Ubuntu Installation :: Choosing Kernel On GRUB Causes Reboot?
Jul 8, 2010I recently decided to venture into the world of Linux/GNU by installing Ubuntu.
Before installing, I had a 190gb partition for windows 7 and 45gb of unallocated space. Through Wubi, I used the advanced partition editor to make a 6gb swap partition and a 22gb root partition for Ubuntu. All went well, but when I rebooted, I was unable to choose linux.
I installed Ubuntu by using Unetbootin to put the Ubuntu ISO on my USB drive. After installing, I disconnected the USB drive, and I was unable to choose the linux kernel option on the GRUB menu. When I do, my system just restarts and presents me with the GRUB menu again. However, windows 7 boots up perfectly.
I'm assuming that GRUB is somehow trying to boot the linux kernel from the USB. How do I change it to boot from the installation I made on my harddrive?
CentOS 5 Hardware :: NIC Only Find Sporadic After Kernel Update To Kernel-2.6.18-164.el5
Sep 27, 2009after update to kernel-2.6.18-164.el5 one of the 2 NIC's of my machine are only found at 1 of 4 reboots. Using the old one kernel-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 all is fine. This are the to NIC's:

CentOS 5 :: Create A Custom Kernel Using 2.6.31.5 Kernel Source?
Oct 31, 2009I'm running CentOS 5.3 and would like to know what the "best" or "proper" method is to build a custom kernel using the generic kernel sources from kernel.org. Most of the references I've found talk about modifying the current CentOS kernel using the RPM way. I really want to have the latest kernel due to some important security issues that haven't been addressed in the current CentOS 5.3 kernel.

Jul 9, 2009The first server I installed installed fine. The second server, installed with the same config, went to "kernel panic not syncing no init found try passing init= option in kernel" error. I tried reinstalling but it keeps going to that error after install reboot. The storage is ISCSI connected via Intel Server Adapter, which allows it to boot from ISCSI. Not sure if that's the cause for the problem, but the first server is connected to the same ISCSI and installed just fine.
Is there a way that I can make sure ISCSI module installs during installation? Although I think it is installed since it's able to copy the files and setup /dev/sda. I just wana make sure that it installs during setup.
CentOS 5 :: CentOS 5 Home Server Power Consumtion? (features, Kernel Versions Etc.)?
Feb 28, 2010I built a home server (NAS/WWW/SSH/media server etc) and chose CentOS 5 as the OS (stability, easy of configuration).I was just about to start tuning the power consumption when I realised that the kernel CentOS uses is so "old" that it does not support the latest reduced power consumption enhancements that Linux has achieved in big strides in the recent past (we are probably still talking 6-12+ months ago e.g. tickless kernel)..
So my questions; 1) I know CentOS was maybe not meant for home servers (certainly its not its primary purpose), but if it is, any ideas of what kind of power consumption it takes (I know its relative) and if there are particular power consumptions that are worthwhile?
2) Do you recommend me compiling my own 2.6.21+ kernel from kernel.org or am I just likely to have compatibility issues (I really did not want to do that) or when is CentOS 5.4 supposed to have a newer 2.6.21+ version kernel?
Was it wrong of me in principle to choose CentOS for a home server when I am power conscious? (I don't have a low-power VIA processor either but a P4 so I am really just hoping to make do with software changes).
CentOS 5 :: CentOS Auto Update Kernel And Reboot System?
Mar 17, 2010I 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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedServer :: Choosing A Distribution For NAS?
Jan 15, 2010I'm planning to build a NAS using spare bits of PC. I'm hoping to run the OS from a CF card. I want the machine to host music and also general files. I'm planning to install TwonkyMedia Server for the music.
1. I'd like to choose a small distribution, but one that is easy for me to deploy and manage (I'm new to Linux, but I am an IT professional). What shall I use?
2. I'd like to understand the implications of using Compact Flash. Will the OS need to write to disk? Can I configure my installation so that the CF card is read-only and provide a small writeable partition on my hard drive for any required IO? Should I not bother, and put it all on HD? (My motivation for using CF was to limit power-consumption/noise/heat).

Jul 13, 2010In the past (before UpStart was used in Ubuntu) I was able to configure multiple boot items in Grub menu to load the same kernel but into different runlevels. I had configured runlevel 3 (I went into /etc/rc3.d/ and removed the symlink to /etc/init.d/gdm) to be w/o GDM, so that if I had chosen it, my box would not boot into X. How can I achieve the same effect in Lucid?

Sep 13, 2010I've used Ubuntu just a couple of times, and I've Never performed the Installation. I've been a Windows user mostly.But I'm ready for a change. I would like to Install Linux on my Desktop & Netbook Computer.Problem is, how to go about it.On the Desktop, I'm not the only person using it, and while I'm all & ready to try Ubuntu (Specially since XP Broke 3 days ago and the Format is impending) The rest of the people using the PC aren't. On the Netbook, right now I can't since I'm working on something, and I'm worried about compatibility issues between Platforms.So I did some research on how to get both Platforms up and running, and I found Wubi. Seemed like a perfect way to start!However, I downloaded the client, and when Downloading the rest of the Installation software, It just took way too long!On ETA it marked 4 hours at first (sure enough, it took little more than that) but then it gave me a new ETA of 8 HOURS!
Is there any other way to download it? Other than the 1.6 Mb Client file? & For the Desktop. Since I'm formating the HD anyway, What steps should I follow to install both OS on it?

Jan 10, 2011I would like to buy PCI to SATA II controller for my machine. I'd like to use them on Debian Lenny stable (2.6.26-2 kernel). So I'm choosing between noname (Logilink ?) card with Sil3124 chip and HighPoint 1720 card. Functionality basically is the same for both cards or at least it is enough for my needs. I will run mdadm anyway. So the question is should I really pay 3 times more for HighPoint ? Is there any reason for that or Sil3124 will do the same ? What about compatibility ? As I know both cards are supported on thet kernel.
View 6 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Choosing A Version Control System
Sep 11, 2009I want to set up a very simple version control system in my own computer, which only I will use. I want to use it mainly for latex files, not programming. I basically want to use it as a smart backup system and to keep track of past versions, but I don't need merging, patching, etc... My typical needs are the following:Work on a file many times and committ the changes every couple of days.Every now and then, try something new, and do it on a new branch. If it doesn't work, go back to the original one.
Take a look at a previous version (often a binary file, say a pdf or dvi file).I have used git so far, for no special reason, but I haven't been able to get comfortable with it, specially since it only handles text files efficiently (I think). My main issue is with point 3 above, I haven't found a way (maybe there's just no way) of pointing to a previous version of a file and opening it in an external program. Would CVS or SVN or any other version control system allow me to do this easily?
