I'm trying to install CentOS 5.4-x86 on a "new" motherboard, it's an ABIT Fatal1ty AN9 32X. I have a AMD 6000+ Dual Core running stable at 3.01 ghz. 4GB of ram(4x 1GB). nVidia GeForce 7600. 2x SATA II 160GB WD RAID 0 and 2x SATA II 1TB Seagate RAID 0. This setup has been running fine as a FTP server for months and has been flawless for games for about 3 years.Right off the bat during initial install it hangs before loading any GUI.Last lines:
NFORCE-MCP55: IDE controller PCI slot 0000:00:0c.0
NFORCE-MCP55: chipset revision 161
NFORCE-MCP55: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later

I'm running into what is quite possibly one of the strangest problems I've ever encountered. We recently had a power loss, and some of our vmware instances didn't shut down correctly. Once of those is our Zabbix testing monitor. From that point on, whenever I run the "ll" command, my terminal freezes. This happens over both ssh and the local console. I've forced a disk check via the "shutdown -rF now" command, and it returned no errors. Since ll is simply an alias for ls, I copied ls (and the entire bin directory) from another Centos 5.3 instance, with no change in behavior.

I have just completed an upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4 (64bit) Now when the system starts it gets to Staring udev and then hangs for about 2mins before printing "Timeout" and then continuing.
At various stages during the boot process it just stops with no warning and takes a while to restart.
My boot time in 5.3 was about 50seconds, now with 5.4 it is about 4mins.

My issue is: I am "locked" on kernel 2.6.18-164, I just can't get my server up and running with any later release. It simply hangs at "Starting udev".
The hardware is:
MB: Asus M2N32-Deluxe
CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 920 Processor
Boot FS: Ext2
RootFS: xfs
RAM: 4Gb
I have 2.6.18-194.el5 running on other machines.
PS: I'm about to install/update a fresh 5.5 disc for testing purpose anyway. I'll update here if it works.

Keyboard Hanging, in CentOS. Some time when I login to Linux or when we come back to use Keyboard after a long time work with mouse, my keyboard will hang for few seconds. I don't know its my USB keyboard problem or another issue. I doubt it started after I install opera browser in CentOS or by VNC setup.

I'm running V5.3 (newly installed) on an FJ E8020 laptop. The problem I have is when shutting down (*not* rebooting). NetworkManager fails to stop and after (during?) the postfix shutdown, the system seems to hang.I cannot access via another screen or remotely. I can't find any clues in the log files.

I have an annoying problem with a 2 nodes cluster that I don't understand.
One of my server is totally shutdown.
When I start cman after a reboot on the other server, it hangs on "Starting fencing...". The process which is actually hanging is : /sbin/fence_tool -w -t 300 -m 45 join
When I start this program manually, I get this output :
# /sbin/fence_tool -w -t 300 -m 45 join
Waiting for all 2 nodes to be members
Waiting for all 2 nodes to be members
Waiting for all 2 nodes to be members
Waiting for all 2 nodes to be members
(and so on...)
What I don't understand is why the fence_tool program wait for the 2nd node to join the cluster and don't fence the other node.
Here is my cluster.conf :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster name="ctpsrv-bdd" config_version="7">
<fence_daemon clean_start="0" post_fail_delay="0" post_join_delay="20"/>
<cman expected_votes="1" two_node="1"/>
[Code]....
Would it be a good idea to edit the cman startup script and remove the "-w" option of command fence_tool join, so the command do not hang up ?

I can start yum some times and no locking error is rise.strace brings:

I am running Centos 5.5 with all the GUI stuff, including nx server and webmin.Sometimes while watching the bootup messages because my eyesight is very poor.I hit <ctrl s> to pause the output so I can read some details. If I do this late in the init sequence - it often briefly stops the output then the screen disappears under a blue wash (presumably something to do with the GUI login screen ot screensaver??)but the login screen never appears. Also it seems that the script never completes because the imap, webmin and http servers don't appear to have started.
I haven't found any satisfactory way out of it. I can't get back to a console terminal (I've tried ctrl c, d, z, etc.). As luck would have it the nx server has started so I can open an nx session. If I open a terminal in an nx session as root.I can't do a normal restart (shutdown -r now). Nothing happens presumably it can't run the init script because it is still running.The only way I have found to get the system back to life is to run "shutdown -r -n now" in the nx terminal session.There are probably better ways out of this predicament that I am unaware of. Otherwise it is probably somewhere between an annoyance and a bug. I would be interested in any advice the centos "board" may have as to whether this is worth raising as a redhat bug.

I recently bought a Toshiba Portege M200 tablet PC and it's caused me no end of grief to load linux on it. I would like to load CentOS 5.x (because my hosting company uses it and I will be able to learn as I run it).
Here are my resources:
I found internet resources to create a boot disk that enables me to see my 8GB Sony USB flash drive via DOS. It works nicely.
I have a laptop drive to USB converter and can access the hard drive directly from my Win XP desktop. I have PowerQuest's Partition Magic Pro (v8.0) and can make Ext2 and Ext3 partitions at will. I have also loaded a program that allows Windows XP to read and write from Ext2 and Ext3. It works well.
I have tried loading boot images from PXE. This option is mostly out because it seems to be a couple levels past my competency (I haven't been able to get it to work).
Given those resources, what's the best way to load either the CentOS live CD... or some other approach?
Since I wrote this, I figured out how to make a boot floppy that can start an external USB CD-ROM/DVD drive. Here are the files on the floppy:
Here's the contents of my config.sys:
Here's the contents of my autoexec.com:
I can boot to the CD and launch linld.com. The problem is that I keep getting a kernal panic message, saying that a memory block could not be addressed. And when I add the following part to the line above: "initrd=d:isolinuxinitrd.img" the install fails and reboots. I have tried to expand the initrd.img and it appears... blank?

