You just have to determine if your need is worth that much money or of Fedora meets your need better. You also need to compare "free" MS updates to the required anti-virus and other stuff you must keep updated on a MS machine. You are correct in saying Red Hat won't update your machine without a subscription. Is your need worth that subscription or are you just wanting to discuss the cost? ciao! leam On Thu, Sep 01, 2005 at 10:29:22AM -0400, Philippe B.

Message-ID: Until yesterday I was able to login to RHN and see a table (list) of my servers and to the left of each server's name were two columns for number of applicable errata and number of affected patches. I could click on either of the numbers and be taken to the list of errata or the list of patches for the affected server. Now I can still see the list of servers. I can still see the # of errata and the # of patches. But in order to get to a list of patches or errata I have to click on the server name, then click on errata then click on packages, then click on upgrade This means that I have to make 3 clicks instead of just 1 and I have to wait for 3 web pages to load instead of just 1. Since I have about 75 servers to manage this makes a pretty big difference. Does anyone else see this as a "breakage" in the new RHN updates? I raised the issue with my RedHat salesperson and he just said that I was (previously) using Mgmt module features for free, and that now if I want the same fucntionality that I had yesterday I have to pay more money.

I can sympathize with RHN inflicted pain ... but I must say for a large account I do find the improvements made in RHN 4.0.0 to be a big net plus. Wading through 500+ activation keys page by page used to consume part of my life as did wading through 400+ users. The addition of those little search boxes made me jump for joy. I still have a couple of complaints that are similar to yours when you try to add group admins or set a default system group for a user. Both still require wading through pages and pages of information. Very slow and a complete waste of time. Actually, setting a default group didn't used to require wading through pages, that is something I think was broken in the process too. > Does anyone else see this as a "breakage" in the new RHN updates? > > I raised the issue with my RedHat salesperson and he just said that I > was (previously) using Mgmt module features for free, and that now if I > want the same fucntionality that I had yesterday I have to pay more money. I still see the same old links in those places but I have the management module, you may have been getting a free ride, I dunno about that. It would surely be better if changes like that were somehow announced though so you aren't taken by surprise over night.

How do you mean, add it to a domain? What domain do you like? The dns-domain? the nfs-domain? or maybe even a M$Windows domain? The dns-domain is relatively easy: just insert it into your dns-server at the right place. Then with `redhat-config-network` change the name of the machine to include your domainname. Optionally edit the hosts file (also trought `redhat-config-network`). You will most likely need this for the next options... Then the nfs-domain: I'm not sure but I think `redhat-config-network` also has an option for that. Or use `redhat-config-nfs`, I'm not sure if that is for the server-side or for the client side. For the M$Windows domain, try `redhat-config-samba` and think about how deep you need to put it into the domain.... > Any help much appreciated?

The problem is that downloads of multimegabyte packages stall. The difficulty is apparently has something to do with my network connection. My Linux machine (a Dell 670 Precision workstation with a Xeon processor) has access to the Internet through my LAN, which is a peer network (Microsoft Windows NETBEUI). The gateway to the Internet is thorough two Zoom modems, one v.92 and one v.90, that are multilined using Windows 2000 Dialup Networking. The configuration of the network is that the machine with the dialup connection to the Internet, which has Windows 2000 SP4, is connected to a 3Com Office Connect hub, which is connected to the Linux machine. Connection sharing from the LAN to the dialup connection is provided by NAT32, which as the name indicates is network address translation software (www.nat32.com). The resulting download capacity is about 100kb (2 56K connections). The arrangement works fine from Windows. I also connect to the Internet from my laptop, which is also connected to the network. I can upload and download email, files, and web traffic from my laptop all day long with no problems. The RedHat Up2Date program connects fine and I can select the packages to download but after about 10 minutes in downloading a multi-mebabyte file, the connection begins to stall and run very slowly until a point where it has almost stopped. The downloads stop completely if I attempt any Internet operation (download email, browse to a website) from the gateway machine or the laptop. If I then shutdown the dialup connection and start over, I can reconnect to the RedHat Network and initiate package updating again. But I can only do about 5 packages at a time, not including any large packages (over 10 mb) without having the downloads stall. So the problem appears to be the Multilinking. I notice that when I disconnect the multilinked dialup connection, one of the modem does not shut down normally. It takes awhile to close. This is why, I think the problem may have somethin to do with multilinking. QUESTION: I there any reason to think that Linux has some problem connecting to the Internet though a multilinked connection under Windows 2000? Is there anything I can do in Linux to avoid the problem I have? Note that my network configuration has nothing to do with establishing a multilinked connection using Linux. The multilinked connection is made by Windows 2000. Linux is simply networked to the Windows 2000 machine. OPTION: My best alternatives are to: 1) establish a WiFi connection to the Internet for my network, which I can ddo. 2) get a broadband connection to the Internet (either DSL or cable), which I can also do but would rather not because I do not want to give my current ISP, who gives me mailing services that I doubt I can get from any broadband company. For the time being, I perfer getting Linux to run in my current network configuration. In order to do this, I need to donwlaod and install about 360 packages! It has been slow going. It has taken me a long time to figure out what the problem appears to be. THE BASIC PROBLEM? Reading some of the messages in this list, it appears that I may be "out of my element" in using a RedHat Enterprise version of Linux. It came on the machine I bought from Dell so I really had no choice. After taking a year to basically get nowhere on updating the operating system on my computer, I will have to pay $175.00 for another year's subscription starting in October?

