Before to describe my problem I want to say that I searched a lot on the internet and I think I tried all the solutions provided by other users to similar problems.
I've got an IBM xSeries 346 server running CentOS 5.5 with all updates applied with yum.
The video card is an ATI Radeon (lspci says: 01:06.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]).
Everything worked fine until a bad day where there was an environmental power failure and the server crashed.
I turned it on, I manually check the file system, some files went lost and after the reboot the X server didn't start.
After the first boot I had problem with /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, sbin/multipath.static and /dev/cpu/microcode, I solved them and now the message it shows is:
"Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface) It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?"
I choose OK and it appears an empty log, if I go in /var/log/gdm and I do an ls -al:
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 28 04:44 :0.log.4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 28 04:44 :0.log.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 29 04:52 :0.log.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 29 04:52 :0.log.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 29 04:52 :0.log
So a lot of empty log files.
I press enter on the OK that appears at the bottom of the screen and it says: Would you like to try to configure the X server?
I choose Yes, I enter the root password and appears the following messages:
Couldn't start X server on card 0
Couldn't start X server with old config, trying with a fresh configuration
Then another messages:
Trying to restart the X server, I press enter on OK and it loops the initial message ("Failed to start the X server...)

I'm using Centos 5.3 with xen to virtualize some virtual machines (mostly windows 2003).
It works perfectly fine excepted one thing :
Each monday morning, the server is crashed with nothing noticeable in the logs that help.
Since it allways happen between sunday 22h00 and monday 05h00, I suspect a crash when running some cron tasks...
The server works fine. I look at cron.weekly and deactivated makewhatis.com which is the only task apart 0anacron...
But it makes no difference.
I really don't see what can cause such a regular failure... As I am more specialist on Debian, there may be some specific tasks running every week on centos I didn't noticed.

I had a power failure the other day and my server shutdown abruptly. After bringing the server up I noticed that the /var partition came up as read only. I was not able to edit the crontab, not able to write to files within /var/log/ and do other write operations within /var.
I did a mount and it showed that /var was mounted read and write but when trying to run certain operations the system was still saying that it was read only.

I'm configuring a new Centos 5.5 server in replacement of an old W2K server.The topology of our network is simple : one file/dhcp/dns relay server and workstations (PC's and some MAC's) plus network printers and scanners.All the workstations have dynamic IP addresses (easier because a lot of 'dynamic' changes : new persons with their own laptop, ...) and the server and printers/scanners have fixed IP addresses.I edited the dhcpd.conf (see here underneath), I have the file dhcpd.leases but it doesn't start !

I just opened an (unmanaged) VPS account and and have been encountering nothing but problems with trying to get Apache up and running (its something I've done many times before).Basically the inital error was with LDAP not having enough space, so I disabled the related extensions and Apache still would not run. Looking at the log, it contains: (28)No space left on device: Unable to create scoreboard (anonymous shared memory failure)

I have Ubuntu 9.10 on my netbook, and the preinstalled games work fine. But every game I've tried to install, SuperTux, SuperTuxKart, and Freedoom, specifically, crashes. I haven't tried any other ones because of this. They will start, and then I'll get to the main menu and choose to start a new game, and then the game just closes.
All the drivers are updated as of a couple weeks ago. I read something about disabling screen savers and desktop effects, but I already have all that done. Somebody also mentioning installing caffeine, but apparently, that just automatically does the same thing.

I'm running CentOS 5.4. I rebooted the machine for the first time in at least a month or so. I reboot into runlevel 3 (no X11). Things seem fine. But when I login and try to start X with "startx", the screen goes blank. X doesn't appear to start. In fact, the only thing I can do is reboot the machine and start over. This is really annoying.

I took the hard drive from my server and put it into another machine to install centos with, as the server does not have a working CD drive. So now the situation is that x refuses to start when centos boots. I get a message saying:

I performed a system update yesterday to CentOS version 5.4. Now I cannot get vmware to start. I get the error "VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl." I tried running vmware-config but that did not resolve the issue. I saw the bug related to 2.0.x (after the update), but that does not seem to apply to 1.0.9.

I am still pretty green when it comes to centos and linux in general. I have installed rpm and source packages before with little trouble by following the guides available on the support site and wiki for centos.I am running centos 5.4 on a virtual server.I followed the guide for installing vpopmail at URL...mailSince this is a VPS server I cannot install gnome and is why I opted for vpopmail + qmail.
The first issue I have is: I don't know how to tell qmail to start up automatically because after the install of qmail from source as the guide told me to, it did not place a startup files in the /etc/init.d, and I can't find any useful documentation on how to trouble shoot that.I try to use "chkconfig qmail on" and "chkconfig --level 345 qmail on" but both give me the error "error reading information on service qmail: No such file or directory"The version of qmail I am using is the latest 1.0.3, and the version of vpopmail is 5.5.
Vpopmail seems to be working just fine, as is the mysqlauth mod. I check the vpopmail database in mysql, and all the values I used for the domain and user show up there.The settings also show in the qmail configuration directory files for the domain.My first clue as to something being wrong was that when I send an email to the address I setup, I get nothing delivered on the server, but I also do not get any bounce backs or errors to tell me the details of what went wrong.At first I figured it was my firewall, so I disabled iptables.That did not fix it.I also tried disabling SElinux. That also made no difference.

Hostname won't start on boot
I have had a problem where I had to edit in port 53 for the iptables which i think was strange.
Anyways.. On boot I am getting a error where my hostname won't start correctly which causes 110 and 143 to not work correctly.
After i boot I have to run
Then my mail seems to work..
GOAL - to get this to work on boot