I just finished installing CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on a Dell Dimension 3100 (Pentium 4 with 64-bit support). On the first boot, after completing the final config steps (firewall, SELinux, time server, etc), the boot hangs on "Starting xend:". I have completed a successful installation on another Dell machine (different processor), with the same installation options (I recorded all of the steps and followed them for the second installation).
My boot commands in grub are:
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-128.el5
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5xen ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
module /initrd-2.6.18-128.el5xen.img

This is probably not possible, but just wondering, restarted centos 5.2 remotely, hung at shutdown, kvm'ed to see what was hanging it up, control c'ed and then ctl alt del, just trying to kill the process, was brought back to the login screen, but unable to type anything. Alt-f1 switched to a different virtual console, which was just a blank screen and a blinking cursor, but now able to type things. Want to avoid hard shutdown. Is there anyway to force shutdown/reboot the machine from this console?

I recently added an external hard drive through a IEEE 1394 interface. I'm finding that during large file transfers the system slows to a crawl. It's still running: routing for example seems fine. But running applications are pretty much unusable: Apache is unusably slow, SSH login is very slow, etc. Currently I'm using the IEEE 1394 drivers from Axel's ATRpms but I'm pretty sure I saw this with the default kernel IEEE 1394 drivers too.

I have read all of the articles I could find on the problems. I am using the lilo bootloader as grub doesn't work. I have also added pci=nomsi to my lilo.conf and ran lilo -v. I can get the system to boot with kernel-2.6.18-8.el5. However I can't get the system to boot with kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.i686.rpm. When I boot with kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.i686 the system hangs after it prints bios data check successful. I tried adding suppress-boot-time-BIOS-data to my lilo.conf (I ran lilo -v after the change) and the system still hangs. The Optiplex 320 is running bios 1.1.12
Why won't newer kernels work? Is there a way to get more information to print before the hang to aid in debugging?

Ive seen this a hundred times while searching google but I can't seem to get any of the fixes suggested to work for me.
Here are the specs code...
I have other servers on the same network with the same software/hardware that never loses its mount to the windows share, and nightly backups are run through those mounts. So why does the mount on this machine fail when we do a push? The only conclusion that I can come to is there is some sort of time out on the windows server that causes this. The other servers that have this same type mount use their share every night, where as the share on this server gets used once or twice a week. Once the mount hangs I can not unmount it, I have to reboot the server. Once the server is rebooted the push works fine. But then the next week when a push is tried it hangs. What else can I check?
UPDATE: I've also tried NFS mounts and autofs mounts and they hang as well
I enabled logging by echo 1 > cifsFYI and this is what I see in var/log/message code...
Ive removed the actual file names for security concerns. Any one have ideas as to why this is happening? The only other thing I can think of to try is to swap out the NIC but it's at a remote location so I can't do that right now.

I have a newly built Redhat 5.5 box. When connecting over VPN and executing either "ls -al" or "df -h", the command prompt hangs without returning any output. Have got same result with TeraTerm and Putty clients. However, other commands run fine. Also,local users are able to run "ls -al" or "df -h" successfully.Storage is local disk. Any idea what could be mis-configured.

School with linux running on students' laptops, connecting via wlan to a Debian NFS and LDAP server. Every student logs on his/her profile residing on the NFS server.The clients are set up with autofs. Earlier, I had set up the wireless network in /etc/network/interfaces, but this time I decided to configure network manager so as to bring up both wireless and wired network before logon. This setup has been working on for the last fire or five years with only minor changes. Also worked with Karmic Koala, but still with the interfaces file instead of networkmanager. The Vostro is also new here, we've previously used mostly Dell Latitude D505s.
So here is what works:
1: Clients can log on to LDAP and NFS servers both wired and wirelessly. Everything is smooth.
2: While on LAN, shutdown and restart works flawlessly (and quick as a breeze, I'm really impressed by startup/restart/shutdown times, under 25 secs!).
3: Shutdown and restart also works wirelessly when doing it either from a local account or from the GDM chooser.
What doesn't work, however, is shutting down or restarting directly from a networked account connected while only being connected over the wireless network. This is what's being displayed on the terminal after it has tried tho shut down for a while:
Code:
The system is going down for halt NOW!
acpid: exiting
init: cron main process (1011) killed by TERM signal.
init: tty1 main process (1365) killed by TERM signal.
[code]...
If I try ctrl-alt-del at this stage, it says:
"init: rc main process (3030) killed by TERM signal"
"Checking for running unattended-upgrades: "
And then it will hang again, until I hold the powerbutton for some seconds. The unattended-upgrades part is what seems to be the culprit. I suspect it is about the wireless network not being connected any longer or something like that, but I'm not sure about how to go about debugging shutdown scripts here. I'd be grateful for pointers. I will try and see how it goes with the old interfaces file setup, but I'd rather make nm work.