Is there anything I can do in Linux to avoid the problem I have? > > Yes: an old, old, old problem called the "spiraling death" syndrome first _noticed_ with v32bis/ter modems that had as its symptom a slowdown that would never recover with modem errors or intermittent packet hangs; similar to a spiraling death flow control problem on older still FTP links and still present at last to the extent that under many FTP servers, a degrade in the upper bound packet speed does not recover). the problem resides in many different places and differing protocol implementations, where in a particular layer the protocol recovery for speed degradation does NOT take place, nor does upward-speed pacing accrue. A) Modem itself: noisy TN line or bad protocol firmware mismatch on either side, coupled with a lack of external recovery. SOlution: switch the telephone outlets, or disconnect to one modem temporarily to isolate to see if ONE modem slows down and does NOt recover by itself. Change the MNP parameters systematically to see if a mismatch at the MNP level causes a spiraling death; the predominant theme is match the EXACT parameter set on BOTH sides of EACH link (which is why flipping the modems and trialling each singularly is the first step for __THIS__ type of spiraling death). The main ones are going to be (a) flow control at the HW level on both sides with proper FIFO on the serial links involved (if that is what they are); make sure MAXIMUM buffer and high water marks are enabled; (b) priority of the processes driving the modems as high as possible, especially the kernel thread(s) involved, including using RT on Linux or Real priority on Windows; (c) MNP ATAn parameter matched: start with 64 bytes or smaller, and gradually increase to 256 bytes or larger (small for noisy telephone lines or hiccups). When _BOTH_ modems by themselves stay at maximum pacing (which will get you a half speed link at least during the testing), for at least 4 times what you previously achieved with two spiraling to death, or faster if you wish to push the limits (the problem may not go away and you may not find where it is initially), then step 2: B) Look to the networking links and protocol stacks in between here and there: IP, MTU, packet sliding window sizes, revision (IP4 versus IP6), routers, and so forth. Make sure that the MTU is _small_ enough not to go through fragmenting (MTU smaller than MNP ATAn size to start, and _matched_ to gain maximum speed), the window sizes are _small_ enough no to have lost packets (start with 1 packet in flight and move up), then assure yourself that dynamics are tuned off (speed pacing, black hole discovery, the like); start on the slow and banal side, and then add the flexibility as you go up in speed. Then step 3: C) Check the server for variability in maximum speed rate stability (does it start and stay at one maximum speed fr each successive link, or does the maximum speed hit a _different_ level and stabilize there from download to download, link to link, or channel to channel, or whatever); check for speed recovery when a temporary halt occurs (does that particular instance downshift and NEVER go back up?); track on a systematic basis to pin down where the problem first occurs, deterministically repeats, and what cures it or avoids it. This is more likely to occur on older FTP servers, high volume channels at high volume/speed. high speed servers that are dynamically flexible, but tuned with the wrong timeout/blocksize/windowcount/recovery parameters for slower links. Basically: high priority to lower priority, your side to their side, near to far, static to dynamic, HW to FW to protocol to OS driver to transfer server, completely matched on all parts to completely matched on close-in parts to flexibly configured on each end of the same link part, low/slow/go-at-all to high/fast/pick-up-the-pace Do you feel the overall flow of the "problem solution" paradigm I am painting? Basic wolf fencing. Then, if all this fails to establish a stable high enough plateau: D) Try the weird stuff in right field that is COUNTER intuitive (gee, you would NEVER set it up that ay). You may find a combination that just happens to work where the experts think it will not. E) Look at the setup on your system BIOS for DMA, IRQ and tunings of the like. Turn off hyperthreading if it is on, and the reverse. And so on. F) Update to the latest firmwae or pumpware or driver revs as a last resort, and ONLY if you can reload the old ones AND you are willing to risk more problems on your other comm usages (sometimes the promise of reloading an old driver or firmware rev, or changing an IRQ/DMA/port setting via PnP are problematic; as well as getting too many configurations in the Windows registry, for example). And so forth. G) Consider getting a multilink solution that uses ethernet to a linkbox out over multiple modem links. That way you do not have a Windows protocol stack involved. (Sorry, 'tis true it's true this oft'is a problem); multilink problems often go away when you buy a box whose only promise is to deliver this. H) Update to the latest versions of Windows patches and software, and look at their KB for transmission hang problems. There probably will be a specific download to fix it that somehow does not get included into the Windows next release load ... a very, very old problem of one vendor bombing another. Many "speed up" promises made Sorry this is not necessarily as simple as you might like; but this is the nature of comm problems. I had many years of people telling me that UUCP could not fly at 9600 baud on the old 9600 baud modems with MNP4 ... bunk. I also have people tell me a 100Mbit ethernet card cannot deliver 12.25 MB/sec to a processor under 200 MHz. Also bunk. Bu: systems are seldom tuned or configured properly. >Note that my network configuration has nothing to do with establishing a multilinked connection using Linux.

