CentOS

I also ran "grub2-set-default 0" and "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg" - because I think that's where 9.0 stored it. Just now I tried: sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg --update-bls-cmdline On EL9 the actual grub.cfg is in /boot/grub2/ and the /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg...

so that it can be generalized and uploaded to Microsoft Azure, with the attention to create a custom image for us to push within our Azure environment. I'd guess that both AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux do have images for clouds, Azure included. You could probably spawn instance on Azure from such image...

Quick websearch says that Remi's repos have (had) php-mssql for el[4567] and EPEL for el7. Also, Remi's repos have (had) php56-php-mssql for el[678]. Those are for PHP 5.4 and 5.6. RHEL 9 has PHP 8.0 (and 8.1 as an appstream). I'd guess that PHP 8 is different from PHP 5. If there is something for m...

Its many months since this thread was active -- the death of CentOS 7 is rapidly approaching.


For the hardware issue one could test what was mentioned:

I`ll spin up a redhat vm

"VM". Have some more recent distro on the bare metal and see if CentOS 7 can run in VM.

Even though CentOS 7 is already "old", its default network management is with NetworkManager.service , so one could use command nmcli to show what system has. If that feels too "new", or if NetworkManager.service has been explicitly replaced with legacy network.service , then tools from iproute2 wou...

I'm looking to make the leap to CentOS 8 without risking any data loss. If you care about your data, then you already have backups. There has never been a supported upgrade from one version of CentOS to the next and it's not supported with Rocky or Alma either. In all cases the supported way to mig...

+1 to that. Having said that ... I have installed Centos 7 in vmware player Is "vmware player" a hypervisor? Don't most hypervisors allow some control on what kind of "hardware" the VM guest has access to? IME, an issue with guest is usually that not enough is "passed through" to guest. Logically, i...

... they also ship one that they _claim_ is the RHEL kernel and almost is. It's the almost-RHEL one that ought to be compatible with RHEL and is not.

Aww. That ain't cute. Oh well, ...

ELRepo kmods do not work on OEL reliably for example. Isn't kernel the package that Oracle particularly customizes? ("Security" something ...) No wonder then that kernel modules built for different kernel won't match. Then again, CentOS Stream kernels are no RHEL kernels either, so they are similar...

The rationale was described in https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2021/01/05/building-red-hat-enterprise-linux-9-for-the-x86-64-v2-microarchitecture-level Xeon E5440 was one of the "Harpertown" models, released 2007-2008, and based on "Penryn microarchitecture". The Penryn was succeeded by Nehalem. ...
