I presume you've checked the md5sum, and know how to set your BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD drive. Make sure your CD is able to boot from other bootable CDs. If you have another version of Linux available, you can write the boot.iso image to a CD (or dd the diskboot.img file to a USB key), and set your BIOS to boot from those. If you have a floppy and can boot from there, try SmartBootManager. Don't know if it can work from FreeDOS.

The program you're looking for is "dhclient". Try (as root), running /sbin/dhclient (no options). If that doesn't get you an address, then either there's a problem with the card driver or there's a problem with the router. Second, it'd be nearly impossible to get through the install and NOT have the interface configured for DHCP unless you really tried. Do you remember if you kept "DHCP" as the method for assigning an address to the network interface? It's the default. If you kept it, then it should have "just worked", so there's some other problem. Third, first you said the NIC was connected to a router, then you said it was connected to a switch. Which is it? there's a big difference! If it's a router, you may need to turn on DHCP services on the router. If it's a switch, then you SHOULD be able to get an IP address from the cable modem/ISP, but you can only get one at a time, so if there's another machine already connected to the Internet via the cable modem, you'll need to unplug it from the network, and probably cycle the power on the cable modem, because it will have "tied" itself to the other computer's MAC address. And then you'll need to go out and buy a router if you want both machines to be able to have Internet access at the same time (unless you pay your IP for multiple IP addresses, in which case it should all work with just the switch ... I think. ;-) -g Jeff Blossom wrote: > I checked the services from the gui desktop and no DHCP service > listed.

In most cases, no, the x86_64 versino supersedes. There do appear to be a few that are "doubled up" out of the box, and lots of 3rd party software still requires the 32-bit versions, so most likely that's how you ended up with that particular example. -g From deepak at uniquegroup.com Wed Apr 5 09:04:47 2006 From: deepak at uniquegroup.com (Deepak) Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2006 13:04:47 +0400 Subject: [rhn-users] Redhat Cluster with DRBD Message-ID: <200604050913.k359DbpN020713@mx3.redhat.com> Hi, I am trying to configure Redhat Cluster (v3) with RHEL3 with 2 identical servers.

To my great surprise I've discovered that my threads are being interrupted by SIGRT_1 signals. (this doesn't happen on Solaris) for example I block all signals via sigset_t blockmask; sigfillset( &blockmask ); pthread_sigmask(SIG_BLOCK,&blockmask,NULL); This doesn't seem to block the SIGRT_1 signals Can anyone tell me 1. What are these SIGRT_1 for? I've have heard these are used to signal thread exits, but all my threads are detached and persistent. 2. How do I block them, or should I? 3. If I must live with them does this mean I must programmatically reschedule any system calls that might be interrupted?

The disk controller driver is fine because the SMP kernel works with hard slices just not with LVM. Anyone seen this before?

If you do not need support, consider one of the rebuilds, which are built from RHEL source code - http://linuxmafia.com/faq/RedHat/rhel-forks.html In many cases, you can update an unsupported RHEL system wtih updates from one of the rebuild repositories. Most have set up yum for their own updates. Just be sure to update /etc/redhat-release to that associated with the rebuild. When I've experimented with updates from a rebuild, the only issue I've had is with kernel recompiles; the tools used by Red Hat and the rebuild distros are subtly different.

Message-ID: <1145637086.3990.34.camel@localhost> Folks, Red Hat has in the past said everywhere that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is on a 12 to 18 month release schedule. RHEL 4 was released Feb 2005. That suggests that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 should be available sometime between now and August of this year - and therefore betas should be starting very soon. However, there are a lot of news reports which suggest that the release will be closer to the end of the year. That seems consistent with the proposed schedule for Fedora Core 6 which seems to be floating around, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Core/Schedule - which might be available in September - and Red Hat engineers wouldn't be available for RHEL5 until after the FC6 release. I realize that I won't be able to pry a RHEL beta schedule from a simple note to a mailing list. But I would like to hear an answer to this question: Is Red Hat sticking to the "12 to 18 month release schedule" for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5?

I find that ReiserFS4 is a lot faster than ext3 and would like to use ReiserFS on some of my boxes but I don't want to lose support. My systems all have hardware raid and realitively standard SCSI drives so raid tuning and hdparm will not help. A friend mentioned that ext3 can tuned to give increased performance but I can't seem to find any info on how to do this. The only thing I have ever seen you can do with ext3 is to change the journaling mode. Does anyone know any tweaks to tune ext3.