Again, make sure you have ther latest/greatest firmware, and trial each one independently to see if they flow at full speed. Even if they are the _same_ model, and the _same_ firmware, and the - same_ configuration being reported, they may _BE_ a different art master, chip revision level, etc., and/or one of them could be weaker on the TN line. Oftimes the tech support department of a mfg will not figure out the details, only that "you have to do A to do B"when it really is "you have to do A to install the driver, and then you can do B with two of the same". The only way to be sure is when you totally fail or succeed on one of the many alternative legs of that decision tree. Painful, but there it is ... Same for networking configurations more modern than modems: IPv6 with QoS against a modern multimedia streaming server delivering a conference video feed has the same type of problem set ... just totally different details in the solution set. But: it's the same wolf in different sheep's clothing all over again. Hope the detail pops out simply for you (publish it when it does; it is useful to _me_ to ind where a solution actually _is_ in the problem space; though it may only apply to Zoom v.9x modems, etc. ....) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I assume that you are running the smp kernel (else why would you have it installed?). You should then be able to change the default entry in grub.conf to point to the new kernel.

It might be required before you boot. You can find out what gets done in the kernel install package with the rpm -q --scripts command (I'm running 2.4.21-32.0.1.EL): $ rpm -q --scripts kernel-2.4.21-32.0.1.EL preinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /sbin/modprobe loop 2> /dev/null > /dev/null || : postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): cd /boot [ -x /usr/sbin/module_upgrade ] && /usr/sbin/module_upgrade [ -x /sbin/mkkerneldoth ] && /sbin/mkkerneldoth [ -x /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ] && /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.4.21-32.0.1.EL exit 0 preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /sbin/modprobe loop 2> /dev/null > /dev/null || : [ -x /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ] && /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --rminitrd --rmmoddep --remove 2.4.21-32.0.1.EL exit 0 If the new kernel doesn't boot, you can either boot up the old kernel, remove the new kernel, and re-isntall it or you can try running the postinstall script by hand. If it were me, I would try to uninstall the new kernel and re-install it (but maybe I am just paranoid). Alfred Barry Byrne wrote: > That's what I was thinking.

