SL_afs_no_dynroot-2.0-1.noarch.rpm
This package removes the -dynroot option from the openafs config
Restarting of afs is needed for this to take effect.
This rpm does not restart afs
SL_desktop_tweaks-2.0-4.noarch.rpm
This adds a terminal icon to the kicker panel for both KDE and GNOME.
This also enables 'Last Session' in gdm login screen.

console output to both the serial port and the screen. This
also creates a login prompt on the serial port and allows users
to login at this prompt.
SL_enable_slocate_cron-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
By default slocate does not run daily, it is turned off in it's
config file. This turns it on when the rpm is added, and
turns it back off when the rpm is removed.
SL_inittab_change-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
Changes /etc/inittab to require the root password for
single user mode. Not installed by default.
SL_libg2c.a_change-3.4.3-1.noarch.rpm

Not installed by default.
yum
createrepo is used to create yum repositories on the server for
yum 2.1 and above, and possibly future versions of apt.
yum-conf has the check for a running yum in it, so that if
yum has been running for a long time, when the yum.cron
starts up, it will kill the old yum. This was changed because we
had reports that yum was "hanging".
* yum-conf-4.1-2.SL has a new bugfix repo in it
* yum-conf-4.1-4.SL has atrpms, dag, and dries repo's in it, but they
* are not enabled by default. To enable them for one time use, use the
* --enablerepo command, such as
* yum --enablerepo=atrpms list madwifi
* yum --enablerepo=dag install mplayer
* If you want the repositories to be enabled all the time then you need
* to edit the config files and change enabled=0 to enabled=1.
* The config files are
* /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo
* /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo
* /etc/yum.repos.d/dries.repo
* yum-2.2.2-1.SL.noarch.rpm
* yum-conf-4.1-4.SL.noarch.rpm
createrepo-0.4.2-1.noarch.rpm

Changed RPMS compared to vendor
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installer(anaconda)
Added support for sites.
Added support for openafs on smp
* Fixed up disk swap problems with site cd install
* Updated to Update 1 version
* anaconda-10.1.1.19-1SL.i386.rpm
* anaconda-runtime-10.1.1.19-1SL.i386.rpm
There are minimal changes compared to the "vendor" release. We have changed
the "rpms" that are required to be changed. These changes are defined by the
"vendor".
sl-release has been determined to be the place to change several
global properties. This is how fedora does it.
sl-release changes the default mozilla and firefox bookmarks.
sl-release changes the default up2date configuration to use yum and
points this configuration to ftp.scientificlinux.org
* Fixes /etc/redhat-release containing "Release" vs "release"
* Includes SL.releasenote
indexhtml-4-2.SL.1.noarch.rpm
redhat-artwork-0.117-1.SL.5.i386.rpm
redhat-logos-1.1.25-1.SL.8.noarch.rpm
* sl-release-4.1-4.noarch.rpm
These rpm's are not required to be changed by the vendor, we removed
some vendor references customizations
desktop-backgrounds-basic-2.0-26.2.3SL.noarch.rpm
desktop-backgrounds-extra-2.0-26.2.3SL.noarch.rpm
*glade2-2.6.0-1.SL4.i386.rpm
*
* glade2 has an bug so that all you got was a blank window when it started.
* This was an infinate loop bug, which was fixed.
*pam_krb5-2.1.2-1.SL.1.i386.rpm
*
* The pam_krb5 pam module had several bugs in it, most of
* them were triggered when AFS was installed. This resolves
* a majority of them.
* If you have kerberos enabled, and AFS installed, and you are
* finding that your login's are taking a long time, then you
* will want to put "ignore_afs = true" in the pam section of
* your /etc/krb5.conf file. You will not get an AFS token
* when you authenticate, but you weren't before either.

Scientific Linux 4.1 Release Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
The following topics are covered in this document:
o Changes to the Scientific Linux installation program (Anaconda)
o General information
o Changes to drivers and hardware support
o Changes to packages
Installation Related Notes
The following section includes information specific to installation of
Scientific Linux and the Anaconda installation program.
Note
In order to upgrade an already-installed Scientific Linux 4.x system
to 4.1, you must use yum or apt to update those packages that
have changed.
You may use Anaconda to perform a fresh installation of Scientific
Linux 4.1 or to perform an upgrade from the latest updated version
of Scientific Linux 3.0.x to Scientific Linux 4.x.
General Information
This section contains general information not specific to any other
section of this document.
o The openssh-3.9p1 package included in Scientific Linux 4.x
introduced two different modes of X11 forwarding: trusted and
untrusted. In the default Scientific Linux 4.x configuration,
passing the -X flag to /usr/bin/ssh (or using the "ForwardX11 on"
configuration option) enables untrusted X11 forwarding. This mode
restricts the X11 protocol to prevent a malicious application using a
forwarded SSH connection from compromising the security of the local
X11 server (for example, by performing keystroke monitoring); but few
X11 applications are usable in this mode.
