Is there anyone that can tell me what the above error is all about. When I beet my Centos5.3 server I get the error it doesnt effect the bootup and the system is working fine but the error I am assuming isnt a good thing.

The newest BIOS i can find is here
[URL]
But these downloads are both .exe files The Dell is older and has a floppy drive, but the windows machine Im using does not.
Is there a way to make this as a cd on the Windows machine and boot into that on the Dell? any time Ive updated a bios it has been through Windows.
I have been told by the staff from supermicro to update my BIOS, but they only have .exe to update. I ask them if they can help me to update my bios from Centos, and this is what they said
You can use RHEL driver: [URL] use same kernel driver for CentOS as RHEL. I'm really new with Centos OS, can you guide me on how would I be able to update my software via RHEL Driver? I see alot of RPM and images.
Hardware is a Supermicro with C2SBC-Q board, have set up a RAID1 with 3 WD drives, the BIOS "sees" the "LightScribe" DVD drive but it is not being recognized by CentOS (5.2 x86_64). It's on an IDE bus, set to "master".# dmesg | grep -E 'CD|DVD|hdc' produces a new prompt with NO feedback, BTW.I have CentOS 5.2 i386 running on this machine with the same DVD drive, it was not an issue.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've a problem to mount a second BIOS-RAIDset in CentOS 5.6. De computer is equipped with 5 SATA disk drives, 2x 1,5 TB (RAID1) in boot (working properly) 2x 2 TB (RAID1) for holding a VM for a NAS (must me mounted to /nas but it doesn't). 1x 750 GB (single disk) not assigned yet.
The 2x 2TB RAID oneset is assigned using a mapper: /dev/mapper/pdc_ccbjafbfd
De RAIDset is recognised by dmraid en is operational. I can see the partition (added with p1) with fdisk. But when I tried to mount the partition on the 2TB nas it says: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/pdc_ccbjafbfdp1 And when I try to use fsck it says: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/mapper/pdc_ccbjafbfd 36.Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?
I think there's another program active on the background.

The problem started at the first reboot after assiging and formatting the RAID-set.
I have some virtual machines running with CentOS 5.3 (32 bit) and everything works as expected. To test a possible upgrade I took one of then and did yum clean all yum update after rebooting I get a kernel panic with the following message:
MP BIOS BUG : 8254 timer not connected to APIC IO I know that I can change the boot command not to use APIC and after that the machine boots again but I doubt that there has been any change to the virtual APIC implementation during the upgrade of the OS. Is there anything that iI should exclude from upgrading while working in a vm? I use VMWare Player 2.5.3 build-185404 on a 64 bit Ubuntu 9.04 as host.
I installed(actually i hope i did) CentOS 5.5.However i can see my HDD in Hard drive menu in bios but HDD doesn't shows in boot menu.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a small problem on my Compaq Evo Centos 5.4 web server. The web server runs just fine, the problem is it fails to restart from a power outage. Simple edit the BIOS. No! For a reason I can't think of the keyboard stops working after a few key strokes following the F10 to enter BIOS setup. Then its a power cycle. If left to BOOT the PC and keyboard are fine. After hearing about viruses which get to the BIOS I will ask can NIX get that far so I can adjust the Power ON?

NB:-I have only one FAT32 partition in my pen drive...
i have a 700GB ext4 partition for storage purposes. By default it has 5% of the space (35GB!) reserved for root, which does not make sense for this partition. how can i reduce this percentage? there is already a lot of data on the partition and i'm afraid that mke2fs would erase all the data. is there a way to change the percentage without touching the data?

Terminal mail command is not working either.

I also tried sendmail -t -i without luck.
Is it true that I can safely set reserved blocks percentage to 0% on some ext4 partition which contains only my personal data but no OS files?

I would like to get more storage space out of this drive since it's only use is a backup mirror of the ntfs drive.
I think that drive size might be related to something else.
I'd like to use pyRenamer to identify and rename files with reserved characters in the file name. The files came from windows where I'm guessing the characters didn't cause problems. For example, I want to replace the ? (question mark), ' (single quote), etc. I tried using the escape () character before the special character in the replace field on the substitutions tab, but for some reason I don't believe that method was identifying the special characters. What is the correct way to identify a special / reserved character within a file name and replace it?

Wether throught SPM or Brother's PreInstall followed by an RPM converson I still can't locate the correct drivers. Done it countlees ways and still have never seen HL-2070N show up on the driver screen. Still stuck with HL-2060 whose best match flags "out of paper".