The only issue could be - you may not get any more phone support (more than the initial period of phone support has likely elapsed). I was "lucky" - I still got phone support for a few days because I had just installed RHES3 (at the beginning of the year). Web support worked after the initial (30day?) period. Most issues I had, however, should be resolved by now (they all dependent on fixing bugs in the initial release of RHES4).

The Broadcom card is not recognized, nor the is Adapatec SAS raid card (BIOS v5.0.0)/IBM ServerRAID 8i controller. I was finally able to get it to install by using the install images of Update 4.1 (which recognizes both the RAID controller and network card) over pxe/http, and rebuilding the installer hdlist files to point to a AS3 update 4 distro. The logical step to take would be to use the working AS4 update 1 installation. However, Oracle has not certified AS 4 and will only provide support for AS3 at this time. AS3 update 5 also does not recognize the broadcom or Adapatec raid controller. Using the AS4.1 boot/install, partitioning the disks with the gui utility and installing packages, the machine boots and the aacraid driver fails. The host panics because it cannot find a root partition: Loading sd_mod.o module attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=7235939, limit 8192 01:00: rw=0, want 7235939, limit 8192 Loading aacraid.o module RedHat/Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1.5[2386]) /lib/aacraid.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO and IRQ parameters Error: /bin/insmod exited abnormally Loading jdb.o module Loading ext3.o module VFS: cannot open root device "VolGrp00/LogVol00" or 00:00 Please append a correct "root= " boot option Kernel panic Booting from the AS 4.1 rescue CD I am able to chroot to the /mnt/sysimage and play with the distro. I ran the up2date utility and downloaded the most recent kernel and package upgrades with the same results. The IBM support CD contains "updated" aacraid and broadcom drivers. The broadcom bcm5700 drivers install correctly, but the aacraid drivers fail with the above results.

If you then use a nice value of N from 1 to 19, you will RESET the priority of system level PIDs 1-19 DOWN in value (slower), a severe performance, reliability and security problem. I entered it as such, but it was downgraded to a documentation fix (normal) instead, which will NOT remove the actual problem. Look it up and reverify that it is so on your version; FC4 AS has this problem. Cheers. -- Roy A.

Otherwise you box will be extremely unstable :-) -----Original Message----- From: Charles Brown [mailto:Charles.Brown at Ticketmaster.com] Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 2:49 PM To: rhn-users at redhat.com Subject: [rhn-users] aacraid driver I have been attempting to install an IBM x366 with Redhat AS3 Update 4 (x86_64) with little to no luck. The Broadcom card is not recognized, nor the is Adapatec SAS raid card (BIOS v5.0.0)/IBM ServerRAID 8i controller. I was finally able to get it to install by using the install images of Update 4.1 (which recognizes both the RAID controller and network card) over pxe/http, and rebuilding the installer hdlist files to point to a AS3 update 4 distro. The logical step to take would be to use the working AS4 update 1 installation. However, Oracle has not certified AS 4 and will only provide support for AS3 at this time. AS3 update 5 also does not recognize the broadcom or Adapatec raid controller. Using the AS4.1 boot/install, partitioning the disks with the gui utility and installing packages, the machine boots and the aacraid driver fails. The host panics because it cannot find a root partition: Loading sd_mod.o module attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=7235939, limit 8192 01:00: rw=0, want 7235939, limit 8192 Loading aacraid.o module RedHat/Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1.5[2386]) /lib/aacraid.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO and IRQ parameters Error: /bin/insmod exited abnormally Loading jdb.o module Loading ext3.o module VFS: cannot open root device "VolGrp00/LogVol00" or 00:00 Please append a correct "root= " boot option Kernel panic Booting from the AS 4.1 rescue CD I am able to chroot to the /mnt/sysimage and play with the distro. I ran the up2date utility and downloaded the most recent kernel and package upgrades with the same results. The IBM support CD contains "updated" aacraid and broadcom drivers. The broadcom bcm5700 drivers install correctly, but the aacraid drivers fail with the above results.

