CentOS 5 :: Modifying Repo File To Convert Kernel
Jul 9, 2010
I am trying to convert from using the base centos kernel to centosplus kernel. I have modified the CentoOS-Base.repo file to do this, including ensuring that I have excluded the kernel kernel-devel etc from base and updates. However when I do a yum update there is nothing to update. I have noted that my current kernel is kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1 whereas the current centosplus kernel seems to be 2.6.18-194.3.1. I presume that the problem is that the plus kernel is not as recent as the base kernel. Is this correct? What is the best way of converting to the centosplus kernel in these circumstances?

I have made a several modifications to my penstick running Xubuntu 10.10 that have greatly enhanced its performance. It took me several weeks to get to this point. I have added entries to /etc/rc.local and added kernel tweaks in /etc/grub.d/40_Custom so that my entries wont be erased. I have also added entries in my /etc/fstab. I have read this document in regards to the kernel but I am concerned about my /etc/fstab,/etc/rc.local and /etc/grub.d/40_Linux files being overwritten from updates.

I am concerned about when one of my users decides he wants to run his updates via apt-get or package managers that all of the configs that I have done will be wiped away.

There is a file called elevator.c. It is written as a module (i.e it has specific init and exit functions). However we are not able to see it in lsmod listing. We are working on a project where we need to modify this file. Compiling every time we change something will be time consuming. Is it possible to compile just this file and insert it as a normal module?

I updated the kernel to 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 and had to reinstall and rebuild the kernel module for my ATi driver as usual, so I edited the kernel arguments at the grub splash screen so that I could boot into single user mode and install the driver (i.e appending the relevant line with '1'). The interesting thing is, the system booted directly into single user mode as root when the system started up. No password was required.

How can I become root outside of the terminal? I want to be able to manipulate the file system (i.e. move files, delete files, rename files) in the file viewer GUI (not sure what it's called; I'd say "Windows Explorer" if I were talking about Windows).
Also, how can I manipulate (move, delete, copy, rename) files inside the terminal?
I do understand how to move around (change the working directory) in the terminal, and how to become root in the terminal, and naturally I understand how to move, copy, blah blah blah. I know the basic basics (just letting you know, I'm not the type of person who knows less about computers than a rock does).

I change the interfaces file to activate the DHCP service for my eth0.
How do I make the service active without booting the system. In other word, how do I run the modified interfaces file?

I'm having difficulty installing a MOD for Lpanzer because I can not modify any files in the file system because I'm not the owner. According to permissions Root is the owner. So how do I either tell Ubuntu I'm the owner? Or do I need a utility program to get things going?

Just checking to be sure. 5.3>5.4 update went without a hitch:) But a message ran about (/etc/yum.repo.d) CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew. Comparing CentOS-Base.repo with the new one show the 1st has the correct priorities and .rpmnew does not have the correct priorities. Should I remove the *.rpmnew repo after making sure it otherwise is the same as the original CentOS-Base.repo?

I am not able to easily tell what yum is doing when attempting to decide what to do when given repo files that have defined the same name (eg "[updates]"). Yum seems to spot the dups, but seems to *always* select the mirrorlist from the CentOS-Base.repo. I have unsuccessfully tried to have my custom.repo come before the CentOS-Base.repo using 01custom.repo or CUSTOM.repo. My hope is just to overload yum into using the custom.repo *without* removing/modifying the CentOS-Base.repo. If I remove the CentOS-Base.repo, the custom.repo works. Even with all of the custom.repo, 01custom.repo or CUSTOM.repo in the yum.repos.d dir and no CentOS-Base.repo, yum does what I want.

The only thing is that rpm.hozac.com wasn't responding so I got my new kernel from a mirror site. However the mirror doesn't know anything about the GPG key. On the instructions page it said that rpm.hozac.com is "often unavailable" and gives an alternative location for the kernel download. But it doesn't say what to do about the GPG key! And I can't load the new kernel without the key.So, what do I do? (Apart from wait until the repository comes back online!)

I'm writing a lot of RPM's and I would like to make some of them available to other users, through my website. On the server side, everything is set (directory structure, etc.). I just don't know how to build the custom .repo file, containing only my custom RPM's.

I have a weird problem with one of my servers (normal PC hardware). I was connected remotely using Putty, doing some stuff, and all of the sudden some commands, like "ls" stopped working, giving a "file or command not found" type of message. I restarted the ssh session, only to find out I couldn't log on any more (access denied). When I got home and rebooted the system, I was greeted with this:Booting 'CentOS (2.6.18-194.el5xen)'root (hd0,0)Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6. 18-194.el5Error 15: File not foundPress any key to continue...Then I searched about this, found out that the files in /boot/grub/menu.lst did not exist at the specified location (/boot/xen.gz-2.6. 18-194.el5). Somehow I managed to find them in another place, copied them in place, and now I get:Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format

I just created a repository for CentOS 5.3 and 5.4 on my webserver for the network to use. I followed the steps listed here: [URL] All went well up until testing out the repository. Here is the output of "yum update"
[root@titan yum.repos.d]# yum update
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror, priorities
Repository base is listed more than once in the configuration
Repository extras is listed more than once in the configuration
[Code].....
I'm unsure as to why yum is looking in the "5" directory instead of "5.3" or "5.4" and it looks like that is the only issue. It seems as though $releasever is returning 5 instead of the current 5.3 that this system is on.
