In an older machine (HP Vectra PentiumPro) I had also success with a similar issue by re-seating the CPU(s) and memory cards and removing one of the CPUs (less power consumption). I suspect that both - oxidation/dust and aging of the powersupplies (voltage drift and increased ripple with age) lead to marginal performance and can lead to failure.

That being the case, he'll need to assign a certificate and key to his server and put them into the directories apache references.

IF ( and I have had ) you have a few coreXXXXXXXXXX files then you should get rid of them. IF you have too many unix* files, from rebuilding the kernel several times, then you may remove any of the old ones or any that are not wanted. Also cd into /tmp and do a ls -lt there. If you have more then ?? 10 ?? files you may delete all of them (rm * ) to clean out the /tmp directory and to free up space Then do a reboot.

This is Redhat ES 4.0 with 2.6.9-11.ELsmp x86_64. I've confirmed that the battery is seen by the controller and fully charged. I've read that there should be a substantial performance improvement using "write back". Hardware is a SuperMicro 6014P-82RB with dual 3.8Ghz Xeon + 16Gb RAM, 15Krpm Seagate disks. The MegaRAID BIOS is configured for "write-back" for each logical drive, but dmesg reports using "write through" as seen below...does this mean that write-back is not enabled? Or is this functionality not visible to Linux?

E-mail, web won't respond. Message-ID: <44B56D47.5090500@tartan.ca> Hi, I have a problem that has me stumped and I don't know where to look. I am running OpenExchange and the server has periods where it will not respond to an e-mail client like Thunderbird or Netscape. Also, sometimes our website and webmail will not respond either. And then a bit later, sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes longer, the server will wake up and everything will start working normally. I suspect it has something to do with OpenExchange but I am not positive. OpenExchange uses the following - Redhat Application Server - postfix - cyrus - openldap - tomcat - postgresql - apache When the e-mail goes to sleep postfix will still accept incoming e-mails (I can see them in the user directorys). This makes me think that postfix is not the problem. Maybe it is cyrus (the pop/imap server)? But why doesn't the webmail respond? Maybe it is my server? It is a Dell SC1420 (3 GHz Xeon). OS is RHEL4 ES. I can't find anything in any log files. I also run samba, plone, and recently openvpn. Samba works fine even when the e-mail/imap/http servers appear to go to sleep. I recently added 1 more gig of ram so the server now has 2 gigs. No swap is used since I added the 2nd gig. The cpu is almost always 99.x% idle. Memory used when the server is rebooted starts at around 750 MB and creeps up to about 1.1 GB by the next day. I haven't used ethereal but it's the only thing I can think of trying. Does anyone have any suggestions before I get forced to switch to ms products? Thanks.

Sorry in advance too for such a long mail, but I hope I provided enough details. I have been tasked with setting up automated linux installs for our company. This was an easy task for SuSE (even though I like RH/Fedora/CentOS better, but I gotta do both =p), but I'm running into issues with RHEL4AS. I do not have the luxury of using DHCP and the normal method of kickstart, so I made a custom boot CD with the isolinux directory and TRANS.TBL file on it from the actual RHEL4AS disk (that's it!). I can boot normally and from there give it testing kickstart boot options which are: linux ks=http:///profiles/ks.cfg ip= netmask= gateway= ksdevice=eth0 It then loads the kernel, starts to grab files off the remote server (see logs below), fires up anaconda, detects the video/mouse/etc, and then says: "you are trying to install on a machine which isn't supported by this release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES" The test machine I'm installing on is a Dell PE1650 (tried it with and without the Dell partition).

I'll check for the 'missing kernel' - I have several kernels in the repository, but none just simply named "kernel.rpm (until now, I copied what kernel I normally use over to that name as well)." I'll test this out tomorrow as I'm headed home for the day... You'll notice in the apache logs from the box serving up the media that there are 2 404's for a .img file. It never complains about that during the install - Only later after anaconda does its thing and it loads a few more files(product, netstg2 images + hdlist and comps.xml). I copied the media per the documentation, until I found that RH was looking for more than what was documented, then copied everything. I can verify ownership is correct, I did a recursive chown on em all earlier after loading up more stuff off the CDs and actually the permissions are wide open temporarily so my samba user can access them while testing (yea, yea, I know =P).