The Broadcom card is not recognized, nor the is Adapatec SAS raid card (BIOS v5.0.0)/IBM ServerRAID 8i controller. I was finally able to get it to install by using the install images of Update 4.1 (which recognizes both the RAID controller and network card) over pxe/http, and rebuilding the installer hdlist files to point to a AS3 update 4 distro. The logical step to take would be to use the working AS4 update 1 installation. However, Oracle has not certified AS 4 and will only provide support for AS3 at this time. AS3 update 5 also does not recognize the broadcom or Adapatec raid controller. Using the AS4.1 boot/install, partitioning the disks with the gui utility and installing packages, the machine boots and the aacraid driver fails. The host panics because it cannot find a root partition: Loading sd_mod.o module attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=7235939, limit 8192 01:00: rw=0, want 7235939, limit 8192 Loading aacraid.o module RedHat/Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1.5[2386]) /lib/aacraid.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO and IRQ parameters Error: /bin/insmod exited abnormally Loading jdb.o module Loading ext3.o module VFS: cannot open root device "VolGrp00/LogVol00" or 00:00 Please append a correct "root= " boot option Kernel panic Booting from the AS 4.1 rescue CD I am able to chroot to the /mnt/sysimage and play with the distro.

My login is not geting me in at this point again (NOT THE FAULT OF RED HAT; I have had security spoofs against me for a long time). Changing the priority of a system service process unintentionally is of the highest performance and security flaw: this bug does that. Read below: a snarf od the web pages, unfortunately with details left out: the snarf does NOT get the full text in the _boxes_, ... thiu smaking it hard to reduplicate OUTDSIDE of the form without going through MORE time to print and capture it. time I do no t have. here is the bug: ---- Alias Priority Product Severity Version Status MODIFIED Component Resolution OS Add CC Hardware Reporter roy a. crabtree Assigned To Ivana Varekova Bug Comments Opened by roy a. crabtree on 2005-09-07 12:43 EST [reply] From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050512 Red Hat/1.0.4-1.4.1 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: Is this a documentation bug, or a fundamental error in loading that ought to be trapped on? rpm -qif did not find renice. Ran on one system a cold full FC4 i386 load, then yummed it all on one box; ran on another an AS i386 update over FC3 latest then yummed it. Both maintained the same bug. Documentation has the expected arguments to "renice(1)". However: renice -n 4 -p 10968 RESET nice value on PID 4, and did NOT find PID 10968, which DID exist; which the manual page _and_ info both allow. renice 4 -p 10968 DID work (finally). however, a bug in the command line scan of renice will harm other processes when running as root; so this is: A) A bug in the load sequence where Redhat should force/note an architectural (i386/i586/i686/ia64) mismatch or better fit, B) An emulation package should be available and default installed/loaded for use (either to run emulations, or allow an error trap) when a binary package _could_ be made to run correctly, and to stop it from doing so when the systems administtrator does not wish to Example: Run a 64 bit application on a 32bit system when no other way; run an EMD64 build on an i686 system as a test sequence for a demo of the i686 system emulation speeds, or an i386 build on an ia64 system for older legacy packages, or trap and warn the users NOT to do so. Or: C) 'renice(1)' documentation is incorrect and needs fixing AND: D) 'renice(1)' will incorrectly modify a process priority as root if run with the arguments as given on themanual page, or even just your own if you mismatch the PID numbers by chance. Unfortunately, low PID numbers tend to be critical systems processes; so I would regard this last case as SEVERE and CRITICAL. Sorry for the complex analysis; I do not have the time to run it down by rebuilding the systems involved. the complexity of the "Easy ISO" sequences among many similar but not the same architecture and load ocnfiguration packages can easily lead to this problem, ESPECIALLY if a set of load CDs is mislabelled or grabbed incorrectly, or the 'yum(1)' repositories are pointed to the wrong channels. Cheers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): latest plus latest patches: coreutils-5.2.1-31.1 over -31. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ran renice to lower a yum download (jerky X11 mouse on a 900 MHz box) 2. Failed with the message no such process 10968 3. Looked up the man and info and saw what I expected 4. Ran all possible combinations; only: renice N -p PID worked correctly: as root renice -n 4 -p 10968 altered the priority or PID 4, and di NOT find PID 10968. Actual Results: PID 4 had its nice value changed incorrectly with the '-n' flag as described. reproducible across multiple systems and reboots 100% Expected Results: PID 10968 should have its nice value shifted to 4. Additional info: I would expect a variant architectural load among similar classes of machines, or a variant update among different packagings (FC3 to FC4 WS cold, FC3 WS to FC4 AS update) would prompt for _any_ failure combination that could occur, and/or make the resulting combination work correctly, or be configurable to be trapped as improper (HW emulations) from the get go. I will note that yum does not catch this type of shift; if not validly allowed, it _should_ because _another_ systems administrator set all this up ... and architectural shifts of this type are as old as OS distributions. The default behavior ought to be, if you load it: 1) It works. 2) It tells you if there is a faster way to do it. 3) it warns you FIRST before doing ANYTHING other than EXACTLY the correct load, and 4) IT TELLS you which way that is, and 5) IT TELLS YOU when and where and how to get it. Why allow other combinations? - Emulations of legacies - Demonstration of emulaiton speeds - The user does not have any other load method available - Demonstration of expertise in tracking down problems for training ysstem administrators (evil grin). Security issue: A system process can be easily impacted in a way that cripples system safeguards if it's priority is altered improperly. And so forth. Draw an error propagation tree and you will see what I mean. A decision table will give you the full set of combinations, and allow RedHat to come up with a policy analysis table. Cheers. PS: I would have been working for you over the last three years if you had hired me. Comment #1 From Tim Waugh on 2005-09-07 13:10 EST [reply] The renice we ship (as run from the command line you gave) comes from util-linux: $ type renice renice is /usr/bin/renice $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/renice util-linux-2.12p-9.9 Comment #2 From Karel Zak on 2005-09-08 03:33 EST [reply] It's a man page problem. There's two man pages for same thing: renice(1p) (=POSIX version) and renice(8). The second one is correct. The problem is fixed in FC5 where is no renice.1p. I vote for same solution in FC4 :-) BTW, see 'man 8 renice': renice priority [[-p] pid ...] [[-g] pgrp ...] [[-u] user ...] Comment #3 From Fedora Updates System on 2005-09-21 12:30 EST [reply] From User-Agent: XML-RPC man-pages-1.67-8 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue.

