Thanks, Stephen! I have a CentOS 5.4 32-bit image in testing that Seth has reviewed. It appears to be working well with our latest three kernels, and I haven't found any problems while setting up some basic services (apache, mysql, php, etc). Seth and I have been emailing back and forth regarding 32-bit Fedora and the issue that os.uname() returns x86_64. He made the point that $basearch/$arch in the yum configs would be set to x86_64, which would cause yum to pull 64-bit packages for Fedora from then on. I thought the /etc/rpm/platform fix would help (as it did in CentOS), but that's ignored with yum in Fedora. Using pvgrub would eliminate this problem, but that requires a significant developer contribution on our end to bring our automation tools up to speed. I've built a few 32-bit kernels from Ubuntu's sources as well as upstream kernel.org sources and I've had kernel panics inside the domU that I cannot resolve. -- Major Hayden On Mar 2, 2010, at 23:23, Stephen John Smoogen wrote: > On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 8:26 PM, Major Hayden <major.hayden at rackspace.com> wrote: >> Seth has graciously offered to review our offerings and give us a hand if we run into problems.

I work at Rackspace in a systems operations role within the Slicehost/Cloud Servers group. As I discussed with Seth, I'm one of the biggest proponents of Fedora, CentOS and Red Hat within the Cloud segment and I look forward to working more with members of your team! >> >> -- >> Major Hayden >> major.hayden at rackspace.com >> > > Cool.
