CentOS 5 Server :: Build Xen 3.4.2 With 2.6.18.164.11.1 Kernel
Feb 16, 2010
I need to install latest xen 3.4.2 to my centOS. I have:
* xen 3.4.2
* Linux 2.6.18 with Xen 3.4.x support source tarball, updated for Xen 3.4.2
* CentOS kernel-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5
Linux 2.6.18 with Xen 3.4.x have old cciss and scsi drivers. It don't support my hardware.
CentOS kernel-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 works normaly, but was not compiled with xen 3.4.2.
How can I patch Linux 2.6.18 kernel or upgade CentOS kernel to the latest xen?

I am trying to build a custom kernel but I couldn't. Here are the steps to reproduce it:
1. Set Up an RPM Build Environment as its is explained in [URL]
2. Then follow the instructions in [URL]
3. When I try to install the kernel source rpm I get the following error:
[matias@Centos ~]$ rpm -i [URL
warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root
warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root . . .
warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root

I'm trying to install a BCM 4312 wireless driver following the Centos howto. Howtos>Laptops>Witeless>Broadcom
On step 3, compiling ... module.I get No rule to make target `build' Stop.When I go to the /lib/modules/2.6.18.194.3.1.el5 directory, the Build file link is broken.If i go to the link source /usr/src/kernels/2.6 ...x86_64 does not exist. The /kernels folder is empty.I think I need to reinstall the identified kernel in that directory and reestablish a link to it. but am not savy enough to do that on my own.

I've been trying to use tracepoints on a newly installed Centos5.5 download, and crash when I call register_trace_sched_switch, which maps to tracepoint_probe_register(sched_switch, my_func) in tracepoint. h/DO_TRACE, where my_func is the function I want called back on a thread switch. I'm trying to do this from an installable module.So I downloaded the sources for 5.5 (current, 2.6.18-194), with the intention of kprinting my way through the above problem.Unlike the downloaded kernel, which is an "ELF 64-bit LSB shared object" (I'm building for an Intel Atom), when I build using "make" in my rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-26..18/linux-2.6.18.x86-64/ directory, I get an "ELF 64-bit LSB executable". When I try to boot it, I get the complaint "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format".
The closest thing I could find on the web, was a suggestion, for some powerpc system, to use the "ELF executable" format instead of "ELF shared object", the opposite of my issue, and that such could be forced by using a CONFIG-RELOCATABLE manifest.I couldn't find any .config manifest that looked likely to produce the result I want.

djmack-5/19/2011-I have purchased an ASUS K52J (intel i7) laptop. I have installed Centos 5.5 (64 bit) from CDs. The I got all the updates and it's now up to 5.6. I have two problems.
(problem-1) - Using the GUI (System->Administration->Hardware) I can get to a Device Manager screen. It shows a JMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller. Using the GUI (System->Administration->Network) I can only see the wireless (wlan0) as configured and active. The ethernet card is not seen as ether 0. I've seen there are downloads to solve this problem, however I've been 100% unable to do and or understand them. I don't know how to build the kernel and I don't have any source code. I only have the binaries (I think). Is there a version of the kernel that I can put on CDs that has understanding of the ether card I referenced above?
P.S. I've downloaded a binary fix and it says it needs 20 or so dependencies (I have zero idea how to get those).
P.S. I've downloaded a source fix and I couldn't get it to install (I'm not a linux kernel build knowlegable person). I don't have the source either.
(problem-2):As stated above I need direct (RJ45) access to the laptop. I currently have the wireless card working but I have no idea how to get this to work with httpd, ssh, scp.I can access things via a web browser right on the laptop. I cannot access this laptop via a web browser from any other box. I cannot access this box via ssh or scp.I disabled the firewall and I disabled the SELinux security.I am stumped as to why I cannot see this ASUS laptop via httpd and/or ssh/scp.I can ssh and scp to other linux servers but these servers cannot ssh or scp into this laptop.

I just rebuild the kernel for slackware 13, everything works, but root file system which is ext3 is mounted as ext2. Normally I've build ext3, ext4 and so on as modules, not in the kernel... but if I do this, then the kernel mounts the file system as ext2, which is build in the kernel. I also modified rc.modules so I can make sure that ext3,ext4,jbd are loaded, but it doesnt work.

I am trying to build rpm for openssh 5.8p1 on centos 5.6 (32 bit) as i have not found rpm for i386 online. i followed the below mentioned steps but when i apply command rpmbuild -bb openssh.spec it gives this error at the end:
configure error: Pam Headers not found
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.18348 (%build)
if there is any rpm availble online or to sort out this build problem,Following steps i followed to build rpm. wget http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/openssh/portable/openssh-5.8p1.tar.gz
tar -xvzf openssh-5.8p1.tar.gz[code]......
Now if you go back into /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<arch> , you should see three RPMs. Go ahead and install them:rpm -Uvh *.rpm

I 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).

I have to administer a few mail servers, a mail log server, 4 nameservers and a web server -all running on Centos 5 server distributions. Now I have a task: to avoid accidental crashes on the production servers while installing updates, my boss asked me to do clones (these clones will all be VMware virtual machines) of the servers (EXCLUDING the actual e-mails and mail log contents) and then to run those clones on VMWare Server. This way, first I will install and test updates on the clones and - if they will be running without crashes - I will apply the updates on the real production servers themselves. I have already installed VMWare Server 2.0 I have a few questions:
- How do I build the virtual machines to exclude the actual mail files and mail logs? Can I use VMware Converter for this purpose, or do I have to use another program?
- How do I actually do this cloning? Is there a tutorial on how to do this?

I have a Centos 4.8 linuxbox running in VMWare ESXi 4 and the kernel is 2.6.9-89.0.11.ELsmp. Recently, this linuxbox is quite unstable, it has kernel panic once a week... But we didn't have any configuration changes on it. And I have attached the kernel panic console screen and lsmod for the server.[URL]...

I have builded my kernel through wiki manual, BUT, the kernel-headers rpm-package has not been builded. Now i have only two packages: kernel and kernel-devel. Is that ok? (i think, that it is not ok, because when i build the same version of kernel on x86_64 platform, after rpmbuild command i have kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-headers packages) My CentOS version is 5.2; platform i686; kernel, kernel-headers, kernel-devel packages 2.6.18-92.el5.

I need to build a new kernel. I was directed toI tried following the instructions but I think I may have ended up with way more than I wanted. After just over 3 hours the build exhausted the 5.2GB I had available and fell over. The .config file used was nearly twice the size of the one I supplied. Why was it changed?I don't need an rpm.Are the patches supplied with the 2.6.38 sources required or nice to have?

I installed the Centos 5.5 with XEN and put 03 virtual machines (Centos 5.5 too). I did this correctly, but I have a problem. In the virtual machine, I need update the kernel. I used "yum update kernel" and this is downloaded correctly and the menu.lst file is updated too, but the kernel not ran. I ran "grub-install /dev/sda" or "grub-install /dev/xvda" and received a error return. I read the device.map file and i ran "grub-install /dev/sde" and received a error return too.
The errors:
[root@vm01 ~]# grub-install /dev/sda
/dev/sda: Not found or not a block device.
[root@vm01 ~]# grub-install /dev/sde
/dev/sda1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[root@vm01 ~]# grub-install /dev/xvda
/dev/xvda: Not found or not a block device.

I'd like to compile a generic kernel for my netbook on my desktop. They are both F12 64bit. On my desktop can I do:
make xconfig
make
make modules_install
Then copy the folder to my netbook then:
make install? Is there a better way? I don't really want to make .rpms.
