We are using vmware server 1.0.10, centOS distribution 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5PAE.
We started the vmware service successfully, however, while we do ifconfig, we did not see vmnet1, and we do ifconfig vmnet1 up, we see that vmnet1:no such interface.
Is there an easy way to change just one option in the kernel? I need to set something from =M to =N I tried installing the kernel source rpm according to the centos wiki site, then changing the .config, make oldconfig etc. but the always build always fails.

How to change the .iso in virtual cdrom after qemu is started?Host is Debian, ctrl+alt+2 doesn't work.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been installing CentOS 5.5 on a VirtualBox virtual machine using the netinstall iso (leaving almost all options on default).It automatically obtained addresses of the nameserver the host machine was using. However shortly before the installation would have finished the nameserver went down and the installer started giving error "file ... cannot be opened".
After changing the nameserver address (to Google DNS 8.8.8.8) in /etc/resolv.conf , addresses can be resolved again (wget, ping) but the installer still gives the same error and attempts to connect to the original DNS.It there a way to tell the installer about the DNS change and resume installation? Or do I have to either wait for the original DNS or to do the whole installation again?
A while ago, when I was using Maverick, Firefox started to crash randomly and led to kernel panics.
So I upgraded to Natty (clean install) and Firefox there too crashed.
Then I was getting graphics and make problems.
Today I tried to install Fedora 15. It first boots to a Live desktop that warned me that my hard drive had 65000+ bad sectors. Sixty-five thousand.
So I got a new one. A WD Scorpio Black, 750GB 7200RPM with Advanced Format.
Again I boot into Fedora 15. OK, no bad sectors. I tried to run Disk Utility Self Tests but it constantly crashed. Fedora warns you about this.
In the Live session, I opened Firefox. It also crashed just like back in Ubuntu. Then the screen flashes black and got warnings after warnings that a kernel module has crashed.
So I took out my old Maverick installation CD and first tried a Live session. However, Disk Utility told me that SMART is not supported while on Fedora, it was.
So I tried to install. But soon after that, I got a warning that the installer has crashed because a file copied to the disk did not match the file on CD. Right now I am in the Maverick Live session.
I am trying to install Centos5.6 on an older machine which has a 3com NIC. how I can get the kernel modules for this nic, or do I have to compile a new kernel with this enabled?
View 19 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get Centos V 5.5 working on my old P4P800 Asus motherboard . This motherboard has an inbuilt 3c2000 1Gbit NIC. I know from previous experience that it does not work with a standard kernel. So as the network card doesn't work I cannot connect to standard repositories. The Kernel source does not seem to be in the main install DVD so have downloaded [URL].. files from another machine. and loaded them onto the local drive. uname -r reports kernel 2.6.18-194.el5 however there are many kernel src files in the RPMS directory and yum install kernel-2.6.18-194.8.el5 through kernel-2.6.18-194.32.el5 report Nothing to do or incompatible achitechture ? I also notice that make install for the 3c2000 tar file I have doesn't work either. I know Centos is locked down more than the previous Mandrake 9.2 Install was under Mandrake a urpmi kernel-source, make install of the driver code and insmod 3c2000 was all that was needed.I am still pretty new to linux and just need some pointers on what needs to be installed and to identify what centos is looking for?

I recently installed KDE in my ubuntu 10.10. To access KDE, I want to use
startx /usr/bin/startkdeBut using it disables sound in KDE (Sound is working fine in GNOME). It doesn't sound for anything like login sound, totem, mplayer or any other playerBut when I press Alt+Ctrl+F1 to change to virtual console, the playback resumes from where it was in time and when coming back Alt+Ctrl+F7 and the time in totem (or any other player) doesn't move. While log out also it doesn't play logout sound and doesn't logout, so I have to press Ctrl+Alt+F1 so that logout sound play then it exits.When starting KDE by kdm or gdm, the sound works normally. But I don't want to login again using kdm or gdm and not to use root user to start kdm or gdm.I don't know what is the difference between when KDE is started by startx or by kdm/gdm where the same user login in kdm/gdm as that for startx

Yesterday I had to use my netbooks Acer restore program to restore my win7 partition to factory settings. This morning when booting up unbuntu, I was greeted with the guild freezing every time. I also booted in classic and had the same problem. I decided to open safe mode and deactivate each program one at a time. WHen I get to network manager Unity boots fine. I then try to start Network Manager from inside of Unity after it boots and as soon as it boots, the entire computer freezes again, it was booting fine until I had to restore my win7 partition, win7 networks still work. It's and Asus Aspire One 722.

My ubuntu system has been running really well until this morning - software update prompt appeared on the screen, so I ran with it and let it do its thing. A while after this, my WiFi network connection started failing. I've tried rebooting and then it can take up to five minutes or more for the password (keychain) prompt to appear. Once I have typed in the password the network connection starts to work. Then cuts out. Works. Then fails again.

I compiled my kernel, compiled scsi support into kernel, used the new kernel and initrd, the boot failed.Then ,i unzip my initrd, found that sd_mod.ko can't be insert, i added it manual, and reboot OK.so, why! in the kernel configure , the sd_mod.ko is set to <M> , but why it can't be found in initrd?

I'm running CentOS 5.3 and would like to know what the "best" or "proper" method is to build a custom kernel using the generic kernel sources from kernel.org. Most of the references I've found talk about modifying the current CentOS kernel using the RPM way. I really want to have the latest kernel due to some important security issues that haven't been addressed in the current CentOS 5.3 kernel.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe first server I installed installed fine. The second server, installed with the same config, went to "kernel panic not syncing no init found try passing init= option in kernel" error. I tried reinstalling but it keeps going to that error after install reboot. The storage is ISCSI connected via Intel Server Adapter, which allows it to boot from ISCSI. Not sure if that's the cause for the problem, but the first server is connected to the same ISCSI and installed just fine.
Is there a way that I can make sure ISCSI module installs during installation? Although I think it is installed since it's able to copy the files and setup /dev/sda. I just wana make sure that it installs during setup.
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 am an old days RH release user(from 6.x) and just switching back from Debian/Ubuntu to CentOS on some servers, but I can not understand the kernel update strategy currently enabled in CentOS.There are two boxes, with almost identical installation, but recently there was an auto update of kernel on one box. This auto update also seems to issue an auto reboot on the machine, which is unacceptable on server machines.
