CentOS 5 :: Can't Find HDD - Virgin System?
Nov 9, 2009
I am trying to install the latest release (5.4 64 bit) from DVD. I downloaded the torrent from here.My system is completely virgin - no OS has ever been installed on it. So I suppose somewhat fittingly, there is some resistance to my advances :).Details:Intel dual core 64 bit CPUASUS PK5KPL-AM main boardSATA HDDI am trying to boot from the DVD I burned from the downloaded ISO.
It boots up ok at first but when it comes to creating the partition it can't seem to find my HDD. I get the following error:An error has occurred - no valid devices were found on which to create new file systems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem.Can anyone please suggest a way to troubleshoot this? I realize the problem could be the hardware, but I would like to eliminate all other possibilities before taking the system back to the distributor for repair.

Is it possible to list/find/compare the program versions on a Centos system, against Redhat/Centos Errata/Security/Bug lists? Sort of looking for a way to make sure that all the packages on a system are ok, and not a security risk-- Without having to update every package. A pseudo code, in my mind is:

I have a Centos 5 machine, and I've been attempting to install GNOME and the like. However, quite a large number of packages do NOT install because of missing dependencies, all of which seem to trace back to 'system-logos'. Unfortunately, I can find no trace of this package in the 'yum list available' output. Google came up with nothing. If you can help, it would be MUCH appreciated! BTW, I've also tried 'fedora-logos' and 'linux-logos' without success.

When I run 'parted' and then type 'print' to see the partitions that are available, I see two entries: /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. /dev/sda1 is of ext3 type whereas for /dev/sda2 nothing is specified for file system type. The LVM flags are set for /dev/sda2.
When I tried to resize /dev/sda2, it gives me the error "File system type not recognized". let me know how to find out the file system type of the partition.

Assume I have plugged in an external USB hard disc.
How can I find out (from terminal cmdline) the file system (ext2, ext3, reiserfs,...) of this hard disc?
From Ubuntu I know the two commands:
sudo blkid -c /dev/null
or
sudo fdisk -l
but these are not known in CentOS.
What are the corresponding cmds in CentOS?

After googling "Virgin wireless broadband"+Ubuntu I got two posts on seperate websites that advised changing APN to VirginBroadband from Virgininternet whcih I did and also followed the advice of one of the aforementioned posts to disable all Authentication Methods except PAP, I still haven't been able to connect although the machine is obviously trying to. So should I try enableing other Authentication Methods, or could it be a hardware or some other problem?

I'm trying to get any Linux on my Compaq LTE 5200. The problem is that it dose not have a floppy, and will not boot from CD or Network. The distros I'm working with; Damn Small Linux, DSL-Not, Spri, Puppy, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu -mini, U-Lite, Watt, Crunch Bang (Lite), or DeLi.
I have a few other laptops that I can work with the HDD, and USB-HDD dongle. However, whenever I put the HDD back into the LTE 5200, I get all sorts of errors LiLo 99, GRUB 17, 2, 18.
How can I install on system {A}, to work on {B}? Is there a way to dd if=bootdisk.img of=/dev/hda1 so that it will boot? Other ideas? P.S. Not quite a "n00b", but did not know where to place this question.

I am trying to install Fedora 11, but the monitor that I am using is only 640x480. When the window comes up to start the install, I cannot see any of the buttons or tabs for selecting the items. How can I adjust the resolution so that I can see the entire image in my screen?

I have just recently installed Open SUSE 11.2 from a CD I got from a Linux Magazine.Installed this fine as a dual-boot machine on my HP laptop.To access the Internet, I have normally used 2 ways:1. WIFI Connection via my home desktopUsing Netgear WG111v3 USB Adapter.2. Virgin Broadband USB Mobile Broadband stickI have no problem connecting this via my Windows Vista operating system.Somehow, under Open SUSE 11.2, this is a problem. 2. Virgin Broadband - I managed to get the Virgin Broadband icon of a mobile phone saying that it's connected and "Active" by keying in the number "*99#", username/password as blank and APN as VirginBroadband". However, when I launch Firefox browser, I couldn't get to any external Website even though the icon for the Virgin Broadband says that it's Active and connected.
So what's the problem ?1. WIFI Connectivity to Home Desktop WIFI - with this I have never never got any connection at all. It kept saying "Activating" and I have set up the connection and entered the WEP 128-bit paraphrase hex digits. I managed to scan and got the correct SSID and as I know they belong to my desktopI read somewhere that Netgear WG111v3 is not compatible with Open Suse 11.2 and will need to install the driver for this. So I did obtain the .INF file and installed ndiswrapper -i with the .inf file.. However, still not successful.I'm thinking of buying a Belkin USB Adapter which is in the list of compatible USB WIFI Adapter for Open Suse 11.2 - .. the 802.11g chipset.. as I couldn't get this to work

I was wondering if there was Linux compatible software for Virgin Mobile's USB modem. Officially it's only compatible with Xp, Vista, and Mac OS X.