Now, this has made me arise a series from questions. First (and but the urgent thing for my at this moment), somebody has some ups like this? if he is, like this controlling?

IBM does not include an easy method of accomplishing this task. We finally discovered with many trials that you will need either the IBM ServeRAID 8.0 Support CD not the application cd or follow this link. http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=1201&uid=psg1MIGR-59553&loc= en_US and download the 39r6725.iso IBM ServeRAID 8.00b Support CD than with something like Daemon tools browse the ISO. Located in the ios image under say: F:\diskette\sas directory you will find the "aac-linux-sl9x-sles9.img" you can than rawwrite this .IMG to a floppy or copy to cd so you can use it at install time. One last note when you approach the RedHat install screen. You must use the syntax linux dd acpi=noirq When prompted use the burned cd or floppy image file that contains this driver.

The Broadcom card is not recognized, nor the is Adapatec SAS raid card (BIOS v5.0.0)/IBM ServerRAID 8i controller. I was finally able to get it to install by using the install images of Update 4.1 (which recognizes both the RAID controller and network card) over pxe/http, and rebuilding the installer hdlist files to point to a AS3 update 4 distro. The logical step to take would be to use the working AS4 update 1 installation. However, Oracle has not certified AS 4 and will only provide support for AS3 at this time. AS3 update 5 also does not recognize the broadcom or Adapatec raid controller. Using the AS4.1 boot/install, partitioning the disks with the gui utility and installing packages, the machine boots and the aacraid driver fails. The host panics because it cannot find a root partition: Loading sd_mod.o module attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=7235939, limit 8192 01:00: rw=0, want 7235939, limit 8192 Loading aacraid.o module RedHat/Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1.5[2386]) /lib/aacraid.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO and IRQ parameters Error: /bin/insmod exited abnormally Loading jdb.o module Loading ext3.o module VFS: cannot open root device "VolGrp00/LogVol00" or 00:00 Please append a correct "root= " boot option Kernel panic Booting from the AS 4.1 rescue CD I am able to chroot to the /mnt/sysimage and play with the distro. I ran the up2date utility and downloaded the most recent kernel and package upgrades with the same results. The IBM support CD contains "updated" aacraid and broadcom drivers. The broadcom bcm5700 drivers install correctly, but the aacraid drivers fail with the above results.

