Can I install CentOS 4.2 on Sun X4100?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Dear Smith,

Thank you for your information!
I tried to migrate RHES 4.0 to CentOS 4.2 and successfully finished it.
It saved much time and gave me many conviences because I didn't have
to reinstall the Linux.

The main issue was a device driver, but it is included in CentOS 4.2.
So after rebooting with CentOS kernel, my X4100 runs perfectly.

Thank you for your help!

There's a howto for switching from Whitebox, I'd imagine that ES to CentOS 
would be similar:

I took the above FAQ and made a working script you're free to play with:

Good luck.
