Updated to Centos 4.6 on 4/2008 Date: 2008/03/31 My notes on the upgrade. Update contain new kernel release: from 2.6.9-67.0.1 to 2.6.9-67.0.7. 0. Intro Updating the kernel require a bits of extra work due to: 1. We developed our own modules (pmac.o) -> recompile & reinstall pmac.ko for new kernel. 2. Install NVIDIA drivers for twinview support -> installation required after kernel upgrade. 1. Yum update. # yum update 2. Modify /etc/inittab to not boot into X. (runlevel 3 instead of 5) Disable loading of pmac.ko module in /etc/rc.d/rc.local Modify /boot/grub/menu.lst to remove entry for smp kernel and check default=0 Reboot. (must kill X to install graphic driver). Post-update fixes: Set scrollbars to false in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. 3. re-Install the NVIDIA driver (Geforce FX5600) (just reinstall the the lasted downloaded version). version NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run, and stored it in /home/tcs3/public_html/tcs3/computers/linux/0801_nvidia # cd /home/tcs3/public_html/tcs3/computers/linux/0801_nvidia # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run Restore /etc/inittab to boot into X. 4. TCS New kernel require new .ko module -> reinstall tcs3 or module in /home/to/current/. Restore /etc/rc.d/rc.local to load pmac.ko. Recompile and test tcs3 main, as tcs3: > cd to last version > make clean > make # make main-install # make client-install