I guess it shouldn't be any different to AS. Maybe, in the spec file that you have, try changing the BuildPrereq line to something like: BuildPrereq: db4-devel, expat-devel, findutils, mm-devel So.. change the db3-devel to db4-devel, and see if that helps.

You can find the source code in RHN. When you logon goto - ---> Channels - --------> Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 3 for x86) then click to "Packages" and then type kernel into "Filter by Package" box when the result come click to kernel that you wanna download. You will see download links at the bottom and if you look there carefull you gonna see 2 links. 1st link is binary RPM and 2nd link is source RPM. This property is same for whole packages in RHN, you can download binary and source RPM in same place. - -- Regards Ali Erdin?

Needless to say, there is no runlevel 8 defined in inittab nor is there an rc8.d directory so INIT just halts and I never get to the login screen. I've looked at inittab and all the scripts and I'm unable to determine why this is happening. I can boot into single user mode but as soon as I move to runlevel 1, 2 or 3 then I get this error.

Could you kindly include exactly what setting in the system-auth file you are changing? Also, you need only change the /usr/bin/authconfig, not the /usr/sbin/authconfig file as previously stated. Werner Puschitz has a great article on configuring PAM on Redhat.

I want two things to be implemented in system2.ie 1)implementing pam (pam_time,pam_access) 2)At the same time,it should also work as NIS client. For implementing :step 1)For implementing Pam access and pam time. I need to make changes in /etc/pam.d/system-auth,/etc/security/access.conf,/etc/security/time.conf. After editing these files correctly.(Every thing in these files is correct). Pam is configured now. 2)Now to make this system as NIS client , i need to run authconfig command. After running authconfig command ,what ever changes that i have made in system-auth file is gone.And now i have default system-auth file."WHENEVER WE RUN AUTHCONFIG COMMAND SYSTEM-AUTH FILE IS CHANGED TO DEFAULT""I DONT WANT TIHS TO HAPPEN"WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW.(I know that i can straight away edit yp.conf file to configure NIS client but i don't want to do that.) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plz dont think about the issues like 1)I SHOULD CONFIGURE NIS CLIENT FIRST THEN I SHOULD CONFIGURE PAM. 2)EDITING DONE IN ALL THESE FILE IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT MY system-auth file not to be changed after authconfig command. waiting for ur answer thanks Regards Sudhanshu Chopra >From: Necati Keles >Reply-To: Red Hat Network Users List >To: Red Hat Network Users List >Subject: RE:[rhn-users] Authconfig Problem >Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 23:22:38 -0700 (PDT) > >Hi Sudhanshu > >What is your problem exactly? > >/ usr/sbin/authconfig >/usr/bin/authconfig > >files are exacutable (binary) files.

However, there is no way to distribute the partitions since fdisk seems incapable of understanding partitions greater than 2 TB. Using ReiserFS, you have to create one single file system. So, in my configuration of a 6 TB RAID array (eg. 16 400MB SCSI disks), I can only create ONE file system? That's incredibly inefficient. I can't understand why Red Hat and the ext3 file system would stifle the ability to use huge file system sizes. I might as well create striped RAIDs and forget about any real redundancy. This is the biggest drawback in using Red Hat and its journaling file system. _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?

I added an abnormal word (my name) to /etc/pam.d/system-auth file. Then I executed the authconfig command as you described. My name was not here. OK. But there is another thing you should consider.This is normal behavior of the system authentication mechanism. You cannot change /etc/pam.d/system-auth file abnormally. There are a lot of rules to edit the system-auth file. So, you should decide to edit system-auth file correctly to serve as you want.