System: F15-64bit, Intel Core i7 on Asus P6T mobo. I've upgraded to 2.6.40, and I'm regretting it!While 2.6.38 still works fine (apart from the usual random panics), 2.6.40 gives errors on boot, and reliably panics soon after login. Early in the boot I get the message "IOMMU: mapping reserved region failed" 8 times. Then boot appears to proceed as normal, at least once the nvidia blob is removed in favour of Nouveau (otherwise, forget it...).
After graphical login, the system freezes within a couple of minutes.After a text login, the system freezes within seconds with a panic, starting "BUG: Scheduling while atomic: swapper". A forum search for the IOMMU message leads to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Commo...IOMMU_handling but this talks about old 32-bit releases without BIOS virtualization support.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how to delete the "System Reserved" partition ??
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen formatting an ext3 partition, the default -m option is 5 (5%). Two things I always wanted to know but were afraid to ask:
1) Isn't 5% way too much for the size of most hard disks nowadays?
2) Is that number or anything greater than 0 really necessary in ALL file systems? For example, is it necessary in a /home partition or any partition that contains no OS, just storage data?
can somebody point me towards a breakdown of how the reserved UIDs are assigned in Slackware? I can't seem to find one anywhere.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do a test run of 10.04 LTS with a cd but the machine isn't booting from the cd ( or two other subsequent cds that I know work). I thought I remembered not having to do anything to make this boot from a cd, so either something has changed or I've flipped out. Once it boots 9.04 from the hard drive it recognizes that there is a program cd in there though. I've tried F8, F10, F12 and ESC - ESC nets me a list of drives to start from Ubuntu 9.04 and several versions of recovery mode also a command line. I'm baffled - this is probably something simple but its beyond me at this point.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am having problems installing linux on an old PC with the hard drive shredded, old CD drive, old 1 GB RAM card. I want to make sure the problem is not that the memory is partially bad.I recall that there should be some way to get the BIOS to test the memory overnight, but couldn't find this mentioned in the books I checked or in my notes. I believe that the motherboard is made by ASUS, if that helps. When I power on and hit the delete key, I do get some BIOS options, but memtest is not mentioned.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell XPS 600, and absolutely no working OS is installed on the machine. By that, I mean I have WinXP, but there's some error and when I run a normal boot it loads Windows Setup, but it "encounters" an error. Not that I care, I just want Ubuntu. So basically, I need to setup Ubuntu without first running an operating system. But my BIOS won't load it- I press F12 at startup and select "boot from onboard CD drive" but then it tells me that there's nothing to startup from, and I get stuck pressing F2 to retry. Btw, I used the regular 10.04 disk download, not the live CD.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have installed Ubuntu 10.10 Minimal on a 2GB USB using CLI and it is working very well after adding a few applications. But this USB will be used only on machines other than my own - likely with Windows as the only OS. And it is not comfortable for me to go into the BIOS of a strange machine to change the order of booting and afterwards go back to reset the order , especially with the owner looking on, obviously worried, and wandering whether his machine will still be working!
So my question: Is there any way to boot from a USB without having to go into the BIOS? code...

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to access an old pc at home from any computer but I don't want to leave the computer on all the time (I won't use it regularly and I don't believe in wasting energy just cause I can). I've heard that some bioses have wake-on-LAN but I have no other machine on the LAN that will be left on (apparently it's impossible to wake a computer from off the LAN???) so my solution is to buy a raspberry pi (perhaps there is something cheaper/better??) and leave that on that I can ssh to from anywhere and then wake my pc from there. Unfortunately my bios doesn't have a wake-on-lan function and so I'm hoping that I can update my bios to a version that has a wake-on-lan option (perhaps there is a better way?).

So I've started to try and find a new bios to update. I think I need one of these: [URL]
I've had FC11 x86_64 running for awhile based on an upgrade from FC10. I powered down one night then when I tried to boot the next day the system just sat at the BIOS prompt "Verifying DMI pool data...". I opened the case to check all cables - all fine. I've run a memtest, also fine. I then suspected a bad HDD so I ran the Seagate tools from the Ultimate Boot CD (fast test) and both HDDs came up fine. BIOS can see both disks fine, too. I stuffed around with fixmbr and fixboot and got one step further, with it sitting at "invalid operating system" or something like that. I was able to use Linux rescue mode to mount the old filesystems fine.
Today I've completely blown away all my old partitions and started from scratch. After successfully completing an install with custom disk layout (identical to old layout) it still just sits at "Verifying DMI pool data..". Do I have a bad sector in my boot block? Possible BIOS issue? Is there some tool to re-write the boot block?
