| twb` | OK, so assuming unionfs isn't around as a pre-built rpm, how can I make an rpm for it? That is, the CentOS analogue of module-assistant or make-kpkg on Debian. |
| Supaplex | hunt for a srpm? |
| jmg | hey all back again :( |
| twb` | Supaplex: there isn't one, that's the whole point |
| Supaplex | but you don't want to make your own srpm either, right? |
| jmg | more problems with pygrub, this is so frustrating |
| Rastafyah | can someone tell me why Centos is not letting me to install OpenVZ with smp kernel support? |
| twb` | Supaplex: all I really care about is being able to make unionfs mounts on a CentOS server |
| Supaplex | well, you can do it by hand. ftp://ftp.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/pub/unionfs/ |
| twb` | Yes, but if someone asked me the same question about Debian, I'd say "noooo, use the proper framework". There surely must be some framework to turn kernel modules into RPMs. |
| jmg | where can i find the xenU kernel images/ramdisks for centos 5? domU i should say |
| Supaplex | twb`: well, centos isn't debian. you're free to make your own srpm for it. maybe debian's just better ;) haha. |
| twb` | So you guys don't make srpms or rpms yourselves? |
| `LonlyBoy | Ok, this is going to sound dumb and basic, but why does centos keep starting into an Xtrm window and now the full login. |
| jmg | i wouldnt do anything that could remotely benefit those deadrat scum |
| twb` | jmg: and yet you use their code? |
| jmg | twb`: not by choice |
| twb` | Indeed, I'm in that boat Which is to say, I wish to blazes these servers were running something that complied to ANY policy documents |
| Chipdancer | jmg: did you find your answer regarding domU images? |
| jmg | Chipdancer: yes, in the end i created my own ramdisk initrd i should say this whole experience has been quite chilling |
| Chipdancer | jmg: is that usually necessary for xenU under CentOS? |
| jmg | i think i will add an alternative install method to the wiki |
| Chipdancer | (I'm in the middle of trying to create my first donU host) s/n/m/ |
| jmg | Chipdancer: i dont know, since I never got it to work using the reference instructions |
| Chipdancer | me neither |
| jmg | virt-install seems to me to be the most useless hunk of junk ever |
| Chipdancer | it breaks part way through too, from what I recall last week |
| jmg | heres what i did to get a real xenU initrd: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5xenU.img 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5xen --with=xenblk --omit-lvm-modules --omit-raid-modules --with=xennet -f |
| Chipdancer | quick too have you managed to begin an install yet? |
| sime | is there a packages.debian.org for centos? |
| jmg | im using jailtime images no need/want to run install |
