CentOS 5 :: Installer Crashes With On-board Realtek 8111DL Enabled
Oct 27, 2009
I have a Biostar TA785GE which as I understand it, has a Realtek 8111DL on-board.
Booting with the default label from the 64-bit installation DVD crashes before any user input, with indecipherable text on-screen (text mode, not X11). Symptoms were the same with the Fedora 11 32-bit installation DVD and the Fedora 12 Live 32-bit CD. Booting with "linux text" mode shows a kernel panic in ":r8169:rtl8169_init_one+0x369/0x9d4" from "pci_device_probe+0x100/0x180".
Disabling the on-board NIC allowed the boot to proceed, and get as far as detecting the hard drive partitions (where I stopped it since Ubuntu is installed).
Ubuntu 9.04 Workstation(Desktop?) install DVD worked fine, and I've installed it and am using it to enter this. From Ubuntu 9.04 on this hardware:
- "uname -r" shows
Linux snoopy 2.6.28-16-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 20 19:48:32 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- "lsmod | egrep '816|811'" shows:

I have a Biostar TA785GE which as I understand it, has a Realtek 8111DL on-board.
Booting with F11 32-bit DVD, and the F12 Live CD crashes before any user input, with indecipherable text on-screen (text mode, not X11).
Symptoms were the same with the Fedora 11 32-bit installation DVD, the Fedora 12 Live 32-bit CD and the CentOS 64-bit install DVD.
Booting with "linux text" mode (w/CentOS DVD) shows a kernel panic in ":r8169:rtl8169_init_one+0x369/0x9d4" from "pci_device_probe+0x100/0x180". I'll have to shutdown again to try the Fedora CD/DVDs, but if there's a different panic I'll post that tomorrow.
Disabling the on-board NIC allowed the boot to proceed, and get as far as detecting the hard drive partitions (where I stopped it since Ubuntu is installed).
Ubuntu 9.04 Workstation(Desktop?) install DVD worked fine, and I've installed it and am using it to enter this.

So, my question: if I disable the NIC and install (alongside Ubuntu), will I be able to get the 8111DL working with a Fedora kernel?

I can not get any output from the digital optical S/PDIF jack on my on-board audio device. But I am getting an analog signal from the headphone jack. I don't have an RCA S/PDIF cable, so I haven't tested the RCA S/PDIF jack. Below are my system specs and hardware info.
According to my MOBO (DFI Blood-Iron P45) manual, the Audio device is:
Realtek ALC885 HDA CODEC
8-channel audio output
Optical S/PDIF-out and coaxial RCA S/PDIF interfaces
There are 6 phone jacks (including 1 mic), an RCA S/PDIF, and an Optical S/PDIF jack on the MOBO. The output of alsa-info.sh is here:[URL]... Note that I tried several model options (6stack-dig, 6stack-dig-demo, intel-alc889a, auto) for the snd-hda-intel module, but none worked,

I have installed Ubuntu 9.04
uname -r
2.6.28-11-generic
Checked cable/network with 386Box running Ubuntu 8.04 all OK. Could not get Realtek 8168 on mother board to work on Gigabyte H55M-S2H motherboard. I tried to install r8168 driver but no luck ... so I bought another Linux compatible card which turned out to be a RTL8139c (eth1) and the driver I am using on this is card is 8139too.
[Code]....
My preference would be to get the motherboard ethernet working but perhaps the card may be easier to get working. Anyway after searching the net for ideas and trying different things I've just about given up. I have reinstalled Ubuntu today so eth0 is back to using the r8169 driver. I'm no expert so my attempts at following other recipies have so far failed. From what I have read the 8139too driver should have worked with the RTL8139C chip so I have run out of ideas. I must be doing something wrong.

I am having trouble installing the 10.04 RC On my desktop the installer just crashes with a fatal error, before you get to the first screen of the installation process, where you choose to run as live cd or install. On my Laptop i am trying to Install alongside my current 9.10 installation and i keep getting the errors illustrated in the screenies. It is all probably down to my stupidity, but if it is not then this is very worrying 1less than a week before release.