In Scientific Linux 4.1, the default configuration of
the openssh client has been changed such that passing the -X flag
enables trusted X11 forwarding. The trusted forwarding mode allows all
X applications to work correctly when forwarded over an SSH
connection; but, as with previous releases of Scientific
Linux, it should only be used when invoking trusted applications.
Important
X11 forwarding is disabled by default in Scientific Linux 4.x,
which differs from previous Scientific Linux 3.0.x releases such
that attempting to run a malicious X11 application over an ssh
connection cannot compromise the local X11 server. You should only use
X11 forwarding when connecting to trusted servers.
o Scientific Linux 4.1 now includes the diskdump
facility,which can serve as an alternative to (or be used in
conjunction with) the netdump facility.
The diskdump facility for i386 systems currently support the aic7xxx,
aic79xx, mpt fusion, megaraid, ata_piix, and sata_promise devices. On
ia64 systems, the aic7xxx, aic79xx, mpt fusion, and sata_promise
devices are supported. On AMD64 and Intel(R) EM64T systems, the
aic7xxx, aic79xx, mpt fusion, megaraid, sata_promise, and ata_piix
devices are supported. Finally, on PPC64 systems, the ipr and
sym53c8xx_2 devices are supported.
Note
The megaraid and SATA devices are newly supported in
Scientific Linux 4.1.
Usage of the diskdump facility requires a dedicated disk device or
disk partitions that are large enough to contain all physical system
memory. In the event of a system crash, memory will be written to the
configured disk location. Upon subsequent reboot, the data will be
copied from the configured disk location and formatted into a vmcore
file, identical in functionality to that created by the netdump
facility, and stored in the unique subdirectory /var/crash/. The
vmcore file may be analyzed using the crash(8) utility.
Important
The diskdump facility may fail to write a dump file if cluster mode is
enabled on megaraid adapters. You can disable cluster mode on megaraid
adapters using the device's WebBIOS utility. Consult your manufacturer
documentation for more information on using WebBIOS.
The kernel modules required for the diskdump facility are
automatically included in the Scientific Linux 4.x kernel. The
associated user-space diskdump package is named diskdumputils-1.0.1-5,
and like netdump, is installed by default.
The appropriate disk location must first be configured and then
preformatted for use. After formatting, the diskdump facility may be
turned on with chkconfig(8), and then the service must be started.
Detailed documentation concerning configuration and user tasks is
included with the diskdumputils at the following:
/usr/share/doc/diskdumputils-1.0.1-5/README
Further information can be found in the diskdumpfmt(8),
diskdumpctl(8), and savecore(8) man pages.
Kernel Notes
This section contains notes relating to the Scientific Linux 4.1 kernel.
o An issue that causes USB mice to stop responding after a few hours of
use has been discovered on certain systems. A BIOS setting that
enables USB emulation causes 2.6 kernel mouse driving to freeze, which
necessitates either changing to a virtual console using Ctrl-Alt-Fx
then switching back to the graphical desktop or unplugging and
re-plugging the mouse in order to regain functionality.
To prevent the freezing of USB mice, it is recommended to disable USB
Emulation support (also called USB Legacy Support) in the system's
BIOS. Refer to your system manufacturer documentation for more
information about finding and disabling this BIOS setting.
o The Scientific Linux 4.1 kernel automatically disables
NUMA optimizations (numa=off) by default on systems using the AMD64
dual core processor. This ensures stable operation across multiple
systems where each has a different system BIOS implementation for
reporting dual core processors.
Users have the ability to safely override this default for a system
where the manufacturer has stated conformance with the reporting of
dual core processors as expected by Scientific Linux 4.1 kernel.
Users can override the numa=off default by specifying numa=on on the
Linux boot prompt or on the active kernel line in the grub.conf file.
If the system fails to boot after enabling this function, remove the
override and retry it. This limitation is expected to be removed in a
future Scientific Linux 4.x update.
Changes to Drivers and Hardware Support
This update includes bug fixes for a number of drivers. The more
significant driver updates are listed below. In some cases, the original
driver has been preserved under a different name, and is available as a
non-default alternative for organizations that wish to migrate their
driver configuration to the latest versions at a later time.
Note
The migration to the latest drivers should be completed before the next
Scientific Linux update is applied, because in most cases only one
older-revision driver will be preserved for each update.
The following device drivers are updated in Scientific Linux 4.1:
o Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel HBA (lpfc driver)
o LSI Logic MegaRAID Controller family (megaraid_mbox driver)
o Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100/2200 adapters (ieee80211/ipw2100/ipw2200
drivers)
o Broadcom Tigon3 (tg3 driver)
o Intel(R) Pro/100 Adapter family (e100 driver)
o Intel(R) PRO/1000 Adapters (e1000 driver)
o Serial ATA (SATA) devices (sata driver)
o Neterion 10GB Ethernet adapter (s2io driver)
o The kernel shipped with Scientific Linux 4.1 includes
the new megaraid_mbox driver from LSI Logic, which replaces the
megaraid driver. The megaraid_mbox driver has an improved design, is
compatible with the 2.6 kernel, and includes support for the latest
hardware. However, megaraid_mbox does not support some of the older
hardware that was supported by the megaraid driver.
