I have seen this on a number of systems under CentOS 5.3. I'm not sure what's causing the problem, but it appears to be a driver in the kernel with 5.3 that's required in the initrd for the kernel but isn't being included by mkinitrd or anaconda. I haven't seen this issue with 5.2 systems updated to 5.3--just raw 5.3 installs--which leads me to believe it's an issue with anaconda as opposed to the kernel or mkinitrd. So, install 5.2, update to 5.3 and you should be good to go. I would file a bugzilla about this. Be specific. Include the computer model (or motherboard make/model), disk controller and disk types, video card, everything. The more information they have, the better chance they have of fixing it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ricks at nerd.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Cuteness can be overcome through sufficient bastardry - - --Mark 'Kamikaze' Hughes - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From brkittycat at verizon.net Mon Jun 1 20:24:38 2009 From: brkittycat at verizon.net (Brenda Radford) Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2009 16:24:38 -0400 Subject: Kernel panic installing RHEL 5.3 In-Reply-To: <4A241AD6.9080308@nerd.com> References: <7E65E8A48878402D8C9ABC0221EC2B35@brendace5b4803> <4A241AD6.9080308@nerd.com> Message-ID: <7885DB33F093449B9C4CDBBC63BF7674@brendace5b4803> -----Original Message----- From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Rick Stevens Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 2:16 PM To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux Subject: Re: Kernel panic installing RHEL 5.3 Brenda Radford wrote: > My install of RHEL 5.3 is giving me a Kernel panic message.

Absolutely. File the bugzilla. There can be some rather nasty interactions between the X driver for the display and the kernel. A text install is much "easier" on the machine. After your text installation (and if you're feeling adventuresome), you can install the X stuff and see if the problem pops up again. My guess is that it won't and you've found a problem between the X driver, installer kernel and anaconda. This same thing was a big problem early in the Fedora 11 development cycle with Intel graphics cards. They've got it more-or-less sorted now, but anything's possible. Note that RHEL 5 is based on Fedora 6. I don't know which Fedora will be snapshotted and used as the guts for RHEL6, but with the teething problems F11 has had, my guess it WON'T be Fedora 11. Consequently, you should let Red Hat know about this as there probably will be a RHEL 5.4 release before RHEL 6.0 and they don't want this sort of gotcha to be perpetuated. > Thanks to you and to Engin for his reply. Glad to try to help, but you seem to have solved it yourself. Well done! And thanks for filing that bugzilla. Not many people would take the time. Be as specific as you can as to the errors you saw and your hardware configuration in the bugzilla. As root, run "lspci", "lsusb" and "dmidecode", save their output to a text file: echo "lspci output:" >/tmp/hwrpt.txt lspci >>/tmp/hwrpt.txt 2>&1 echo "" >>/tmp/hwrpt.txt echo "lsusb output:" >>/tmp/hwrpt.txt lspci >>/tmp/hwrpt.txt 2>&1 echo "" >>/tmp/hwrpt.txt echo "dmidecode output:" >>/tmp/hwrpt.txt dmidecode >>/tmp/hwrpt.txt 2>&1 then attach the /tmp/hwrpt.txt file to your report. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ricks at nerd.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "I understand Windows 2000 has a Y2K problem." - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From Travis.R.Waldher at boeing.com Wed Jun 3 17:36:12 2009 From: Travis.R.Waldher at boeing.com (Waldher, Travis R) Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 10:36:12 -0700 Subject: NFS4 + ACLs Message-ID: Has anyone had this working?

It's not a resolution issue, it's a screensaver.

