Hardware :: Collecting Information For Use In A Kernel Compile?

May 14, 2010

I would like to gather as much system information I can for my box so I can get a better understanding of what needs to be enabled in the kernel. Other than the lspci, lshw output, and knowledge of certain devices connected, does anyone have any other tips they could present me with? Unfortunately, I don't have access to the machine in interests manuals, and I know next to nothing about hardware.

Fedora :: Script For Collecting Metadata On Modified Files

Nov 30, 2010

I have a simple scripting question. I am trying to list all files that have been modified in the last day and then collect metadata on those files. This command is going to be run on a number of nodes via ssh so I would like to append the hostname to start of each line (the below example has blade1 as the hostname). As you can see the loop is splitting the ls command out onto a separate line for each value. What I need to do is keep the `ls -ld` output all on one line and have the hostname echoed in front of each line.

for i in `find /var -mtime -1 | xargs ls -ld`; do echo `hostname` $i; done
blade1 drwxr-xr-x.
blade1 2
blade1 user
blade1 group
blade1 4096
blade1 Nov
blade1 30
blade1 08:55
blade1 /var/cache/gdm/user

Ubuntu Security :: Faster Aircrack Packet Collecting?

Jul 8, 2010

I've just started learning how to use kismet and aircrack. I'm sniffing my own network to see how vulnerable it is. I'm using aireplay to inject packets, but the number of packets per second in airodump is only about 30 to 50. Is there something that can speed this up a little more? Shouldn't it be able to go faster than this? It's going to take forever to collect at least 300,000 IVs for a 64 WEP key let alone the amount needed for 128 WEP.

wireless card intel iwl3945. Everything works great except for the extremely slow speed of gathering IVs. Also, how can I monitor my network? If someone was using aircrack on me and sending packets, how could I observe that? What should I Google?

OpenSUSE Install :: Manually Change Information On Every Kernel Upgrade

Jan 1, 2011

To run my other linux distros on another drive I have been manually entering the kernel and initrid info for each distro on the opensuse yast boot loader. For windows 7 it just runs the mbr on the drive windows 7 is on. However I can not get it to do that on the other linux drive. The problem for me is that on every kernel upgrade I have to manually change the info. I would rather have grub on the sdd linux disk take care of it on the upgrades. The drive that holds the other linux versions is sdd. Opensuse is on sdc.

Debian Configuration :: Compile The 2.6.36.2 Kernel?

Dec 16, 2010

Trying to compile the 2.6.36.2 kernel. Its not the first kernel I've compiled, but I've run into a problem I've not come accross before.

While compiling I get this error.

[Code]....

Looks like the headers sys/eventfd.h and linux/virtio_rng.h haven't been selected in my .config file. I just copied my old config from the last kernel I built. This was a while ago (2.6.30), but I thought I'd give it a go anyway.

what config option they are under or what I can do to get rid of this error?

Apr 3, 2010

I'm looking for a good kernel guide for practical tips on how to compile my kernel for better speed. At the moment I'm using genkernel under gentoo and just taking the default options (with a splash). This compiles for ages and takes a good while to load.The kind of things I'm looking for are advice on:Removing modules from the kernel that are not loaded during normal use.Core components which can (and should) be loaded as non-modules for speed of boot.How to save and load kernel options so they don't have to be repeated every time I want to compile a kernel.

General :: Can't Boot After Compile A New Kernel?

Jan 12, 2011

I installed a fedora with kernel 2.6.15-1 (quite old, isn't it ?) on my vmware workstation and try to compile a new kernel with 2.6.15.2 just for testing. I download the kernel and compile with that:make menuconfig make modules-install install

then I reboot the server but if i choose the new kernel. the system poped up the error msg like : Unable to find device-mapper major/Minor No volume groups found unable to find volume group "VolGroup00"
Unable to access resume devices (/dev/VolGroup00/Logvol01)mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'

yes. I am using LVM to setup the fedora.

i search online and find some possible causes:
1) the .config does not contain support for LVM.
then i choose to enclude the support for LVM

2) need to re-create initrd i use commond initrd --force-lvm-probe to generate the .img file

But both the method do not work. and i notices that the new '2.6.15.2.img' is about 1.5M which is smaller than the current 2.6.15.1 img (1.7M)
