Hyper-V, CentOS 6.5 kernel panic, and 7 long hours

Wed, 28 May 2014 00:00:00 +0000

In hopes of it helping someone else not spend hours of work like I just did here is my lesson-learned from my first day of using Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V.

Vagrant, Veewee, & Me (part 1)

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

I have toyed with the idea of diving into Vagrant for a while now and, tonight, decided it was time. I decided to be different and RTFM… this left me with two big questions: where can I get “boxes” from and how can I easily make my own? After a little Googling I discovered that Puppet Labs provides a small library of the boxes they use internally. On their page I also found the answer to my second question of how to make my own: Veewee. It seems I have a bit of setup to do before I can start using Veewee but I think it will be worth it. My plan is to bring up a base CentOS 6.4 x86_64 box and then make a Vagrantfile that uses Puppet to configure it for building RPM’s in. Ideally, I will start including this Vagrantfile with the source of any RPM I publish so that building a new one is easy-peasy.
