Recently RHEL 6 Beta 2 released and I want to install it through kickstart but it stucked at one time while Re-initializing the disk partition. If I manually click on "Re-initialize All" it goes fine but I am in verse to ignore the message box and proceed automatically through kickstart. Anyone who have come across this issue?

I tested with RHEL6 Beta and they don't include pvscsi driver we use for Vmware ESX.We did asked them to include this driver with new RHEL 6 Beta 1 but they din't. Now we expect it to be shipped with RHEL 6 Beta 2. How can I track the same beforehand. Is there any repository where can I track whether they have plan to ship it or not?

I wonder if there is an easy way to accomplish the following: I made a tool and part of it needs to be compiled. It would be easy if I can automate compilation for multiple platforms (x86 / x86_64 / RHEL / SLES / Ubuntu). Is there a way to do this automated on a single host? Or should I set up an os for each distro? Also is there a way to generate RPM and deb files also on the same host without having to edit the meta files each time a version changes?

The Avant Window Navigator beta, as taken from the project's Bazaar repository, isn't configuring correctly on my machine and gave me loads of errors previous to this point, so I've had my hands full for a while now. Three packages that AWN needs to compile (gnome-desktop-devel, gnome-vfs-devel and libgnome-devel) are refusing to install, leaving me with this Quote: checking for AWN... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.8.0 gthread-2.0 gobject-2.0 gtk+-2.0 gdk-2.0 >= 2.10 dbus-glib-1 gnome-desktop-2.0 libgnome-2.0 gnome-vfs-module-2.0 gconf-2.0) were not met: No package 'gnome-desktop-2.0' found No package 'libgnome-2.0' found No package 'gnome-vfs-module-2.0' found.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables AWN_CFLAGS and AWN_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. and this is why they won't install Quote:hal = 0.5.13-9.fc12 is needed by package hal-devel-0.5.13-9.fc12.x86_64 (fedora) I need an old version of HAL for the "dependency resolution failed" notices to go away. One which PackageKit says is still on my computer. I would try to downgrade via yum but setenforce 0 fails. What do I need to do to get this whole thing finished?

I'm trying to compile a beta MIPS simulator application built on the Qt UI framework, called QtSpim. It's been quite a learning experience for me so far, but I've run into a roadblock.The beta can be downloaded from here: URL... (look in the column on the right).I first had trouble finding qmake, then found out that I could use qmake-qt4.

I'm currently using Fedora 12 with kernel 2.6.31.9 and I was trying to upgrade to 2.6.32.2. These are the steps I followed. After rebooting and choosing this kernel from the Grub menu, I'm just greeted with a black screen with a blinking cursor and it won't proceed beyond that.
These are the commands I issued. I received an error on the first make modules about the mismatch. I then ran CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y and once finished I ran make modules again and it completed successfully.
Code:
Downloaded kernel package 2.6.32.2 from www.kernel.org
untar archive
make menuconfig (no changes made, saved config file)
make

I update my last kernl to 2.6.38-rc7 but when I launch VirtualBox, on stdout.The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (2.6.38-rc7) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup.

It has been years since I have need to compile the kernel or its modules. Here goes: I recently upgraded to ubuntu 10.10 and needed the kernel source and its modules source. The relevant directories are in a mess. Several diff versions, broken links, the works. Is there a nice easy way, to remove all of the sources, there, and err "install" the ones for my latest kernel, in the correct places. Then I might have a chance at getting the two modules I need complied! Nvidia being one for the geforce 4 mx420 nv17

When compiling software I get the following notice : You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.31.5xls-domU kernel installed.
Yum says :

Package kernel-devel-2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version
But uname says :

I have downloaded the newest most stable Linux kernel, 2.6.33.2.
I thought I would test this using VirtualBox. So I create a dynamically sized harddisk of 4 GB. And installed CentOS 5.3 with just the minimum packages.
I setup the make menuconfig with just the default settings.
After that I ran make and got the following error:
The amount of space I have left is:
My virtual size is 4 GB, but the actual size is 3.5 GB.
How much size should I give when compiling and installing a Linux kernel? Are there any guidelines to follow when doing this? This is my first time, so just experimenting with this.

These days, I tried to compile my own kernel. Now, it seems work. However, when the kernel is booting, I always get the error message like below:
acpiphp_ibm: ibm_acpiphp_init: acpi_walk_namespace failed
It looks that something is wrong with my acpi subsystem's configuration. But no matter How I reconfig it, this message still occurs.
My distribution is UBUNTU 10.04 LTS
original kernel with the distribution is 2.6.32
My own kernel is 2.6.35

I am compiling kernel to learn it and as well as for edubook, a netbook I am working on. I wanted to put the compilation under my home directory and followed the syntax suggested in the README in /usr/src/linux,like,
Quote:
'make o=/home/pbhat/temp/kcompile menuconfig'
Like this I have gone through full compilation successfully,but see no output going to the specified folder.Could anybody point out where I went wrong? I was compiling under /usr/src/linux and in Opensuse 11.2.I followed the README apparently written by Linus where I saw the above make syntax.Maybe that is old and hold good no more.

I would like to add latest tc+esfq functionality to machines running older distributions, FC3, FC5 etc. I am told I should down load the latest kernel and recompile with the proper patches which I can do. Are there problems with using latest kernels with older distributions, they are all running 2.6.x, but the x has of course gone up since FC3.

I'm trying to compile a kernel for my Crux Linux install. I figured I'd do a 'make defconfig' to setup a .config file with the default configuration and then try to add anything I will need for my specific system. I found a script that scans my system and prints out a list of any current modules I am using. That way I can make sure to add these to my new kernel. It looks something like this:
Code:
ac.ko.gz
agpgart.ko.gz
ata_generic.ko.gz
ata_piix.ko.gz
battery.ko.gz
button.ko.gz
compal-laptop.ko.gz
dcdbas.ko.gz
dell-laptop.ko.gz
drm_kms_helper.ko.gz
drm.ko.gz
ehci-hcd.ko.gz
Is there a way to add these to my current configuration without having to go into 'make menuconfig' and search for each one? It's not too hard to search for many of them. But the ones with short names I'm not finding. Like ac.ko for example. 'ac.ko' returns 0 search results and 'ac' returns anything and everything with those 2 letters in it.

installing swi-prolog on RHEL 5.4 64bit. during the make it returns the error
[code]...
From what I understand -fPIC is something that is only a concern on 64bit operating systems. I tried this on RHEL 5.4 32bit and it worked fine. How do I get past this error? I've tried disabling SElinux as recommended on the swi-prolog website, but that had no effect. I also tried compiling with "CFLAGS=-fPIC" but still the same issue. This happens on all my RHEL 5.4 64bit machines.

The RHEL 4 update 7 installation CD installs the kernel with version 2.6.9-78.EL and therefore must contain corresponding vmlinuz and initrd.img. However I would like to have an all modules initrd that is used during installation but for a different version (2.6.9-78.0.13.EL). Is there a way in which I could obtain/make such an initrd?

I found the how too's to do the compile, but what I want to know is.. what is the most complete way to find all the hardware and such that is in my laptop so i can build all the support into the kernel that i need and leave out EVERYTHING i dont need.
