2. Introduction

Welcome to the CentOS 4.8 release. CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by our Upstream OS Provider (UOP)¹.

CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. (CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.) CentOS is a Free Operating System.

CentOS 4.8 is the eighth update to the CentOS 4 distribution series. It contains bugfixes, updates and new functionality. Before reading any further we advise you to read the UOP release notes. The rest of this document is an addendum to those notes, and primarily covers CentOS-specific issues.

3. Known Issues

• There is a requirement to swap in CD-1 during the install phase of CD-4 during some installs when the comps RPM is required to be installed. This is because to get a minimal install with only one CD, the comps RPM has been moved to CD-1. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we think having comps on CD-1 is the best solution to this issue.

• An upstream bug #497499 with the 3c59x Ethernet driver has been encountered during testing. The specific hardware tested was "3Com Corporation 3c556B CardBus [Tornado]". No workaround is known for this bug.

• CentOS adds i586 support to CentOS 4 that is not available upstream. There are issues with the i586 support on the CentOS 4.8 install media. If you are using CentOS 4 on an i586 machine, you should be able to use a modified installer from i586.centos.org. Please see this link for more information on i586 on CentOS 4.8.

• This is expected to be the last normally scheduled Point Release during the Deployment Life Cycle Phase for CentOS 4. There is one final Point Release (CentOS-4.9) expected at the beginning of the Maintenance Life Cycle Phase for CentOS 4. What this means is that the 4.8 release is expected to be the last major update which adds new hardware support. New deployments on new hardware going forward should instead use a version of CentOS that is in the Full Support Phase. Currently only the CentOS 5.x series is in the Full Support Phase.

• kmod-xenpv and modversions are no longer required for Xen kernels used on CentOS. If you have kmod-xenpv and modversions installed, they must manually be removed with rpm -e before installing the newest module-init-tools and the newest CentOS-4.8 kernel. Please see bug number #487479 in the UOP bugzilla for more information concerning this issue.

6. Community Involvement

As a CentOS user there are various ways you can help out with the CentOS community.

6.1. Special Interest Groups

CentOS consists of different Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that bring together people with similar interests. The following SIGs already exist:

• Artwork - create and improve artwork for CentOS releases and promotion

• Promotion - help promoting CentOS online or at events

• Virtualization - unite people around virtualization in CentOS

And we encourage people to join any of these SIGs or start up a new SIG, eg.

• Hardware compatibility - provide feedback about specific hardware
• QA - help out with fixing bugs and testing new releases
• RPM Packaging - contribute new useful RPM packages
• Translation - help translating the documentation, website and wiki content

6.2. Mailinglists and Forums

Another way you can help out others in the community is by actively helping and resolving problems that users come up against in the mailinglists and forums.

6.3. Wiki and website

Even as an inexperienced CentOS user we can use your help. Because we like to know what problems you encountered, if you had problems finding specific information, how you would improve documentation so it becomes more accessible. This kind of feedback is as valuable to others as it would have been to you so your involvement is required to make CentOS better.

So if you want to help out and improve our documentation and wiki, register on the wiki and subscribe to the centos-docs mailinglist.
