But if you feel adding notes that pertain to the cplus kernel makes the wiki article a better one, I would be willing to do it. Actually, as you can probably see in my recent post to the CentOS list, I had to create a custom kernel to support a specific hardware that I had. I also needed XFS, that's why I did it over the CentOS Plus kernel. It was not that hard to do it based on the original instructions, but there are some differences. For example, the snippet that starts at line 4779, the one that starts with #if a rhel kernel, apply the rhel config options, that one is not present at all on the CentOS kernel, but I just went ahead and it worked fine. At the end, although in some places I had to make a choice on whether I followed the instructions for the default kernel or not, I could successfully build it and it worked, and it was not too hard (took me just 2 or 3 hours to do it). What I think would be really great would be an explanation of why the items in section 3. Modifying the kernel spec file have to be done, because knowing what does each of them do and why they have to be commented would have helped me in choosing what I should and what I should not do. Of course, that page by itself is a great guide, and including lots of explanations of why this and why that would probably be a lot of clutter there, but maybe a separate page with the rationale would be very useful, especially when new kernels are available (CentOS 6?) and the page will no longer work in terms of following literal instructions. Another thing that bit me yesterday is that I used a buildid for my kernel, and then I could no longer load the XFS filesystem. I had to rebuild the xfs-kmod RPM as well, in that case I had to use a special rpmbuild command line so that it compiled it only for my arch, only for the default kernel (not xen, etc.) and for that specific buildid. I don't recall exactly which command line I used, and my build host was reinstalled soon after that, but if you wish I could try to reproduce that environment again in another machine to get it right and post it here.

I also needed XFS, that's why I did it over the CentOS Plus kernel. As you later mentioned in your post, xfs is now provided as a kernel module, kmod-xfs. So, you do not really have to go for the cplus kernel if this was the only reason (just a comment). It was not that hard to do it based on the original instructions, but there are some differences. For example, the snippet that starts at line 4779, the one that starts with #if a rhel kernel, apply the rhel config options, that one is not present at all on the CentOS kernel, but I just went ahead and it worked fine. That very change (deleting the #if a rhel kernel,.. portion) actually originated from the cplus kernel. Mr. Hughes, with his great talent, discovered that the presence of that section (template) was preventing him from customizing the distro kernel when RHEL 5 was released. So, he added that note to the Custom Kernel wiki page as a special note for CentOS-5 only. Another thing that bit me yesterday is that I used a buildid for my kernel, and then I could no longer load the XFS filesystem.

As posted by Mr. Singh somewhere else, we will soon have kmods that utilize the weak updates feature. This means no more compilation of the kmods for each kernel update. I just heard that the new kmods for the latest CentOS-5 kernel should be out any minutes now. Thanks a lot!

[CentOS-es] Selinux targeted source en Centos 5.2
Muy buenas lista! Hace algunas semana comencé a utilizar CentOS para un servidor, y la verdad es que fué una gran decisión. Los contacto para ver si me pueden ayudar un poco con SELinux, ya que voy medio perdido y me encantaría implementarlo. Leyendo algunos manuales y sitios, veo que una forma práctica de verlo y modificarlo, es teniendo los sources de las políticas con el paquete selinux-policy-targeted-sources. El problema es que no encuentro dicho paquete. Agregué un segundo repositorio para ver si era problemas del que tenía (telmex de chile), pero sin resultados. Alguien tiene idea si el paquete tiene otro nombre o que puedo estar haciendo mal? Ya instalé prácticamente todo lo que contenga selinux en el nombre, pero no logro encontrarlo. Muchas gracias.

AW: [CentOS] Nightly yum update did an upgrade
Oh, c'mon! If I want to talk about professional honor, I'd prefer a different list. I know, that they're switched of by default - but I didn't set up this machine and I have rarely any documentation about it. Somebody (my predecessor) enabled nightly updates and I thought, there might be a reason for it. Until last night I didn't even know, somebody has enabled it. Also I didn't now, that nightly updates include upgrades and this doesn't makes sense to me either. Who wants to get 193 packages including kernel, glibc and the like, without any notice over night on his machine? So, I thought it might be possible to stick in the release during nightly updates, but your educational answer doesn't help much.

I would like do to nightly updates, but make release upgrades manual (I get a new kernel, so I have to reboot anyway). Hi, Personally I enable nightly updates but disable the updating of certain packages (services) that the server provides. For this I use the 'exclude' statement in the /etc/yum.conf file.

Of course I want more and to physically scroll the screen to see all of the content (the OQO has slide bars on it that do cause the current active window to scroll). When I change the monitor settings to Generic LCD 1024x768, I get that and 800x600 as an option. If I change the screen resolution to either 800x600 or 1024x768, and log out of X and log back in, my resolution is unchanged at 800x480. So I tried using the VIA driver that comes with Centos. It does not list the CX700, but, you know, give it a try. At first I get errors from X when logging in, finally I get changes to occur, but I am still at 800x480.

[CentOS] Services take a long time during initialzation (LDAP-authentication)
Hi! I've got a CentOS4.7-machine as a fileserver. The machine also serves as the LDAP-server against which all regular users are authenticated. The problem I am having is that the machine takes a very long time to boot. Most of the services start up rather quick, but three services take quite a long time (extending the boot time to over half an hour, which is long) The three services are (in that order): - NFS statd - LDAP - NFS quota As soon as the LDAP-Service (and sshd) has started I can remotly log into the machine: the rpc.quotad has started but takes no CPU-time (so I guess he must be waiting for something) Some other observations I had: - a restart of LDAP takes several minutes - if the LDAP-service is down a su ldap (ldap IS in /etc/passwd) seems to hang. The ldap-service-script does such a su to check the configuration so I guess that is what takes the service so long) Could anyone give me a hint what the problem could be and how to fix it?

[CentOS] Keeping a complete CentOS mirror
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. The key issue here is having new release detection happen programmatically so I don't need to manage it once it's setup. Before I reinvent the wheel, I just wanted to see if there was a known method of accomplishing this. Q. Why? A. Because I have customers that need access to older OS builds as their products do not move as quickly as CentOS. Thanks in advance.

[CentOS] Install CentOS-5.0 on HP-ComPaq DC7700 Dual Core
I am attempting to install CentOS-5.0 from CD-ROM onto an HPQ- DC7700 Dual
Core machine. The standard install seems to halt at, or immediately after,
this point in the setup process is displayed on the console:
Enter {default install option}
...
CPU1: Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 CPU 4300 @ 1.8GHz stepping 02
...
ACPI: Assume root bridge [\_sb_.pc10] bus is 0.
I would like to get this box running so any help with this is greatly
appreciated. The reason for using CentOS-5.0 is because I do not which to
wait 30 some odd hours to download new ISO images. The plan is to install
from 5.0 and upgrade to 5.2.
last point. I am a digest subscriber so the favour of a direct reply
(REPLY ALL) is requested.

So back to cntl-alt-F1 and I see messages about VNC mode (I have vncserver configured but not running), so it ws trying to do something to accomidate vncserver if I should start it up? And there are sections in the new xorg.conf that are not in the current. Like one for the mouse, a files section and the like, so I figured i would cut and paste, but first Of course it helps to read the relevant documentation :o) I just indicated this method which I've been using for all the years on Linux. I began on Slackware, where there is (almost) no configuration helper, so you have to read the docs. There's no way around it. And when I switched to other distros (like CentOS), I simply kept the habit of configuring things by hand. IIRC, I spent much time with the FreeBSD documentation about the graphical server. It's really well done, explaining everything step by step. But then, it's not something you can learn quickly in a matter of minutes. It takes some time, but it's worth it.

Again, there is no such thing as an upgrade or a release in terms of updates. It was *not* what you call upgrade that caused your problem. It was an update, not necessarily belonging to 4.7 at all, or it was not related to updates at all. There might also have been a kernel update on Sept. 14 and you didn't reboot since then. Which, for whatever reason lead to your problem. I think you do not know at all that your problem is related to 4.7, so stop telling so!

Can I control the update policy not to upgrade to new releases in the nightly updates? I would like do to nightly updates, but make release upgrades manual (I get a new kernel, so I have to reboot anyway). Is that possible? No, the updates aren't nicely separated into ones that will break the services you happen to need and ones that won't. On the other hand it is pretty rare for a Centos update to break anything, so you might want to investigate the actual problem you had. Want I normally do for critical servers is: yum install yum-downloadonly Then periodically yum -y --downloadonly which can run unattended, be ssh'd to a bunch of machines in a loop, etc. since it won't install anything. Then when you have time to babysit the actual install and reboot if it's a kernel or libc update, do the 'yum -y update' which will go quickly since the packages are already downloaded. Having a similar system to test first is always a good idea, but I can't think of anything in years where a Centos update actually caused a problem that couldn't be fixed quickly if you watched the rpmsave/rpmnew files from the installs. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