What I noticed is that when the system booted it wouldn't see this volume or of course any of the file systems in it. I did some poking around and I found this clause in /etc/rc.d/sysinit.rc: if [ -f /etc/raidtab ]; then # Add raid devices [ -f /proc/mdstat ] || modprobe md >/dev/null 2>&1 if [ -f /proc/mdstat ]; then echo -n $"Starting up RAID devices: " ... # LVM2 initialization, take 2 if [ -c /dev/mapper/control -a -x /sbin/lvm.static ]; then if /sbin/lvm.static vgscan > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then action $"Setting up Logical Volume Management:" /sbin/lvm.static vgscan --mknodes --ignorelockingfailure && /sbin/lvm.static vgchange -a y --ignorelockingfailure fi fi # LVM initialization, take 2 (it could be on top of RAID) if [ -e /proc/lvm -a -x /sbin/vgchange -a -f /etc/lvmtab ]; then action $"Setting up Logical Volume Management:" /sbin/vgscan && /sbin/vgchange -a y fi fi fi Of course with the new mdam RAID arrays in RH ES 4.1 there is no /etc/raidtab, so the first then clause above is never entered. This means that the logical volume on my RAID-1+0 array is never found as the array isn't available when the first check for logical volumes is done in /etc/rc.d/sysinit.rc. This looks like a bug to me. My solution was to force a check for logical volumes after the above clause by adding this to /etc/rc.d/sysinit.rc: if /sbin/lvm.static vgscan > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then action $"Jed's Logical Volume Management setup:" /sbin/lvm.static vgchange -a y --ignorelockingfailure fi That seems to work and I believe it is otherwise harmless, though it might be a bit brute force. I just wondered if anybody else has run into this problem or heard of any other solutions. Incidentally, while working on this problem I noticed that if after a reboot if I executed: #/sbin/lvm.static vgchange -a y --ignorelockingfailure the volume still was not visible or set active. However, if I did #/sbin/lvm.static vgscan first and then #/sbin/lvm.static vgchange -a y --ignorelockingfailure the volume and its file systems show up. That seems to me like a failure in vgchange. I would think it should effectively do a vgscan before setting all the volumes active if it is run on all volumes. Perhaps this doesn't reach the level of a bug, but it was counter intuitive to me. --Jed http://www.nersc.gov/~jed/ --Jed http://www.nersc.gov/~jed/ From nskesarkar at yahoo.com Thu Sep 29 13:01:18 2005 From: nskesarkar at yahoo.com (Nivrutti Kesarkar) Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 06:01:18 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [rhn-users] tg3:eth0:error Message-ID: <20050929130119.78085.qmail@web31701.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Dear All, I have installed Red Hat Linux 8.0 on IBM X-Series 225 server(Type:8647-I2S).When user takes back on TANDBERG SLR 7 tape drive following message continuously flash up on screen because of what user can't do there work on server. message "tg3:eth0:error,poll already scheduled.

Reasons: 1. The Machine is used to run large-memory, fine-grained parallel applications and I want my user(s) to be able to use every bit of memory they can get their hands on... This means 2. that system processes must be swapped out of RAM for user's simulations to be able to use every little bit. I've run into scenarios where an app would use just a few KB under 32GB. 3. Sometimes a job run will go over the 32GB limit for a short period of time. In this case, it is important to have sufficiently ample swap space, on a separate drive no less, so that our users can have some temporary flexibility. I don't want a job that uses 33GB of RAM for maybe 10 minutes SEGFAULTing just because I refused to allow swap. Hope this helps. -Brian Smith On Fri, 2005-09-30 at 13:07 -0400, Juels, Philip wrote: > Hi all, > > > > I?ve got an HP rx4640 (quad-Itanium system) with 40GB RAM.

There should not be an issue with a 2GB limit. That may be a limit stated by RedHat for practical purposes, but depending on your application, a 2GB limit may be unjustified. In general, what are you doing with this machine and how will it affect resource usage with respect to memory? In our application, a larger swap size is justified. In others, the mileage may vary. -Brian On Fri, 2005-09-30 at 14:07 -0400, Philip Juels wrote: > Thanks, Brian, > > Are you using RHAS v3 or v4?

One of our users is unable to change his password , he always gets errors like to short, based on a dictionary word, based on user name, etc. I'm not planning on changing the PAM security on our servers but how can I find out what the restrictions are so I can instruct my user which rules to follow when 'inventing' a password.
