Server :: Installing RHEL 5.x On Alienware - Dell - M11x
Aug 12, 2010
Just 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).

I booted to the live distro of FC13 on my flash drive. The wireless card isnt present. Searching the internet i can only find a few posts lamenting the incompatibility.
How do i check whether the hardware is supported? The card is a DW1520 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card

I am loving the opensource driver as I don't have to switch to "discrete" mode in BIOS to get 3D support as I would have to with Ubuntu. (M11x has switchable graphics which is not supported by the nvidia proprietary driver for linux) I need some help with the audio though. In case of Ubuntu 10.04 I had to download and install realtek HD drivers for linux from
[url]
I cannot do the same for Fedora as I get compile errors.
Quote:
This is after I run the install script as specified in the "Readme".
Here is my system config .
It works. I just realized that sound is heard when the laptop is connected to an external speaker. Internal speakers still don't work. I don't know how to fix this (probably fix the switches somewhere another mixer gui or via command line) and I don't really care as the internal speakers aren't that great and I almost never use them.

I 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:
linux noprobe
linux apci blah blah off
linux all generic blah blah blah

I am using RHEL 5.4 Here is my requirement.
- The ultimate aim is to install LAMP using yum.
- The Apache Spec (httpd.spec) is customized, like the location of the apache installation is /usr/local/apache2 rather than /usr. So I need to compile apache source code using this customized apache spec.
- I need to then install this apache using YUM.
So my understanding is I need to compile apache , then add into yum repository or something like that, so that yum can be used to install apache.

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 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.

I 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.

is possible to edited the default RHEL CD to have it automatically install RHEL based off of a kickstart file that I will store locally on the CD. My plan would be to put a cd in a server and have the OS automatically being installed.

I 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.

trying to install Veritas Storage Foundation HA on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.(64 bit)OS was fresh installed (haven't updated anything yet). I tried to start the VSF installer as stated in the documentations. Change directory to cdrom and where the files are located and typed ". ./installer" It is supposed to launch the installer but instead, the terminal window closed itself. I think I'm missing something here. Don't think it's the media problem. Either I run it from window by double-clicking or run from terminal window, it closes and nothing happens.

I am trying to install gcc from source, but wish to install to an alternative location, ie /opt/gcc/4.4.4.
I have done so but ran into the problem that the system libs in /usr/lib64 were being located before my libs in /opt/gcc/4.4.4/lib64.
So, I set --libdir=/usr/lib and reinstalled. The libs link in correctly, but now g++ cant find includes, for instance <complex>. I think I could set CPATH to point to the locations of these includes but that doesn't seem like it should be necessary.
So my question is, what is the correct way to install gcc alongside the system versions while allowing linkage to the right libs and location of the includes? I don't want to use prefixes or suffixes because the intel compiler looks at gcc -v to get clues as to how to compile stuff.
It should be noted that I have no internet connectivity on this machine, so building from source is my only option.