A lot of monitors do that when the video card drops the VSYNC or HSYNC lines trying to put the monitor to sleep. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ricks at nerd.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Okay, who put a "stop payment" on my reality check? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From xxwdream at 126.com Mon Jun 8 09:33:58 2009 From: xxwdream at 126.com (=?gbk?B?0OzO/c6w?=) Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 17:33:58 +0800 (CST) Subject: Redhat-install-list Digest, Vol 64, Issue 4 In-Reply-To: <20090605160103.C4ADB61BD95@hormel.redhat.com> References: <20090605160103.C4ADB61BD95@hormel.redhat.com> Message-ID: <33485116.765251244453638252.JavaMail.coremail@bj126app19.126.com> how about use text mode install it? ?2009-06-06?00:01:03?redhat-install-list-request at redhat.com???? >Send?Redhat-install-list?mailing?list?submissions?to > redhat-install-list at redhat.com > >To?subscribe?or?unsubscribe?via?the?World?Wide?Web,?visit > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list >or,?via?email,?send?a?message?with?subject?or?body?'help'?to > redhat-install-list-request at redhat.com > >You?can?reach?the?person?managing?the?list?at > redhat-install-list-owner at redhat.com > >When?replying,?please?edit?your?Subject?line?so?it?is?more?specific >than?"Re:?Contents?of?Redhat-install-list?digest..." > > >Today's?Topics: > >???1.?RE:?monitor?goes?to?sleep?while?install?RHEL?5.1 >??????(Dennis?D.?Calhoun) >???2.?Re:?monitor?goes?to?sleep?while?install?RHEL?5.1?(Rick?Stevens) > > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- > >Message:?1 >Date:?Thu,?4?Jun?2009?18:30:28?-0500 >From:?"Dennis?D.?Calhoun"? >Subject:?RE:?monitor?goes?to?sleep?while?install?RHEL?5.1 >To:?"'Getting?started?with?Red?Hat?Linux'" > >Message-ID:?<000c01c9e56c$73bd6330$5b382990$@net> >Content-Type:?text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > >Chris?Henderson?wrote: >>?When?I?try?to?install?RHEL?5.1,?I?get?"input?signal?out?of?range"?and >>?the?monitor?goes?to?sleep.?When?booting?off?the?install?DVD,?I?execute >>?"linux?resolution?1280x1024"?from?the?command?prompt?(without?the >>?quote)?-?but?this?doesn't?help?and?the?monitor?still?goes?to?sleep. > >Rick?Stevens?wrote: >It's?not?a?resolution?issue,?it's?a?screensaver.??You?might?try?adding >"acpi=none"?on?the?boot?command?line?during?the?installation?to?disable >the?power?saving?options. > >Screensaver??In?my?experience,?"input?signal?out?of?range"?usually?indicates >a?mismatch?between?the?monitor's?needed?"refresh?rate"?and?that?being?made >available?by?the?OS?and/or?graphics?card. > >-- >Dennis?D.?Calhoun,?MCSA > > > > > > >------------------------------ > >Message:?2 >Date:?Thu,?04?Jun?2009?16:51:18?-0700 >From:?Rick?Stevens? >Subject:?Re:?monitor?goes?to?sleep?while?install?RHEL?5.1 >To:?Getting?started?with?Red?Hat?Linux > >Message-ID:?<4A285DF6.7020803 at nerd.com> >Content-Type:?text/plain;?charset=ISO-8859-1;?format=flowed > >Dennis?D.?Calhoun?wrote: >>?Chris?Henderson?wrote: >>>?When?I?try?to?install?RHEL?5.1,?I?get?"input?signal?out?of?range"?and >>>?the?monitor?goes?to?sleep.?When?booting?off?the?install?DVD,?I?execute >>>?"linux?resolution?1280x1024"?from?the?command?prompt?(without?the >>>?quote)?-?but?this?doesn't?help?and?the?monitor?still?goes?to?sleep. >>? >>?Rick?Stevens?wrote: >>?It's?not?a?resolution?issue,?it's?a?screensaver.??You?might?try?adding >>?"acpi=none"?on?the?boot?command?line?during?the?installation?to?disable >>?the?power?saving?options. >>? >>?Screensaver??In?my?experience,?"input?signal?out?of?range"?usually?indicates >>?a?mismatch?between?the?monitor's?needed?"refresh?rate"?and?that?being?made >>?available?by?the?OS?and/or?graphics?card. > >Not?always.??A?lot?of?monitors?do?that?when?the?video?card?drops?the >VSYNC?or?HSYNC?lines?trying?to?put?the?monitor?to?sleep. >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >-?Rick?Stevens,?Systems?Engineer??????????????????????ricks at nerd.com?- >-?AIM/Skype:?therps2????????ICQ:?22643734????????????Yahoo:?origrps2?- >-????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????- >-?????????Okay,?who?put?a?"stop?payment"?on?my?reality?check?????????- >---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > >------------------------------ > >_______________________________________________ >Redhat-install-list?mailing?list >Redhat-install-list at redhat.com >https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list > >End?of?Redhat-install-list?Digest,?Vol?64,?Issue?4 >************************************************** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That is, the screen will go black, and the monitor will give you the message that no input XXXX or whatever. It's built into the kernal, so yes, you do have a screensaver during install.

One might add that once you create the VG (volume group), you'll create LVs (logical volumes) inside that volume group. You can think of LVs as the LVM equivalents of partitions. To be honest, I really don't see a huge benefit of using multiple LVs except for backup purposes. When you use LVM, you can always expand the volume group by adding a new PV (physical volume or disk) to the group and then expanding the LV onto that new PV.