I have installed HP's Insight Management software (I believe they call it PSPs). The rest of the system is a default installation of RHEL. I started to see the system time to run fast on one server so I investigated to find that when I run the hwclock command it shows the correct time, but when I run the date command it seems to be off by several minutes. I reset the system time but doing a hwclock -s and then waiting about a minute and ran hwclock && date to find that the system time was about 10 seconds faster than the hw clock. I then followed up on the rest of the servers and found that they all had the same problem. I haven't set the system to a ntp server due to they are not connected to the internet.

The problem systems are both AMD Opteron w/ a Tyan motherboard, and Intel Xeon Supermicro boxes. -Erik -----Original Message----- From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Brad Sharpe Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 12:52 PM To: Red Hat Network Users List Subject: RE: [rhn-users] System Time Fast This is happening across 6 brand new servers and I don't think that all of them have a CMOS battery problem.

I have seen sites where 60 Hz is NOT.. I have seen, on two occasions, where the UPS was pumping out 63 and 66 Hz and the systems were gaining time because the hardware was using the 60 Hz as a reference. Hope this helps..

I have installed HP's Insight Management software (I believe they call it PSPs). The rest of the system is a default installation of RHEL. I started to see the system time to run fast on one server so I investigated to find that when I run the hwclock command it shows the correct time, but when I run the date command it seems to be off by several minutes. I reset the system time but doing a hwclock -s and then waiting about a minute and ran hwclock && date to find that the system time was about 10 seconds faster than the hw clock. I then followed up on the rest of the servers and found that they all had the same problem. I haven't set the system to a ntp server due to they are not connected to the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also just saw Fedora OS for free download on their web site. My question is: what is the difference between the Fedora Linux and the RedHat Linux? Pros and Cons of using either one?

If you do not need support, consider one of the rebuilds, which are built from RHEL source code - http://linuxmafia.com/faq/RedHat/rhel-forks.html In many cases, you can update an unsupported RHEL system wtih updates from one of the rebuild repositories. Most have set up yum for their own updates. Just be sure to update /etc/redhat-release to that associated with the rebuild. When I've experimented with updates from a rebuild, the only issue I've had is with kernel recompiles; the tools used by Red Hat and the rebuild distros are subtly different.

FC may also have packages that don't exist at all in RHEL, because they're too new/untested. So in general, stuff is older in RHEL, but less likely to be broken. Note that broken != security holes, although all things being equal, RHEL is less likely to have those, as well. FC also releases once every six months (or thereabouts), whereas RHEL releases come much further apart (in general - and we're talking major releases, not update releases). b) lifespan - each release of RHEL is supported with patches and tech support for 7 years from initial release. Releases of FC are only patched for a year (or until the 2nd subsequent release comes out, which should be ~1 year), though there is a "3rd-party" community effort to maintain the older FC releases. c) support & update mechanism - if you pay for a subscription to RHEL, you can get phone/e-mail tech support from RedHat, just like you do for Windows/Solaris/whatever. And you get the RedHat Network (RHN), which essentially means you use up2date to patch your system(s), and there is a guaranteed service level (at least in theory). There is no official support for FC (though you can probably find companies that are willing to sell it to you), and no up2date/RHN - the "standard" update mechanism for FC is yum, which is what most people use, and the updates are downloaded from public mirrors, for which there is no guaranteed service level (though in practice, I find yum and up2date perform about the same; in the past, in fact, yum was usually less problem-prone, though in the last year+ up2date/RHN has been pretty reliable). -g From brian.t.brunner at gai-tronics.com Mon Apr 24 11:43:01 2006 From: brian.t.brunner at gai-tronics.com (Brian T.