Trying into install fedora. I am setting up my system as a dual boot over two drives. I have set up a custom layout and whenever I get to the step to write changes to disc it crashes with an unhandled exception. I have tried multiple times now, it always crashes.
Here is the first line from the exception report:
anaconda 15:31 exception report
Traceback (most recent call first):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packagees/pyanaconda/storage/devicelibs/swap.py", raise SwapError("swapon failed for '%s'" % device)

Trying to install ubuntu 11.04 drove me nuts until I found this page .
My system is an ASUS moderboard with an AMD chipset. The solution came when I entered the BIOS and disabled the cool&quiet feature for the chipset.
After installation, I have to keep cool&quiet disabled in order to run ubuntu. Re-enabling cool&quiet results in ramdon restarts or freezing

It has been a few days I'm struggling to install Kubuntu 10.10 on my computer. I started with the normal CD, burnt it and boot the computer. Halfway through the graphical installer, I got a black screen and system froze up. I tried several things (including running the installer with nomodest and single options) but didn't help.
Then I downloaded the alternate CD and started to install in the text mode. I could get passed installing the kernel and programs but right after adding a user/password, the text installer crashed with a black screen and system froze!
Now, I already have Windows 7 64 bits on this computer and have done all kinds of memory/hardware tests on it and it works fine. The CPU, GPU and the case is well ventilated so nothing is overheating. I also run heavy loads on Windows (MATLAB, Chess engine tournaments) for hours and hours and never had a crash. So I guess the hardware is fine.
Here are the specs of the system if it can help:
CPU: i7 950 GPU: ATI HD5870 (model Gigabyte GV-R587UD-1GD) RAM: 12 GB DDR-1666 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) Optical drive: Liteon ihbs112 USB Mouse and Keyboard
Windows is installed on a SSD and I have 2x 2.0TB hard disks for data. Kubunto, however was being installed on a separate and dedicated 200GB hard disk. During installation process I format and partition this drive. I didn't disconnect/disable the other drives. In BIOS, all SATA controllers are set to run in AHCI mode.
My primary suspect is the graphics card. However, why it would ever crash even in the text mode? Although it works fine in Windows even with heavy gaming so graphics card is itself stable.

I was trying to fix gparted (it was crashing whenever it started) and then when I would type my password in the login screen, the screen would flash back and then the login screen would come back. If I logged in in a terminal and then did startx, it would just show a black screen. I figured it was broken. I made an Ubuntu 10.10 liveCD and booted it up and clicked on the installer thing and then it froze and an error thing popped up saying Parted crashed.
Essentially what I need to do is install Ubuntu without using the partition GUI.Can I try to find a thing that will let me make an empty EXT4 partition and then a thing to let me install Ubuntu to it?

I try to set up a 5 nodes cluster and a shared Coraid Storage with conga but it fails with "Shared Storage Support" checked.The message is:'A problem occurred when installing packages: Packages of set "Clustered Storage" are not present in available repository' and it is shown under every node on the next sceen after I submit.The pc where conga runs is on the same subnet (192.168.xxx.xxx) and it has the same /etc/hosts of the other nodes.In that pc runs a proxy too and the nodes go out through it (that pc has 2 NICs)Every node (2.6.18-128.1.14.el5-xen-x86_64) is patched whith the last yum update (this morning) the same is for the pc (2.6.18-128.1.14.el5).Every node has 4 NICs , 2 NICc towards the storage the others in bonding towards the WAN.Every node is exactly alike, they have been installed with the ks.cfg generated from the first node and they all have the support for Clustering, Virtualization, and Clustered Storage.

I'm trying to load CentOS 5.5 on a new server with an Intel S5500BC motherboard using RAID 1. This board has a known problem with RHEL 5.x and the driver disk supplied has a fix. Here is the download for the driver [URL] Under the ESRT2_RHEL4-5_SLES9-1--11_v.13.21.2010_README file are directions in Section 3.1.3 on how to install the RHEL5x megasr driver. This works. The last thing replaces the ACHI driver with the megasr driver (paragraph 15) by loading the megasr.13.21.0614.2010-1-rhel50-u4-all.img in a temp file and then type "./replace_achi.sh". This step doesn't work and it is the critical one as it replaces the achi with megasr in the initrd image.

I've just set up a PC with CentOS 5.3 runing on near identical hardware to an existing 5.2 machine. Motherboard is Asus M2A-VM which I discover by chance generally works very well with CentOS. Ethernet is on board Nvidia.The older machine just did run gigabit speed without any intervention at all, rather to my surprise. The newer machine insists on running at 100 Mbit which is annoying as it is connected to a NAS through a gigabit dumb switch.
The obvious difference between the two is that ethtool on the older machine says that supported ports are TP, and so the port is TP. Whereas the newer machine says that supported ports are TP or MII and insists on running MII. I cannot change this with ethtool -s eth0 port tp. Perhaps not too surprisingly, mii-tool says that the supported speeds range up to 100 Mbit.

