I have looked through many forums and blogs but can't seem to find CURRENT information for how to install YUM on centos 5.2 x86
If anyone can direct me to a page or site that has a list of current RPM's needed and possibly some instructions. All the lists Ive come across are for i386, and the ones I have found for x86 .. most of the rpm's end up as 404's
I have a new VPS running centos 5.2 w/ plesk and it did not come with yum.
The installer can't see my raid controller (I assume) as I'm getting the following error:"Error opening /dev/mapper/isw_jbhgjgjj_Vol0: No such device or address"It just sees them as 4 individual drives: sda, sdb, sdc and sdd.Please note that I have set up the RAID 5 in the controller bios interface and the image name is Vol0, which it seems that it tries to load but for some particular reason it can't.I have also tried different bios settings and nothing worked.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that I'm trying to install CentOS 5.4 x86_64 DVD ISO on Supermicro X7SBI server with installed Adaptec RAID 3405 controller.
I created RAID 5 array and is working fine (adaptec status says Optimal) but I can't install CentOS to that array (1.5TB size).
Whenever I try to install with: linux dd
I'm asked for a driver, which I have downloaded from Adaptec site and extracted contents to USB drive (in installation found as /sba1) which has now a lot of IMG and some ISO files on it.
I try to load (I simplified names) RHEL5.img, CENTOS.img... with x64 names (one exact name: aacraid driverdisk-CentOS-x86_64.img) and I always get the error message: "No devices of the appropriate type were found on this driver disk"
This is going on for a week now and I can't find the right driver or something I'm doing wrong to get install done.
I am trying to install CentOS-DS on version 5.4 x86_64. I cannot get to the Extras repo due to lack of wired Internet access. I have wireless (except to server) and I have big UFD drives.

1. Do I need a Centos RAID device driver for hardware RAID-1 on the HP DL380R05 E5420 Server?
2. Should I use Centos i386 or Centos x86_64 in this case? Which one: CentOS 5.2 or CentOS 5.3?
3. Does Centos support Embedded NC373i Multifunction Gigabit network cards?
The following is my server's hardware configuration:

