmbuild' perhaps failed because I inadvertently used single quotes or apostrophes around 'uname -m' instead of `s (accent grave?). The result in prep-err.log, however, was: Building target platforms: uname -m and Building for target uname -m. I had to explicitly insert i686 in the 'rpmbuild' command like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec 2 If this is what the user is supposed to do anyway, perhaps it could be worded a little differently to make it perfectly clear? On the other hand, if 'accent grave' characters around 'uname -m' really work in replacing the proper architecture in the command, perhaps the text should emphasize the fact? I foolishly did not cut-and-paste the 'rpmbuild' command but wrote it myself. I realize there is another thread about these Wiki pages currently being discussed on centos-docs list but I thought it better to start a new thread.

Not that I am discouraging it but, especially in CentOS, this kind of practice should be done by those who know very well what they are doing. For one thing, they cannot expect official support from CentOS. For another, they may well break their system. If this sounds too harsh, I apologize. However, I want to add that CentOS community members do help each other for matters that may be outside the areas of official support by the CentOS team.

What I did is I got a list of printer names along with IP addresses and using the CUPS lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v lpd://IP_ADDR/lp I loaded them onto the new machine running RHEL 4.6. Printer tests show that it works fine. And if I use the CUPS web interface at http://localhost:631 Everything shows up. But if I launch the RH (and presumably CentOS works the same way) system-config-printer interface after adding the printers the CUPS way, nothing shows up in the RH interface. Probably not a big deal, but I have a colleague that will go nuts over this. He's attached to his interfaces, but there was no way I was going to manually enter those printers in that interface.

The Red Hat Certified Engineer Linux Study Guide does not describe this and I could not find any description on the internet. Maybe you can provide us with some more information, as like which provider are you using in which country, what kind of hardware are you using to connect to DSL (router/pci card?), which version of CentOS are you using and maybe other info that might be of use ? The case is that I used the GUI for my fedora box and now would like to set the same to my centos server that would be the firewall. I use eth0 to connect to my service provider's network. When I set up on fedora I choose DSL and gave login name and password and worked out of the box. I use CentOs 5.1 on my server. I would like to use an editor better than the GUI to configure this. My provider is Digi Tv in Hungary. I wonder why do you need all this, isn't there a good description of the config scripts somewhere? - Gergely We need all of that because how you set up your dsl depends upon how your provider provides you with access. pppoe or pppoa etc. etc. At any rate, as mentioned by others you can use adsl-setup to configure your connection, or if you want to edit some text files manually you can have a peek in /etc/ppp/ The files of particular interest would be, pap-secrets, chap-secrets, and pppoe-server-options.

I believe the reason is that according to http://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-May/msg2.html the pnm2ppa filter got dropped between RHEL 4 and RHEL 5, or between Fedora 6 and RHEL 5, depending on how you look at it. Foomatic still generates the pnm2ppa.xml file, but there is no pnm2ppa binary filter installed, so any print attempt ends with an error message. I don't find that any repo I have installed has picked this up for x86_64 architecture. Do I need to add a repo? Has this not been an issue for enough people that someone has made it available from a repo? Right now this has been a show-stopper on upgrading from Centos 4 to 5, as it is hard to use the workstation without a printer. Any help appreciated. Since no repo seems to be interested in adding this printer driver, I installed the one included with Fedora 6 (rpm doesn't care what repo it came from, if you can get the URL right), and so far it is working. At least I can start using my Centos 5 workstation. Well I wouldn't say that 'no repo' is interested... its more that the repos look for suggestions on their lists. Asking on this list can sometimes do it, but most likely it will get missed. It would be nice if someone would add this to some repo somewhere, so it could be installed by yum. Unfortunately, it only supports a half dozen printers, so I guess it is hard to get anyone motivated. The first person to get motivated is yourself. Dag, atrpms, rpmrepo, epel etc all look for people to do this... because well Dag, Axel, and most of the EPEL people have other jobs and need more sleep than they get.

Apparently, 2 cables are touching. They mentioned running a new cable in the air, instead of underground. I was surprised that they found this problem, because at the same time, on speedtest.net I got a Download speed of 1780 from a server in Orlando and our contract with our ISP is for 550, so I was happy with the speed they were providing to us. I think you can leave those settings alone, as they only will be used if you point DNS settings at the modems ip address. If you set your IPcop box at 127.0.0.1 it should seek out to the root servers by itself. Cool. It sounds like all I need to do is change the one setting in the IPCop box and if all goes well, my Caching DNS Server is up and running. I will try it, ASAP, on our backup IPCop box. If I get up *early* Sunday morning, I will try it then. As I posted earlier, you will have to poke around in the ipcop setup menu to get dhcp and custom DNS settings both working. That's why I want to do it on the backup IPCop box. If it stops working, my VIP users can continue using the IPCop box that works and I don't have irate users. :-) The IPCop box is our Production server. :-) I just played with one of my test vmware ipcop images and set it to dhcp on our internal network (which should simulate your natted connection through your adsl modem) for the red interface and I was able to dig +trace google.com with proper answers. So it is possible to get it working unless your ISP blocks DNS queries to anywhere else but their own servers. Hoping they are not blocking those DNS queries or any other traffic.