Red Hat Linux came out in version numbers like 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.0, 9. No other versions were after that (code was given to the Fedora Core Project who have since released FC1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with 6 just around the corner). Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a commercially supported Red Hat distribution. It has release numbers of 2.0, 3 and 4 (with relevant Update CD's). There is no such thing as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. If you were sold Red Hat Linux 9, then you should have never bought it since it's too old and unsupported by Red Hat. The seller should have told you to either buy RHEL or download Fedora Core 5 for free. For more information on this (and verification if necessary), feel free to visit www.redhat.com and www.fedoranews.org Regards, Michael. PS. if you still wish to use Red Hat Linux 9, then _security_ errata is available through the www.fedoralegacy.org project, but don't expect official support from this group either, as it's community based. ________________________________ From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of hubarlow at sbcglobal.net Sent: Friday, 14 July 2006 5:34 AM To: Red Hat Network Users List Subject: Re: [rhn-users] hi I don't think the Red Hat company supports the "Red Hat Linux" product anymore.

I like to help people with this sort of problem, but you haven't provided any useful information in this message. For example, Why can't you boot the old one? Is there no option on the menu for the old OS, or does it give you an error message if you try to boot it? When you install grub, it gets hard-coded with a partition number that it should read. It will look into this partition, and find the grub.conf file, and read its configuration out of this file. Which grub.conf is currently being used on your system? The old one, or the new one? Probably the new one. If you look inside your old grub.conf file, and compare it against your new grub.conf file, you will probably find that there is no entry for the old OS. Either that, or during your install, you installed *over* your old OS. You'll need to look into this more, and ask more useful questions next try. > -----Original Message----- > From: rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com > [mailto:rhn-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Prodromos Zanis > Sent: Friday, July 14, 2006 7:15 AM > To: rhn-users at redhat.com > Subject: [rhn-users] GRUB boot load > > > Dear RHN users > > I have a PC with two hard disks ( on one disk insalled > windows and on the other disk RedHat 9) with GRUB boot load. > The problem is that I installed FEDORA CORE 5 on an allocated > partitioning and I have overwritten the current boot loader > with the new FEDORA GRUB boot loader.

I tried this this morning with no luck. The kernel.rpm being there makes no difference, it still states "you are trying to install on a machine which isn't supported by this release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES." The only clue I have is that its looking for "updates.img" from the install source after looking at the apache error logs. I'm at a loss :( I can't find that file on the disks or in my repository, and googling it isn't helping a whole lot, apparently I have to create it but I'm unsure of how to. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don't even have ES media, I'm not sure where that's coming from. The repository holds RHEL4AS data laid out per the documentation.

If that works we can rule out anything on that side. One other possible thing I can think of that sometimes gets munged on installation trees is having the wrong .discinfo file in the root of the tree. I believe that needs to be the .discinfo from CD #1.

The servers we are using are 64bit Quad CPU Dells. Here is the issue we are having. When I launch system-config-cluster, I can build an initial cluster configuration. However, no matter what I enter in for Node Name, whenever I relaunch system-config-cluster, it says that I'm not part of a cluster, so I can't get the management pane. I've tried using my IP address, my hostname, and my fully qualified hostname. All have the same symptom. I try to start the service for ccsd, and it hangs for a long time, then succeeds. [root at kpcobs2sdsit init.d]# time ./ccsd start Starting ccsd: [ OK ] real 3m9.990s user 0m36.147s sys 2m32.848s When I try to start cman (I'm going to be using dlm, not gulm), I just get a FAILED message. Nothing is written to /var/log/messages to explain why it failed. Now, here's another thing. In order to get ccsd to start, I had to install the RPM for gulm, because ccsd requires the magma-plugins package, which requires gulm. No problem, it's installed now. Suddenly, whenI go into system-config-cluster, it hangs for several minutes before telling me that I'm not part of a cluster. And now, I cannot configure a new cluster, because all of the drop-down menus (such as the list of available nodes to add to a failover domain) are empty. I've got an entry in Cluster Nodes, but it does not appear in the list under Failover Domains any more. As a test, I uninstalled the magma-plugins package, and the list now displays as it should, but of course, ccsd will not start.

