CentOS 5.5 x86_64, the use of KVM virtual install WIN2003, show CPU information is QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.9.1
Some applications need to verify information on CPU, resulting in not running.
Information on how to modify the physical machine VCPU CPU information?
My CPU is a Xeon 5504 physical machine
I'm running a fresh install on an intel i7 system on an asus p6t deluxe v2 motherboard with the onboard NIC (Marvell Technology pci-e). I know the NIC is working as when I boot into the onboard OS that Asus provides (Asus Express Gate SSD)I have a working net connection.Booting up CentOS hangs at determining IP information for eth0 and eventually fails with the following error:PING xxx.170.30.1 from xxx.170.31.231 eth0: 56(84) bytes of data---xxx.170.30.1 ping statistics ---4 packets transmitted, o received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 2999ms, pipe 3 failed.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wanted to change authentication options in
1) /etc/pam.d directory files common-password, common-auth, common-account
2) /etc/login.defs - PASS* fields
I know the fields that need to be changed but what I could not find was
a) commands that change these options similar to useraddusermod and so on but those which can change system wide settings
b) API that can change these options (C API)
I have almost accepted that there in fact aren't such things. You have to manually update the files. I would prefer not though.So I am asking here as last attempt to find such commandsAPI. Please let me know if they are available.
To run my other linux distros on another drive I have been manually entering the kernel and initrid info for each distro on the opensuse yast boot loader. For windows 7 it just runs the mbr on the drive windows 7 is on. However I can not get it to do that on the other linux drive. The problem for me is that on every kernel upgrade I have to manually change the info. I would rather have grub on the sdd linux disk take care of it on the upgrades. The drive that holds the other linux versions is sdd. Opensuse is on sdc.

I know there are similar topics about this that have been posted, but the information I need I cannot find. Im in a situation where I have two new HP DL360 G6 servers, both have a HP Smart Array B110i Sata Raid Controller. Since the raid controller is so new CentOS 5.3/5.4 and RHEL 5.3/5.4 do not have support built into the installer.I do have a driver for the raid controller which I have used and successfully installed CentOS 5.3 on one of the systems.The reason I need to customize an ISO is because I need the raid controller driver as part of the installation disc. As these systems are servers and are going to be deployed remotely I will not have physical access to these systems if they need to be rebuilt. I also have to build machines remotely as well using iLO (having a floppy image or usb image of the drivers does not work through iLO).
The installation rpm's can be as is, I do not need to make any changes there. I just need to make sure that the raid controller driver is loaded into memory from the media rather than another media source, before the installer kicks in.
I am trying to get my head around my new server. I am using CENTOS 5.4 x86_64 with 300GB harddrive.
The 300 GB been partitioned with the following:
Device Size Used Available Percent Used Mount Point
/dev/md0 99M 18M 77M 19% /boot
/dev/md1 16G 8.7G 5.8G 61% /
/dev/md2 246G 40G 194G 18% /home
/dev/md3 4.8G 1.6G 3.0G 35% /var
/usr/tmpDSK 3.9G 432M 3.3G 12% /tmp
I have increased teh tmpDSK as it was getting full very quickly. My question is, what are these md0; md1, md2 and md3 are they harddrive partitions and as md1 is getting full will that have an impact on my sites.
One of our devices running CentOS 5--an 8e6 Technologies Enterprise Reporter network appliance--has started displaying the following three messages repeatedly, though not continuously.Best as I can tell, hard drive four may be experiencing sector errors.(The messages do differ slightly at times. For example, 16384 may instead read 49152 or 12285, and the two strings of colon-separated hexadecimal digits may also vary in content.)Other than these messages, the device seems to be running fine. Its internal diagnostics indicate no problems.I will, of course, call 8e6 Techonologies tech support. But, prior to that, I'd like to do some troubleshooting on my own. What other troubleshooting techniques may I employ to gather more information?

I have been running into network issues lately with my CentOS 5 (installed on AMD Athlon X2 - 64 bit machine about 2 years ago). It was able to connect to the network fine until yesterday when I installed more memory into the machine restarted it.
Upon restart, the boot up was paused at 'Determining IP information for eth0' step for a while and booted with out connecting to the network. I tried restarting the network (/sbin/service network restart), but this is the error message I continuously get: Determining IP information for eth0...PING xxx.1.226.1 (xxx.1.226.1) from xxx.1.226.83 eth0: 56(84) bytes of data

Yes, I know this is ancient, but this is what they're developing on at work. I'm trying to get connected either via ethernet or wireless and neither one works. When I boot the computer to Window XP it does connect on ethernet. Ethernet should be easy so I'm concentrating on that. But I get "Determining IP information for eth0... failed." after a 'service network start'.Here is some other information that was asked on similar threads:

i've configured my laptop so i can use my domain account (active directory win 2003 DC) to logon to my machine. Now i'd like to browse and mount shares etc using my logon information. Now when i connect to a share with nautilus it tells me 'guest' can't log in and i need to re-enter my user info. This is a real pain since our passwords change often. Is there some way i can use PAM to authenticate? I've searched everywhere, but you only find info about the other way round (win->linux).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to put centOS on a laptop with the i7-640M processor. I'm trying to figure out before I purchase a laptop which laptop (if any) will work sufficiently well with centOS. The software I'll be running is only qualified on centOS.Where do I look to find such information?Specifically I'm considering the hp online configurable dv5t laptop with the i7-640M processor.
I'm planning to leave it in a closet most of the time and VNC over VPN to get to it.Digressing still further, the performance for a single threaded application as well as the price and power consumption for "always on" make it a good choice for a server applicaion... not to mention the battery backup in the event of power failure. It may not be designed to operate under high CPU load for extended periods of time so I my use external fans to improve ventilation around the unit or take other steps to mitigate a cooling deficiency.Digressing yet still further, yes I do need the performance of the i7 so lower power processors are not an option. I just really only need one or sometimes 2 cores at most making the 32nm i7-640M ideal.

I have changed my hostname to - ns1.searchdns.net by
1) editing the files /etc/sysconfig/network
2) then run the command - echo "ns1.searchdns.net" > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
3) then restarted the service /etc/init.d/network restart
I run the command hostname and it returns ns1.searchdns.net. But I am also supposed to modify the /etc/hosts file. I am not sure about this. The content looks like this at the moment
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

What should my host file look like now? I am not sure if I should also modify the second line or delete it etc.
