[CentOS] I need help with CentOS installation on a Core 2 Duo Laptop

2008-11-19 Thread Sadaruwan Samaraweera
Hi,

 I've tried to install CentOS 5.2 on Core 2 Duo T5750 2.0Ghz laptop
but what happens is every thing hangs up when anconda system installer
starts. So I tried PCLinuxOS in it's text-based installer it detects
the CPU core 1 and when it try to detected the other one system gets
stuck. I tried these same two distro's  on another PC that have a AMD
X2 CPU on this PC I didn't had that problem everything went smoothly.

Thank you

 You'll want to merge the grub boot
  stanzas
into one file, apply it to
 one (or both) of the drives, and keep it
  in sync
when you do kernel
 updates (because those affect the grub
  menu)...
This way, you won't have
 to change the BIOS setting.

   
 OK, thx for the quick reply but I realy
  don't know
how to do that can any
 one help on that note.
   
   
Possibly what you need to do is add another entry
  in your
/etc/grub.conf file, on the HD you boot from.
  Below is
mine.

   It's handy that someone posted their grub file.
  
   The answer to your question/situation might be
  complicated by the fact that
   you use you have been changing your boot up disk in
  your BIOS.
  
   But the thing to look for in your grub.conf file is:
  
title CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.1.el5)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.1.el5 ro
  
   Note that this example includes an entry for a hard
  drive:
  
root (hd0,2)
  
   That entry points to the first hard drive,
  third partition.  If you
   have 2 hard drives, and you wanted to boot off the
  second drive
   first partition, you might use:
  root (hd1,0)
  
   You basically want to look at the grub configuration
  for each OS on
   each hard drive you installed it on, and in
  consolidating them, cut
   and paste entries from what you want to be your
  secondary drive to
   your primary boot drive.
  
   Again, this is only using the above grub.conf as an
  example.  If you
   have SCSI hard drives instead then probably the
  grub.conf will show
   something like:
 root (sd0,2)
  
   So it's important to look at your grub.conf and
  make modifications.
  
   Hope this helps.  If you want

  Hi,
 
   Yes I know what your saying ok! I didn't ask him any descent question

  coming after me

 First, don't get offended. If you've been on any/many lists for awhile,
 you'll know that time is at a premium for many of the participants and
 they tend to give short answers. *And* when someone gives definitive
 answers based on (possibly incorrect) assumptions (like the problem is
 similar to yours, equipment similar to yours, net setup similar, ...)
 they are quick to jump in because those answers may lead to severe
 damage to the recipient. Sometimes immediate harm, sometimes longer-term
 difficulty.

 Because of those risks, it is important to try to fully understand (to a
 *reasonable* extent, for the time expended) the nature of a problem, its
 operational environment, various constraints that may be in place, etc.,
 before offering solutions that may be tried. That is why, if you follow
 the lists on *good* sites like CentOS, you will often see (I'll
 exaggerate now) My network card doesn't work! Help followed by various
 types of responses saying, essentially, something like We need more
 information and those responses may ask specific questions.

 Solving many technical problems can be difficult even in a hands-on
 situation, it's inordinately more difficult to do remotely. As with
 *any* resolution process, the first step is to identify the *problem*,
 *not* the *symptoms*. Symptoms are clues pointing to the problem. Ergo,
 sufficient, but *not* excessive information is a necessity.

 *Experienced* people know this and will quickly try to help *educate*
 those who don't seem to know this, whether is is the person with the
 problem or one responding to the OP.

 That's why we are coming after you. The problem is not we are coming
 after you, the problem is that both the OP and you seem to have been
 extremely casual in the problem resolution process and that engenders a
 high degree of risk to the OP and none for you. Further it wastes the
 valuable time of those who might try to help, both in reading the
 original request for help (and then having to ask for even the most
 basic pertinent information) and in reading replies that may be offered
 that pose excessive risk to those who might use the offered solutions.
 So, education is in order so that *all* may benefit, including the OP,
 the folks who reply and even just those who have to wade through som
 many useless posts (and post of the type being discussed ar, at best,
 useless).

 As long as no one is completely crude, rude and unattractive in their
 replies (not always the case), you should take no offense.

 My suggestion is you thicken your skin, contribute as you can and desire
 to, with *due* *care*, and learn from others as we *all* learn from
 others on this list.

  and as you said in the world of IT there are lot of perhaps OK buddy.

 I don't know what you mean by this.

 Because your solution was likely for a specific network card, which
 incidentally you didn't inform us as to what that was. Neither did the OP
 give any indication as to what his network card is, so your recommendation
 based on the information given, was wrong and dangerous.

 The correct thing to do is not give the guy rubbish answers, but to ask him
 more questions so that we can make a reasonable assessment of what is
 actually happening before we can determine what is wrong.

 Perhaps his card is not plugged in right. Perhaps he has a loose cable.
 Perhaps there's a port on his switch that's intermittently failing, perhaps
 there's a cron job to shut down the network card. Perhaps some firewall
 rules are being activated or disabled stopping a service from running.
 Perhaps SELinux is blocking something. Perhaps any number of other things.

 Is the network card actually being deactivated, or is he just not able to
 talk to a service? We don't know. He hasn't given us enough info yet.

Re: [CentOS] Help me

Hi,
 I think you need to get the proper device drivers not the generic ones that
comes with the CentOS. Try updating your drivers or sometimes when you
install a vendor driver or any other driver after a kernel update or a full
system update you've to reinstall the drivers, It can recompile tt self to
mach the new kernel. So try updating or getting a new driver from the
vendor.

Regards,
Sadaruwan

Hi Again,

  It's not your ISPConfig software that giving trouble it's your
hardware drivers or your network card it self check them both.

 ISPConfig is not a CentOS 4 package as far as I know, so I dunno what
 significance this has in regards to the rest of your questions.

  Sometimes my server network card deactivated.

 How to fix this problem.



 nowheres near enough information to answer this.   this could be  a
 hardware problem with the server, it could be a network problem with the
 local area network, it could be a configuration problem, its very hard to
 say based only on whats given here.



 My BIND 9.2.4 how to update.


 # yum update bind

 will fetch the latest bind supported on CentOS 4.   Actually, you probably
 should run...

 # yum update

 as there are quite a few other critical system updates since 4.4 was
 released.

Hi,

   Mr. Ian,
  Yes I know what I've said might be little dangerous but I got
same kind of problem in my CentOS system and it was nothing to do with the
ISPConfig or anything but it was my net drivers but after installing the
proper once I didn't got that problem ever again. So that's why I gave him
this solution. And the other thing if you know more or a better way just
tall him don't try to correct others ok.

Regards,
Sadaruwan

 Without more information on the specific issue, the advice you just gave
 regarding using vendor drivers can be extraordinarily dangerous.  I
 would recommend:

 1. OP giving more info (like, for example, specifics on the problem, hw
 config, etc...)
 2. Patching CentOS

 before offering any solutions that can lead one down a painful path...
 as an example, many vendors defer to the network drivers offered in the
 kernel and have deprecated their own.  Nvidia, for one, comes to mind...