Bandwidth requirements are minimal, excecpt for the updates of coarse... but those can be scheduled for off hours and you wouldn't even need to be in the office(having them just download the updates and wait untill your int the office to actually install them is an option). Also I haven't fully read the service agreement for RHEL, but it may be against the policy for servers to be updated through other methods other than the redhat provided ones...

However, several weeks may go by while testing. In the meantime, all systems are happily downloading patches and keeping them locally. In some cases there may be more than one revision.

Looks like you could even use RHN instead of having to write a bash script... *Package Profile Comparison* - Users can compare two systems directly against each other, or build a package profile to compare against. Results let you see the differences on both machines. from: http://www.redhat.com/rhn/compare/ Looks to be what you want... Along with the System Grouping. However, I've never used these features... since they were just emerging when I left my previous employer so I never got a chance to use them fully.

If you prefer, one option is the Red Hat Network Proxy server redhatmagazine.com/docs/manuals/RHNetwork/proxy/4.0.5/s1-intro-proxy.html Alternatively, you can download to one system, test, and then use Fedora Core 3's yum (for RHEL 4) to pull updates.

I used printtool on RedHat AS 4 to create a print queue.  I am aware the printcap file
cannot be editted to put a input filter.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thankyou.

The deal with the system hanging for 3 minutes trying to start up ccsd is the same problem as when the system hung for 3 minutes trying to start up system-config-cluster. The problem is with the magma-plugins, not suprisingly. I noticed that while the hang was occuring, magma_tool was running. A quick man on magma_tool showed that it allowed you to list, enable, and disable magma-plugins. When I ran magma_tool, it showed magma_gulm.so and magma_sm.so both as being [OK]. Since I'm since I'm using CMAN and not GULM, I just did: magma_tool disable magma_glum.so and now ccsd and cman services both start as they should. Also, now that cman is running, system-config-cluster recognizes that my machine is part of the cluster, and allows the admin pane. The problem with the dropdown panes being empty is totally unrelated to the problem with magma_plugins. I am accessing my server through a remote ssh connection with X forwarding. The forwarding works fine for the windows, but didn't work for the dropdown menus. I switched from using ssh -X to ssh -Y, and the problem went away. Hope this is of help to someone.

Hi Herta, I apologise for the inconvenience you experienced. Red Hat Network's outage policy is documented here: https://rhn.redhat.com/help/outage_policy.pxt It was unfortunate your maintenance window coincided with one of our code releases. I was expecting rhn-outage-list to have been notified, but it appears the announcement email was not sent.

I think you can add the packages to the ignore list but this is tedious iirc.

For starters, try to "su - mysql" and see if you can do something like "cat libz.so.1 > /dev/null". I you can't, then check the permissions on the parent directories of "libz.so.1". Also, as root, try to copy the "libz.so.1.2.2.2" to another name and then try to access the copy as user "mysql". I've seen some funky stuff where I can't access some files that I have untarred because of some Linux security thing (I'm guessing) but I can access the copy. Lastly, make sure that both the binary and library are either both 32-bit or both 64-bit by using the "file" command to verify.

I still have a ton of rpm and hdr files in /var/spool/up2date. Does up2date remove those files once they are installed? Also, my up2date problem seems to have removed several services (i.e., sshd, crond, kudzu, nfs, nfslock, etc.) from the appropriate run levels (rc0.d - rc6.d). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From the man page: "depmod creates a list of module dependencies, by reading each module under /lib/modules/version and determining what symbols it exports, and what symbols it needs. By default this list is written to modules.dep in the same directory." Maybe someone removed your modules.dep? More a guess than an idea...

When extracting the cpio archive rpm, it might fail, rpm will bail out and in this case up2date doesn't handle the condition with all kind of unexpected results. There are many reasons why cpio cannot extract, like extracting a file with the same name as an existing directory (or even used mount-point) or in this case the Inappropriate ioctl for device. In all of these cases rpm does not check in advance, or does not handle the unexpected behaviour leaving you with an inconsistent rpm database (old and new package installed at the same time and inconsistency between files installed and files in rpmdb).
