CentOS 5 :: Create A Custom Kernel Using 2.6.31.5 Kernel Source?
Oct 31, 2009I'm running CentOS 5.3 and would like to know what the "best" or "proper" method is to build a custom kernel using the generic kernel sources from kernel.org. Most of the references I've found talk about modifying the current CentOS kernel using the RPM way. I really want to have the latest kernel due to some important security issues that haven't been addressed in the current CentOS 5.3 kernel.

Jan 4, 2011i have 3 kernels on my ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-22; 2.6.35-23; 2.6.35-24). i tried to remove the oldest kernel 2.6.35-22 through synaptic manager, but it says that the kernel is not installed on the system. in fact, all the kernels i have on my system were shown as not installed. when i right-click it highlights only 'mark for installation'. so i tried to remove it from the terminal using the command:
sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-2.6.20-15 linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic --purge
it processes and show that it has been deleted. then i typed:
sudo update-grub2
it showed the grub2 without the deleted kernel. then i restarted, but it was still there. then i logged into the latest kernel (2.6.35-24) and typed:
sudo update-grub
it showed everything including the deleted kernel. then i typed:
sudo update-grub2
and it now showed everything, including the deleted kernel. i thought it was a problem with grub showing deleted entries, so i tried to boot the deleted kernel (2.6.35-22) and surprisingly it booted very well, no hicks or slows. i rebooted into the latest kernel and then tried to re-run the kernel delete command via the terminal, but it said that the old kernel (2.6.35-22) is not installed.
i don't know what's wrong. how do i delete the 2.6.35-22 kernel and update my grub/grub 2?
***besides, my grub is stil GRUB 1.xx version. but how come i still have / can run grub and grub2 on my system? and is also can update both grubs?

Server :: How To Permanently Remove A Module From Kernel
Apr 11, 2010I got this problem where my USB ports don't work. So if I do the command:
modprobe -r ehci_hcd
it fixes it. I can put it in the /etc/rc.local so that it runs every time when the server reboots. But, I want the ehci module removed without ever being loaded because sometimes the server goes through an fsck and the module is loaded and therefore I cannot use my IPMI to access the server.
I believe that my kernel has it within it because blacklisting the module does not work. I've tried remaking the initrd with this:
add module to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname-r).img $(uname -r)
and that didn't work. I've searched on how to do it but nothing is really clear. I would like to know what the command would be to do this. I use Fedora 8.
I would like the ehci_hcd module to not be loaded so that if the server goes through an fsck, the module is still not loaded.
CentOS 5 :: Kernel Panic Not Syncing No Init After Fresh Install Centos 5.3 Iscsi?
Jul 9, 2009The first server I installed installed fine. The second server, installed with the same config, went to "kernel panic not syncing no init found try passing init= option in kernel" error. I tried reinstalling but it keeps going to that error after install reboot. The storage is ISCSI connected via Intel Server Adapter, which allows it to boot from ISCSI. Not sure if that's the cause for the problem, but the first server is connected to the same ISCSI and installed just fine.
Is there a way that I can make sure ISCSI module installs during installation? Although I think it is installed since it's able to copy the files and setup /dev/sda. I just wana make sure that it installs during setup.
CentOS 5 :: CentOS 5 Home Server Power Consumtion? (features, Kernel Versions Etc.)?
Feb 28, 2010I built a home server (NAS/WWW/SSH/media server etc) and chose CentOS 5 as the OS (stability, easy of configuration).I was just about to start tuning the power consumption when I realised that the kernel CentOS uses is so "old" that it does not support the latest reduced power consumption enhancements that Linux has achieved in big strides in the recent past (we are probably still talking 6-12+ months ago e.g. tickless kernel)..
So my questions; 1) I know CentOS was maybe not meant for home servers (certainly its not its primary purpose), but if it is, any ideas of what kind of power consumption it takes (I know its relative) and if there are particular power consumptions that are worthwhile?
2) Do you recommend me compiling my own 2.6.21+ kernel from kernel.org or am I just likely to have compatibility issues (I really did not want to do that) or when is CentOS 5.4 supposed to have a newer 2.6.21+ version kernel?
Was it wrong of me in principle to choose CentOS for a home server when I am power conscious? (I don't have a low-power VIA processor either but a P4 so I am really just hoping to make do with software changes).