I am attempting to connect to Virgin Broadband (Australia) pre-paid using a Huawei E160e modem in Ubuntu 9.10 UNR. I have setup the connection as per [URL].. including disabling CHAP and changing the APN as required in the thread. when I try to connect using the network manager, it disconnects straight away with the message "GSM Network disconnected". When examining the logs /var/log/daemon.log, I get the following information:

I can't get my sister new computer (she needs for work) to work with her mobile broadband dongle (details at bottom of post). The light on the dongle flashes green when plugged in, it recognises the connection in mobile broadband network connections, but won't connect (i checked connect automatically, it doesn't come up as an option in the top panel network thingy either.
Googled a solution that works for other people, not for me. The solution is for ubuntu 8.[URL].. I've been using Ubuntu for a year or so but not that experienced in fixing problems. The wifi and screen brightness settings are't working either but that isn't really a problem, assume it will get fixed in an update soon.
Samsung N210 Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2 (updated from 9.10, dongle didn't work in 9.10 either) Virgin Media Mobile Broadband Dongle. TCT Mobile Ltd, One Touch X200S

my HUAWEI E160E Virgin Mobile no longer works after upgrade to Lucid it is detected but the connection no longer works. I tried deleting the connection and trying again but the modem is not detected in network-manager. The modem was working when i was using Karmic and still works on my UNR Karmic Netbook. I have tried various methods but I have not been able to get it to work.

I just upgraded by box from Fedora Core 9 to Centos 5.2. Finally!I have a 500GB SATA drive, it's partitioned into three equal size slices, hda1 through 3. The old Fedora was on hda1, I installed the new Centos on hda3. I instructed the installer to write the MBR to /dev/hda, not /dev/hda3. Fdisk says I have sector 0 unused.First, the system wouldn't boot - it just looped through the BIOS, rebooting over and over again. The BIOS sees the disk, but it never loaded Grub. I tried re-running grub-install /dev/hda, and not I get a Grub Error 17 after stage 1.5 loads.
I can boot from rescue OK, the grub.conf man menu.lst look fine, it's pointing to "root (hd0,2)". It's either the BIOS that can't find the MBR, or the MBR can't find Grub.When I looked at the disk with fdisk after the install, hda1 was still marked bootable, hda3 was not, so I swapped bootable flags but that has not made a difference. I also appended the new grub to the old grub thinking I could get the MBR (if it is there) to load the old grub and thence find the new Centos, but that didn't work either.Mobo is an old Shuttle AK35.Any ideas? Did I mess up by not telling the system to put the MBR on /dev/hda3? Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

I have some trouble with my hp workstation xw4400 with an ATI FireGL 3300 and the X-Server. There was no problem with the graphical install routine and the graphical boot works fine. But when the system changes into the login-screen, then it results in a black screen and a more or less frozen system.

I am an old days RH release user(from 6.x) and just switching back from Debian/Ubuntu to CentOS on some servers, but I can not understand the kernel update strategy currently enabled in CentOS.There are two boxes, with almost identical installation, but recently there was an auto update of kernel on one box. This auto update also seems to issue an auto reboot on the machine, which is unacceptable on server machines.

I am trying to do a basic install of CentOS 5.4 on my embedded computer. It is a Linutop 2 system with a AMD Geode 800MHz CPU and 512Mb Ram. Have installed an IBM 40Gb 2.5" HD for OS storage. I am doing the install procedure in text mode. Everything goes as planned until I get to the package selection.
1. Booting from (i386) DVD with "linux text" parameter.
2. Skipping media check.
3. Selecting "English" install language.
4. Selecting "DK-latin1" as keyboard layout.
5. Selecting "Remove all partitions and create default layout" and selecting "no" to modifying partition layout.
6. Selecting "yes" to configure "eth0" and mark to enable "IPv4" on boot.
7. Selecting DHCP for IP configuration and Manual host name.
8. Setting time zone to "Europe/Copenhagen".
9. Setting root password to a 16 digit alphanumeric pass-phrase.
10. De-selecting "Desktop - Gnome" (no other entries selected).
When the system is checking for dependencies, an exception
Traceback (most recent call first):
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/packageSack.py", line 426, in returnNewestByName
raise PackageSackError, 'No Package Matching %s' % ui_pats
File "/tmp/treedir.22057/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 1072, in getBestKernelByArch

We have 2 applications set as S96 and S98 at rc3.d and rc5.d simultaneously. Both applications create a system V shared memory segment by calling shmget.If the system boot at runlevel 5, both applications can obtain their shared memory segment id correctly, i.e. 98305 and 131074 individually. While there is a root owned segment id 32768 takes first seat on the list. This is the id list:
root, 32768
S96_app, 98305
S98_app, 131074

I am running a CentOS 5.5 system which does NOT support VT Technology, so I am unable to use Xen HV. I am very happy with OpenVZ other than the fact that it doesn't support Windows, only Linux.I'd like to have VMWare Server 2.x installed, but it appears that OpenVZ changes the Kernel to, in my case, 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.028stab069.6. The default kernel on my system is 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.i386.If I change grub to load 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.i386, VMWare will work but OpenVZ will not. If I change grub to load 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.028stab069.6, OpenVZ will work, but VMWare will not.If I try to run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl while in the 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.028stab069.6 kernel, I get an error of:
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)?Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?[/usr/ src/ linux/ include]I'm so lost as what to do now..is there anyway I can compile both of the kernels together somehow?

I just ran a "yum update" on my CentOS 5.3 system. After a reboot, I noticed /etc/redhat-release show CentOS 5.4.
I thought yum upgrade was supposed to do that?
I wanted to simply patch my CentOS 5.3 system without turning it into CentOS 5.4 ... YET.
