I have a rack of Dell 1750s running RHEL 5.3 and we just upgraded the memory from 4GB to 8GB. When the machine boots, the BIOS probes out 8GB, but the boot scroll (dmesg) only shows 4GB, as seen after we login. How can I get it to see all of the mem?

I received an amber light warning "IB110 - SBE Log Disabled." I've learned from Red Hat documentation that this is "for information only". Where can I find a better explanation of this warning? Also, what is the SBE Log, how can I enable it, and where can I view it? It doesn't seem to be in /var
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Precison 690 system in my lab. I want to downgrade the system from RHEL 5 to RHEL $ since some of my software is not working in RHEL 5. I have the installation CD and the dell driver CD. There are 2 cd drives in the system and I am using both the CDS at the same time. But when the installation asks to select hda or hdb to get the driver cd. I put the CD in the second cd dirve which is connected to hdb. When I select hdb it is not recognizing the cd. When I skip the driver selection step I am getting the error:"No valid device were found on which to create new file"I have used the following and nothing worked:

I think the gx620 is called "64-bit capable" or something like that. I get the idea it's not a true 64-bit machine. I am thinking about getting CentOS 6.x (when it comes out) to learn rhel 6.x. Some features, like KVM, only work on 64-bit. I am seeing gx620s on craigslist for about $100.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell 1435 with an AMD Opteron 64 bit chip, however when I install RHEL 5.5 I only get a 32 bit OS. The disk I'm using to install RH is the 64 bit copy, it says "For 64-bit AMD64 and INTEL 64" on the front of the disk. After the install I do a "uname -m" and it displays "i686" which indicates a 32 bit OS.1. Why does this happen?2. Is there a CL option that will allow me to force an install of the 64 bit os?I'm confused.I've installed literally over 100 systems and this never happened.
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust looking for some general guidance with regard to installing over the native Windows 7 (x64) installation on my new Alienware M11x with RHEL 5. I have considered other Linux OS's such as Ubuntu Desktop, Fedora, and Open SuSe. However, I am of the opinion that RHEL will - from the jump - most fluidly integrate with the Intel Core i7 architecture, 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M, and other components. I plan to convert my existing Windows XP installation into a VMWare image and run that as a guest on my Alienware M11x (instead of alternatively running RHEL 5 as a guest). However, I am concerned whether it will be possible for the guest (Windows) OS (or any guest OS for that matter) to recognize/use the Alienware sound/video/LAN/Bluetooth EDR/WWAN/etc. (as the drivers were designed for Windows 7).

View 1 Replies View RelatedA client has sent me an RHEL 5.1 box for me to do some work on, but it's not registered with Red Hat. This is causing me problems, because it's a minimal installation, and I need some more dev software.My immediate reaction was to install various bits (emacs, and so on) from my Centos 5(.0) DVD.The base RHEL system only had one (disabled) repo entry,so I added a yum DVD repo entry in yum.conf.d.
This looked good to start with, but it doesn't work. Something in RHEL's pirut/yum/rpm/whatever is getting confused, and can't work out what is/isn't installed.
Question - how do you maintain an unregistered RHEL box? Has RH done something to make life difficult? Is my problem simply that I'm using a Centos 5.0 DVD, instead of Centos 5.1? Am I stuck with downloading lots of rpms from the net and doing everything manually? I really don't want to do that.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a database server running RHEL 5.1 32 bit that suffered some catastrophic failures about 6 months ago. We were able to patch it back together and keep it running, but now the manufacturing site it supports is going to shut down for two weeks and I would like to replace it permenantly. Does anyone have any guidance for that sort of thing? I'd like to have the new server up and running before hand, basically changing the hostname/ip and restoring the databases only on conversion day. I've done this in the past with HP UX - Red Hat conversions, but this is my first red hat to red hat move. Any advice or shortcuts?I forgot to add the other wrinkle. The new server will be running 64bit linux.

Also, if any one can point to exact process to connect to wireless Lan using fedora12.
This card has been the bane of my existence for a while. In the old days I could get it to work with Fedora using a generic video driver. A friend recommended OpenSuse because of my love for KDE.
The good news is that install went greeeeat. But after that, I once again got a black screen with a line randomly done it. Is there a way to change? I tried changing those resolution options but it didn't work. I have the Windoze driver from Dell's site. Its Dell Inspiron 5160.
My Dell Vostro 1520's Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card must not have been set-up correctly, as the Network Manager won't even let me select the wireless tab. Please just explain to me, step by step, what exactly I must do to make it work! Additionally, I can't figure out how to disable my Touchpad's Tap to Click funtionality, which must be done if I'm to effectively use my current KDE installation of openSUSE

View 3 Replies View RelatedEnvironment:RHEL 5.2 and 5.4 AP x86_64, 2 drives (sda, sdb), installing without optional features like clustering and virtualization. I have tried this for a couple of days now and just can't get it to work. My goal is to take the RHEL 5.2 DVD and RHEL 5.4 DVD and install them on separate drives of the same machine. I want the grub menu to give me a choice. I prefer to understand the steps and choices offered me by the install dialog to do this rather than fiddle with grub.conf. If that is not possible, I will write up the bug.
So far, I just get the the error 13 when trying to start the grub added second OS. I have read elsewhere that "Anaconda frequently recognizes the other operating system and sets up grub so you can boot from either operating system". That would be nice. The install dialog lets me choose a drive to install to. I have figured out that I need to check "review and modify partitioning layout" to enter the advanced grub choices. Do I have it install a boot loader for the 1st OS? Trying to add the 1st OS during the second OS install creates a grub conf with no kernel line in the added boot stanza.
I am new to RHEL. I am trying to get into VNC viewer but i am unable to do so.
I have 2 issues.
1. How do i see other desktops using vnc from RHEL.
2. How do i access RHEL using vnc from other desktops.
For the 2nd point i have done the steps what ever i could find i.e,
- Putting a passwd for the vnc server
-addding ports from 5900-5904
-editing the xorg.conf file
-restarting the machine.
I did get a successful connection from a windows machine into the RHEL server but then the server hangs and keyboard does not work so i have to restart it.