I want to install CentOS from netinstall CD, but it doesn't work for wireless connection, because it just looks up for eth0 connection. Well, I connected server to wired USB connection and it's named eth1. I want to use netinstall CD but using eth1 connection. Is there any way for doing it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having new hardware and IDE driver for that hardware as drive disk image (it8213_centos53.img). CentOS 5.3 installation is working fine with drive disk image at USB and CentOS 5.3 at DVD. Our application uses CentOS 5.3 and we build a custom kick-start ISO for installations. Using that ISO client is going to install on all hardware boxes.
Note while installing :
a) No network connection is avalible.
b) No USB isavalible.
c) No floppy is avalible.
d) Only single CD-ROM is avalible.
So, is it possible to build single custom kick-start CentOS 5.3 ISO which contains dirve disk image and entire installation will be done using that image. If so please let me know the steps to build it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install CentOS 5.5 on an old Pentium 4 desktop PC I have, which is not being used for much other than being a MTA, and I want to migrate this functionality onto the CentOS platform for stability (Windows is a perpetual nightmare. I partitioned a spare 20GB to experiment with, and I want to install CentOS into here to play around with first so I can move my files around between Windows and CentOS, until I'm happy all of the stuff is gone, then I can scrub the Windows partition and claim the space for CentOS.
So, I've downloaded and burned the DVD and tried to install. I start the install with no args from the main install menu, and the process goes through some probing and then comes up with the "Welcome to CentOS" menu. I go through this, and then it tries to start X Server. It fails, and falls back to text mode. I get the "Welcome to CentOS" screen again, and then proceed through it. I set my keyboard layout to UK, then this message comes up at the bottom of the screen:
"_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for localhost:6001: Temporary failure in name resolution"
then on the next line: "Cannot open display :1" If I force the install to text, by typing "linux text" at the first menu, I get about the same way through, but the install just hangs doing nothing, and no disc access to the install disc.
I've noticed this happen with every CentOS installation I've done in the past and it's confusing me. On the software template screen select, I always select "Server" and leave the extras option unchecked, I also check "Customise now". The only things I choose are the editors (to get vi), Web server and server configuration tools (and this time also Java). I didn't select any GUI programs, yet it still installs things like X, GNOME components and also samba. Why does it do that? There no way they're needed for dependencies. Is there something I'm missing when selecting the software components? Why does it still install samba when I didn't select it from under "Servers" components? Or have I misunderstood what software selection does and it installs all those components regardless but doesn't automatically turn the services on?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been running CentOS 5 as my primary desktop for about 6 months now, and have been very pleased with it. Since I work as a hardware designer most of the tools I need only provide support for RHEL, and I have found these tools (once you hack the installer anyway) generally work very, very well indeed on CentOS.
I recently bought a new computer and I thought I'd share my experiences of installing CentOS 5.2 on it. Here's the specs - Core i7 920, 12Gig DDR3, Radeon 4780, Gigabyte EX58-UD4. The first issue I encountered was a very early boot crash. This was a known problem with the onboard Gig-E chipset and I eventually found the solution on your wiki site. Using a separate network card I was able to install the new kernel module and it now works great. I believe this is now sorted in 5.3.
Next up was a problem with the Radeon card I think - after installing the ATI driver (proprietary), X would come up with a white screen and the computer would lock up. Going back to VESA would get me going again, but frankly I can't stand X without video acceleration. This turned out to be a problem with "RHGB" (not the first time I've had problems with this to be honest). Disabling it in the grub command line sorted that out.
The next problem was the performance of the harddisk - I was only getting a few MB read/write speed out of it according to hdparm. This seriously slowed down the PC. To fix that I had to enable AHCI in the bios which got things running much better - about 55 MB/sec.
The last problem was with the virtualization. I run VirtualBox with a windows instance and it kept crashing every time I booted it (I'd copied it across from my old workstation). This was because of FlexLM drivers used for USB dongle based licenses. Now, these will only work if you enable the VT extensions on the processor. I thought I had - the VM certainly had it enabled and so had the bios. Going through the VirtualBox log's it seemed like they were being detected but not enabled. From what I understand, VT-x was enabled, but the BIOS is supposed to also set up some form of locking mechanism or these virtual machines wont use it. It seems this wasn't done properly with the BIOS revision supplied with the motherboard (F2). Upgrading to the latest BIOS got it working properly.
My only outstanding issues now aren't really CentOS related - enabling AHCI has stopped my (proper, dual boot) Windows installation from working. At the moment I have to disable it in the BIOS before booting Windows - no big problem as I don't do that often (I maybe need to reinstall it). The other issue is GRUB wont work with my USB keyboard even though the BIOS seems happy enough with it. Odd in that the same keyboard worked fine with GRUB on my old workstation.
Finally, a couple of general remarks about using CentOS - it's never crashed on me and I do thrash the thing at times when I'm doing hardware synthesis or P&R! Base software is a bit limited, but adding some external repos (RPMForge and EPEL in particular) generally sorts that out. The only thing I (personally) miss is a more up-to-date version of mono.

I am trying to setup a simple Linux Virtual System (LVS). The 1st layer is two Virtual Servers, the 2nd layer is two Real Servers and the 3rd layer is one PostgreSQL Server. All data is on the third layer (PostgreSQL). The Apache Server is running on the 2nd layer but it is supposed to retrieve data (Folders) from the 3rd layer servers (PostgreSQL). I like to setup NFS server on the 3rd layer and NFS client on the 2nd (Apache) layer. I can't figure out how to do it! I have searched the Internet with no luck. I am sure many people on the CentOS community have done it. Can somebody point me to a Howto.. or email me a procedure they have.
