Hi all,
My lab uses a Dell Poweredge R905 server running Scientific Linux 5.4. It has
three 1TB disks that are combined in a RAID5 configuration to create one 2TB
partition. I would like to replace these with three 3TB disks to create one 6TB
partition in RAID5.

When installing SL5.5 over SL5.4 about mid way into the Disk 2 I get an Error
message to REBOOT.
204 Meg on /mnt/sysimage/usr
When I look at /mnt it is empty after reboot.
My guess is that update ran out of disk space, and the the sysimage/usr is
removed after ERROR is detected and REBOOT

Hi Larry,
One quick question before I proceed. Are you doing a real upgrade or
an install
An upgrade is where SL 5.4 stays there and you just update the
packages
and 94% full. Other directories have at
least a G of spare space.

recommended way of updating

Hi, Ihave installed SL 5.4 on my new desktop and have a problem with

The adapter integrated in the motherboard is a clone of 3c501. Linux

I'm trying to do a clean
madwifi for SL 5.4 because of the conflict
it causes with the modules already in the kernel.
But we are providing it for the older releases, so you can always
find the kernel-module-madwifi and kernel-module-madwifi-hal rpm's in
the older releases security updates area.

I have posted this a few weeks ago on the XFS mailing list, but did not receive

We have an XFS filesystem on SL 5.4 with pquota accounting and enforcement. It

SL 5.4 now works with SATA drives.
NVida chip set now works.
The first time to set up video was strange, a clean reload did not exhibit

It's released, yes. Until SL 5.5.

SATA bug fixes are really a driver and upstream vendor issue.
They have changed the way they do
to SL5.4 and have encountered no
drawbacks from doing so.

Hi there,
I can't find the kernel-module-xfs packages. I miss the xfs filsystem in
the kernel too. On an original RedHat System the last kernel with xfs was
the 2.6.18-157.el5. In the aktual RedHat kernel 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5 I miss
xfs too.

Q: When will you release SL 5.4?
A: When it's done.
But for a guess, we usually relese between 2 and 3 months. We usually
have our first alpha release somewhere around 2 weeks after RedHat has
released the source rpms.