I'll let you know when I get this working. The LDAP part is supposedly working, but I was going for a GUI to manage LDAP (command line LDAP is cumbersome) and landed in a GLIB/GTK compiling nightmare. Seems you can't compile GTK without first upgrading GTK, which means compiling GTK, which I can't because.... My desk has a forehead sized dent in it now.

That's valid, although it's fairly far fetched unless you have something very misbehaved. > /usr so that you can't accidentally fill up / installing something. A good point, but again a fairly rare occurance. > /home so that a user can't accidentally fill up /; this is the most likely to need to grow as well. In the days of time-shared, multiuser systems or large servers, yes.

And with Fedora 11 and the new ext4, /boot has to be a single partition on a single disk (or RAID1) and use ext2 or ext3 filesystems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ricks at nerd.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Life: That which happens while you search for the remote control. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From Thomas.vonSteiger at swisscom.com Fri Jun 12 09:32:10 2009 From: Thomas.vonSteiger at swisscom.com (Thomas.vonSteiger at swisscom.com) Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:32:10 +0200 Subject: creating LVM partitions In-Reply-To: <4A313179.5020502@nerd.com> References: <1F C8A0BAFBBD9749BB1F06010D23C8A59508CEC2@sg000035.corproot.net> <4A2E949A.4020806@nerd.com> <4A313179.5020502@nerd.com> Message-ID: <1FC8A0BAFBBD9749BB1F06010D23C8A595889C08@sg000035.corproot.net> -----Original Message----- From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Rick Stevens Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 6:32 PM To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux Subject: Re: creating LVM partitions Waldher, Travis R wrote: >> -----Original Message----- >> From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:redhat-install- >> list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Rick Stevens >> Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 9:58 AM >> To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux >> Subject: Re: creating LVM partitions >> >> Thomas.vonSteiger at swisscom.com wrote: >>> Have a look here: >>> >>> http://www.redhat.com/docs/en- >> US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Installation_Guide/s1- >> diskpartitioning-x86.html >>> After create lvm partition you need to goto lvm and create vg and >> lv's. >> >> One might add that once you create the VG (volume group), you'll >> create LVs (logical volumes) inside that volume group.

I'm not too sure how effective that would be though... If you need an LDAP GUI client, I'd recommend GQ. Webmin also has reasonable LDAP tools, both as a client and to manage the server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ricks at nerd.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - 500: Internal Fortune Cookie Error - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From karlp at ourldsfamily.com Mon Jun 15 19:31:41 2009 From: karlp at ourldsfamily.com (Karl Pearson) Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 13:31:41 -0600 (MDT) Subject: RHEL PDC In-Reply-To: <4A3693E0.6050404@nerd.com> References: <78A4988A8A5D7242AF84EF2C994F792501C5A0CEF8@allsectormail07> <78A4988A8A5D7242AF84EF2C994F792501C5A0CF5A@allsectormail07> <4A3693E0.6050404@nerd.com> Message-ID: <3e462709bbca4ebe7d58ee5632ee750a.squirrel@webmail.ourldsfamily.com> On Mon, June 15, 2009 12:33 pm, Rick Stevens wrote: > Lupo, Kelly wrote: >> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com >>> [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Waldher, >>> Travis R >>> Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 9:59 AM >>> To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux >>> Subject: RE: RHEL PDC >>> >>>> -----Original Message----- >>>> From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:redhat-install- >>>> list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Lupo, Kelly >>>> Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 8:49 PM >>>> To: redhat-install-list at redhat.com >>>> Subject: RHEL PDC >>>> >>>> Are there any Liux-newb-friendly guides for setting up a primary >>>> domain controller using RHEL of any version (or any RH-based distro >>>> - >>>> at this point I'll take what I can get), beginning from the install >>>> of >>>> the OS, and going all the way through to configuring Samba, LDAP, >>>> etc? >>>> There are quite a few just for setting up Samba and such for a >>>> server >>>> with Linux already on it, but I was looking more for something that >>>> began at the beginning; which packages need to be selected for >>>> install and such. >>>> (Hopefully nipping any dependency issues before they crop up...) >>>> >>>> Any advice is greatly appreciated! >>>> >>> I am attempting to get LDAP setup now and went for the GUI approach. >>> >>> I'll let you know when I get this working.

Speaking of Webmin; when was it removed from the fedora repos? Or am I dreaming and it wasn't ever in fedora and I'm just remembering it being in Redhat v8, which was the last 'redhat' I used on my servers?

I don't recall it ever being in Fedora, but I could be wrong there.