I would appreciate any comments that would illuminate this situation. I'll provide some background in a moment, but the core of it was this: My colleague was having trouble with the system and tried to reboot it. It failed to complete the reboot and he took it into diagnostic mode. When I entered, he left diagnostic mode and the system restarted. The boot-loader appeared, and offered four choices: three linux kernels and DOS. On a whim, I chose "DOS". The system immediately reformatted the hard disk and reinstalled Red Hat Linux (thereby loosing important data). The spooky thing is that the installation disks were not in the CD drive, and this did not look at all like a regular installation (it never asked for permission to continue, for one). Another odd thing is that Windows had never been installed on this system, so I have no idea of where the "DOS" option came from in the boot loader. If anyone has any idea why the OS was reinstalled, or why there was a "DOS" option on the boot-loader, I would love to know. Background: The computer initially hung when we tried to install a couple of packages from the installation disk. All existing processes continued, but it was unable to install the packages and we were unable to shut down the installation windows. When we tried to reboot, it would not, and we entered into the above situation. Any thoughts are appreciated, Thanks, adam From gforte at leopard.us.udel.edu Wed Apr 26 02:24:04 2006 From: gforte at leopard.us.udel.edu (Greg Forte) Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 22:24:04 -0400 Subject: [rhn-users] unintentional reinstallation of RedHat OS In-Reply-To: <444ECF96.5020807@pitt.edu> References: <444ECF96.5020807@pitt.edu> Message-ID: <444ED9C4.4020807@leopard.us.udel.edu> Wow, that sounds like an awesome idea - a poorly labeled boot menu option that reformats your hard drive! ;-) My guess would be that the option labeled "DOS" booted to a utility partition on the hard drive that was placed there by an OEM or a system admin. That partition had the RedHat ISO images on it along with a jumpstart configuration (for unattended installation). This would be a convenient and sensible way for an OEM to ship disks, if for some reason they didn't want to perform the install at the factory but still wanted to make it brainless for the end-user. Why the installer would leave that cryptic "DOS" option in the boot menu is beyond me, though; aside from the pitfall you so neatly discovered, it seems like a waste of disk space ... though I suppose if you wanted to be able to re-image the system then you might want to keep that partition around. "DOS" is a generic label used by the redhat installer when installig grub (The boot loader) for "other partitons that I see something installed on but am not sure what it is". So I'm guessing that's why it was called that - whoever designed the jumpstart config didn't think to make it either ignore that partition completely or name it something more sensible (like "CAUTION - only choose this option if you want your hard drive wiped!") cheers -g Adam Retchless wrote: > Hello, > > Today, I had a very strange (even spooky) experience with Red Hat > Enterprise Linux, Version 3.

Have you removed the msdos filesystem label and replaced with something like gpt? If not, msdos still be bound to 2TB. so run 'parted' and you can use 'mklabel gpt' then you can 'mkpart' and chop up the drive. ferb! On Tue, 25 Apr 2006, Doctor Khumalo wrote: > Uhm, yeah.

I would appreciate any comments that would illuminate this situation. I'll provide some background in a moment, but the core of it was this: My colleague was having trouble with the system and tried to reboot it. It failed to complete the reboot and he took it into diagnostic mode. When I entered, he left diagnostic mode and the system restarted. The boot-loader appeared, and offered four choices: three linux kernels and DOS. On a whim, I chose "DOS". The system immediately reformatted the hard disk and reinstalled Red Hat Linux (thereby loosing important data). The spooky thing is that the installation disks were not in the CD drive, and this did not look at all like a regular installation (it never asked for permission to continue, for one). Another odd thing is that Windows had never been installed on this system, so I have no idea of where the "DOS" option came from in the boot loader. If anyone has any idea why the OS was reinstalled, or why there was a "DOS" option on the boot-loader, I would love to know. Background: The computer initially hung when we tried to install a couple of packages from the installation disk. All existing processes continued, but it was unable to install the packages and we were unable to shut down the installation windows. When we tried to reboot, it would not, and we entered into the above situation. Any thoughts are appreciated, Thanks, adam ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 22:24:04 -0400 From: Greg Forte Subject: Re: [rhn-users] unintentional reinstallation of RedHat OS To: Red Hat Network Users List Message-ID: <444ED9C4.4020807 at leopard.us.udel.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Wow, that sounds like an awesome idea - a poorly labeled boot menu option that reformats your hard drive! ;-) My guess would be that the option labeled "DOS" booted to a utility partition on the hard drive that was placed there by an OEM or a system admin. That partition had the RedHat ISO images on it along with a jumpstart configuration (for unattended installation). This would be a convenient and sensible way for an OEM to ship disks, if for some reason they didn't want to perform the install at the factory but still wanted to make it brainless for the end-user. Why the installer would leave that cryptic "DOS" option in the boot menu is beyond me, though; aside from the pitfall you so neatly discovered, it seems like a waste of disk space ... though I suppose if you wanted to be able to re-image the system then you might want to keep that partition around. "DOS" is a generic label used by the redhat installer when installig grub (The boot loader) for "other partitons that I see something installed on but am not sure what it is". So I'm guessing that's why it was called that - whoever designed the jumpstart config didn't think to make it either ignore that partition completely or name it something more sensible (like "CAUTION - only choose this option if you want your hard drive wiped!") cheers -g Adam Retchless wrote: > Hello, > > Today, I had a very strange (even spooky) experience with Red Hat > Enterprise Linux, Version 3.