Adapters with the following PCI vendor ID and device ID pairs are not
supported by the megaraid_mbox driver:
vendor, device
0x101E, 0x9010
0x101E, 0x9060
0x8086, 0x1960
The lspci -n command can be used to display the IDs for adapters
installed in a particular machine. Products with these IDs are known
by (but not limited to) the following model names:
o Broadcom 5820
o Dell PERC (dual-channel fast/wide SCSI) RAID controller
o Dell PERC2/SC (single-channel Ultra SCSI) RAID controller
o Dell PERC2/DC (dual-channel Ultra SCSI) RAID controller
o Dell CERC (four-channel ATA/100) RAID controller
o DRAC 1
o MegaRAID 428
o MegaRAID 466
o MegaRAID Express 500
o HP NetRAID 3Si and 1M
Note
Both Dell and LSI Logic have indicated that they no longer support these
models in the 2.6 kernel. As a result, these adapters are no longer
supported in Scientific Linux 4.1.
o Scientific Linux 4.1 provides support for disk devices
that are larger than 2 terabytes (TB). Although there is limited
support for this feature in the Scientific Linux 4.0 release,
4.1 contains many improvements (both in user space programs and
in the kernel). In general, 4.1 is considered a requirement for
support of disk devices larger than 2 TB.
Please note the following guidelines and restrictions related to large
device support:
. Typical disk devices are addressed in units of 512 byte blocks. The
size of the address in the SCSI command determines the maximum device
size. The SCSI command set includes commands that have 16-bit block
addresses (device size is limited to 2 GB), 32-bit block addresses
(limited to addressing 2 TB), and 64-bit block addresses. The SCSI
subsystem in the 2.6 kernel has support for commands with 64-bit block
addresses. To support disks larger then 2 TB, the Host Bus Adapter
(HBA), the HBA driver, and the storage device must also support 64-bit
block address. We have tested the QLogic qla2300 driver and the
Emulex lpfc driver, included in Scientific Linux 4.1,
on an 8 TB logical unit on a Winchester Systems FX400 (rev. 3.42B and
above is required).
. The commonly-used MS-DOS partition table format can not be used on
devices larger than 2 TB. For devices larger than 2 TB, the GPT
partition table format must be used. The parted utility must be used
for the creation and management of GPT partitions. To create a GPT
partition, use the parted command mklabel gpt.
Scientific Linux requires that all block devices be initialized with a valid
partition table, even if there is a single partition encompassing the
entire device. This requirement exists to prevent potential problems
caused by erroneous or unintended partition tables on the device.
. The Anaconda installer currently only supports GPT partition tables
on the Itanium(TM) architecture. As a result, it is not possible to
install or format devices that are larger that 2 TB with Anaconda,
except on Itanium(TM) platforms.
. The / and /boot directories must be located on devices that are 2 TB
in size or less.
. Various issues with LVM2 on large devices are fixed in
Scientific Linux 4.1. Do not use LVM2 on devices larger than 2
TB prior to installing 4.1.
As noted above, Scientific Linux requires that a partition table be written to
the block device, even when it is used as part of an LVM2 Volume
Group. In this case, you may create a single partition that spans the
entire device. Then, be sure to specify the full partition name (for
example, /dev/sda1, not /dev/sda), when you use the pvcreate and
vgcreate commands.
. The maximum size disk that can be a member of an md software RAID
set is 2 TB. The md RAID device itself can be larger than 2 TB.
Devices have been tested up to 8 TB.
. Various issues with e2fsprogs that occur on devices larger than 4 TB
are addressed in Scientific Linux 4.1. Prior to 4.1,
these issues can be worked around by specifying mke2fs -b 4096 when
making an ext2 or ext3 filesystem. The workaround is not necessary in
4.1.
The ext2 and ext3 filesystems have an internal limit of 8 TB. Devices
up to this limit have been tested.
You may want to use the mke2fs -T largefile4 command to speed up the
creation of large filesystems.
. The GFS filesystem is limited to 16 TB on 32-bit systems, and 8
exabytes (EB) with 64-bit systems. GFS filesystem
sizes up to 8 TB have been tested.
. NFS partitions greater than 2 TB have been tested and are supported.
. Scientific Linux 4.1 user space tools are compiled
for large file support. However, it is not possible to test every
program in this mode. Please file a problem report if issues arise
when using the tools for large file support.
. The inn program does not function correctly with devices larger than
2 TB. This will be addressed in a future release of Scientific Linux.
