Comment on Xen kernel-panic by Rohan

Rohan — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:32:29 +0000

I am also getting Kernel Panic error whenever I try to start a new domU. I am pretty sure it has something to do with my hard disk parameters. Could you tell me in the Xen domU how do you decide on the ‘disk’ and ‘root ‘ parameters. Currently i am not able to get a clear picture from fdisk -l command which is like this:

[root@vmtest xen]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 8 64228+ de Dell Utility
/dev/sda2 * 9 270 2104515 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda3 271 283 104422+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 284 9726 75850897+ 8e Linux LVM

I will reallly appreciate your input. I am new to all this.

Thanks
Rohan

Just to update. I tried this method with the modifications suggested by Etenil for Mediawiki 1.15.1 and it works fine for me. Thanks Raskas!

I have MediWiki 1.13.3 running. Authentication via remote user only works partially: On the first time I call a wiki-page, I am shown the login page. If I go to another page or simply hit refresh, I am logged in and everything is fine.
Does anybody have a clue how to solve this problem? Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards, Daniel

Comment on MediaWiki remote user authentication by Robert Kuszinger

Hello!

I’m trying to set up alternative authentication to a WIKI. I’d like to ask if your solution could work with mediawiki 1.14.
I’ve set up the pwauth recipe, login is successful, however, user won’t be in a logged in state…

If your recipe above works with 1.14 as far as you know, I’d modify it to use pwauth (or whatever) for authentication…

thanks for any help.

Comment on Managing user passwords with Puppet on CentOs by lance

If you install src rpm instead (rpm -i ruby-shadow*.src.rpm), then edit the spec file, add the following line:

%define el4 1

redhat4 doesn’t have a ruby(abi). Defining el4 prevented that from being a requirement.