I am using Centos 5.4 on an Intel DG451D Main Board. Two SATA drives in RAID1 mode via the main board's built in AHCI controller. It seems to work just fine but I would like to be able to monitor the state of my drives and controller, especially during a re-build and make configuration changes etc if possible, so new drives can be added etc from within the OS. Is there a way to do this within Centos or am I stuck with using just the BIOS configuration system? Apologies if this is a stupid question - I am pretty new to this and have spent several hours trying to find a solution to my question but to no avail.

Everything has been working fine but I recently installed a sata drive and lvm didn't see it. I'm sure its a driver issue. I'm running centos 5 on a Tyan-Thunder-K8SR-S2881 board. currently centos is running on an IDE drive. I tried several drivers for red hat distos 3 & 4 but no success for my sata drives to work.

I installed CentOS 5.3 Final on a machine today and was having some problems with the NIC. When I installed CentOs the NIC would not work, I looked in the network configuration and saw that neither of my two NICS had IRQ's so I arbitrarily gave them some and they both worked fine. I then ran yum -update, installed updates and rebooted my machine. Again, the NICs stopped working, only this time setting the IRQ did nothing. I did some googling and found this thread: [URL] The output from the first two commands is as follows:
[root@localhost ~]# uname -rmi
2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 i686 i386
[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/lspci | grep ther 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) 05:01.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) I followed the steps outlined and my issue still remains.

I've done some research for CentOS and Linux support in general for this card, and I haven't found the answer I'm looking for. Does anyone use this card in a system of theirs, and, if so, how easy was it to set up? It's on an Asus M4A785T-M/CSM motherboard that I'm looking to purchase (Newegg link here for reference). I've seen a lot of Realtek cards have zero problems in Linux before, but I know each chipset is different.

I have a centos server (5.3). I installed WebMin to assist with some of the administration details. In any event, I got it installed but I cannot access it (it requires a secure connection).
I checked out the server and it does not respond to a HTTPS:// request. When I telnet into port 80, it responds but it does not respond on port 443. MOD_SSL is installed and there is an ssl.conf (unmodified).

since I upgraded to firefox 3.6 the program doesn't start up if I have any add-ons enabled.
The program starts fine with add-ons installed, but only starts up once as soon as any off them are enabled. Even normal add-ons like xmarks and adblock give problems.

I am not very experienced using Linux but I never had big problems with Ubuntu. Now I am busy writing my PhD thesis and therefore I had to install CentOS to use one lousy program that I could not get to work under Ubuntu. However, it seems to be quite fine and it is working well besides one fact: The network card stopped working. In the beginning it was working fine although the speed was only on the level of 100mbit. The switch and the LED on the card indicated gbit connection, though. I tried to install the driver for the 8168 card which reduced the card to 100mbit (indicated by the LED on the switch and the card).
Ethtool indicated it was gbit capable but I couldn't activate it. After reading more and more I figured I have to use the 8169 driver again and live with the 100mbit. Unfortunately, after uninstalling the old driver and reinstalling the driver 8169 the network isn't working at all anymore. The network-manager displays the card as inactive and when I try to turn it on it complains about the wrong mac address, which I am not able to change to the proper one. I am using CentOS 5.5 with the latest updates.

I've got a little server setup on my local network and I'm trying to configure it to use miredo. I've got my laptop successfully using it, but for some reason miredo gives this error when I try to start it:
Code:
Error: IPv6 stack not available.
also running "lsmod | grep ipv6" gives these results
Code:
ipv6 270049 1 cnic
xfrm_nalgo 13381 1 ipv6
I get the impression that ipv6 is not enabled on my server, but I'm not sure how I enable it short of doing a reinstall.

The nagios admin interface apparently needs php (although, of course, the howto mentions nothing of the sort). So then, I copied the php.conf that had at some time been installed on the system, and then moved by me out of /etc/httpd/conf.d, back into conf.d. It's a fairly simple one:
#
# PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language which attempts to make it
# easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages.
#
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

I just recently installed CentOS 5.3 and to make a long story short I found the entry for my wireless card under the network settings but when attempting to activate the card the system locks up. I have to reboot at that point as nothing responds (keyboard, mouse, etc..).
Running the command /sbin/lspci -v reveals the following about the wireless card:
