 We're currently running almost 20 instances with aws.  We're using CentOS
 5.4/5.5 as the base, and the 2.6.18 kernel image provided by amazon in the
 form of their 2.6.18-ec2-v1.4(may have that form wrong).  This works well,
 but its also from December 2009 so we're 6 months off where Cent is now.

I was just playing with this over the last couple of days.  I found
that while all of upstream's kernels on ec2 seem to be marked as paid,
another rebuilder of upstream, Oracle, has kernels and initrds out
there for free.  I just grabbed the appropriate kernel-xen from OEL
and installed it, and my hand-rolled Centos5.5 image booted off their
aki/ari without any problems.  They don't seem to have the -194 kernel
out there yet, but at least -164...

Not ideal, but it works.

 I've got a Centos 5.4 box that is not rotating it's mail logs. I just
 found out about this, the file is considerably large. I've included my
 log rotation configs if anyone has any suggestions i'm open to them.

I had a system, set up very minimally by someone else, exhibit this
behavior.  In my case, turned out that the crontabs package was not
installed, which has the general cron config.  Check that?

Re: [CentOS] Problem kernel module DRBD on CentOS 5.3

 Hi All,
 I'm just tried to install and build replicate failover PDC using DRBD and
 HA, but i can't load DRBD kernel module.
 Now i'm using CentOS 5.3 up to date. This DRBD's installed:
 kmod-drbd83-xen-8.3.2-6.el5_3
 kmod-drbd83-PAE-8.3.2-6.el5_3
 drbd83-8.3.2-6.el5_3
 kmod-drbd83-8.3.2-6.el5_3

 Anyone resolved this?

A problem I had was that I didn't have binutils installed (gave an
error about not being able to find nm, but still installed the
package); you might make sure you do have binutils, and if not, remove
kmod-drbd83*, install binutils, then reinstall the appropriate kmod(s)
(I believe the -PAE one is the right one for you based on what you
reported later in the thread).

binutils should probably be a Requires: in these kmod rpms?
