CentOS 5 :: How To Get Kernel-2.6.19 For 5.2
Dec 26, 2008
I'm running CentOS 5.2 on a machine with an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard.This version of CentOS includes kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 The sensors chip on this motherboard is the ITE IT8716F and I find that support for this chip is not included until kernel version 2.6.19 (according to the lm_sensors mailing list).I've searched for RPMs for this kernel version, but can't find any. Is this something I can download and install from somewhere, or must I download the sources and build it?

after update to kernel-2.6.18-164.el5 one of the 2 NIC's of my machine are only found at 1 of 4 reboots. Using the old one kernel-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 all is fine. This are the to NIC's:
00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 0c)
And the Intel one, makes the problems with the new kernel.

The server runs# uname -r2.6.18-128.4.1.el5However, today I executed yum update kernel*due to security advisory. I was just about to reboot the system when I realized that it runs VMWare Server Instance that will most likely fail to restart after kernel upgrade (I had a hard time fixing it after previous kernel update). Now I want to keep 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 after reboot.I see that new kernel is scheduled for booting:
# cat /etc/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=20

I'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.

The 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.

I 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).

I am an old days RH release user(from 6.x) and just switching back from Debian/Ubuntu to CentOS on some servers, but I can not understand the kernel update strategy currently enabled in CentOS.There are two boxes, with almost identical installation, but recently there was an auto update of kernel on one box. This auto update also seems to issue an auto reboot on the machine, which is unacceptable on server machines.

I'm setting up a raid 5 on several hard disks with a layer of lvm on top for good measure.I know the recent kernels support growing software raid, but since centos runs 2.6.18, I wanted to make sure it'll work. Does the centos kernel support growing raid devices?

I'm using hughesjr' kernel-rt and would like to use ext4 as well. Since the stable release of ext4 is in 2.6.28, I'm wondering if there are any plannedupdates to this kernel-rt release? If not, is it possible to patch this version (2.6.24.7-65.el5rt.centos) of the kernel with stable ext4 patches/tools?

I want rebuild my 2.6.18.-128.e15 kernel in CentOS 5.3? but i have one trouble. When i type make bzImage I see
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by `init/built-in.o'. Stop.
make: *** [init] Error 2
on the screen. It is because kernel sourse codes are not full. I can not search full sourse codes of 2.6.18.-128.e15 kernel.not in src.rpm , not in tar.bz2 etc.

after updating freshly installed CentOS 5.2 to 5.3, the new - updated kernel remains invisible to GRUB (at least in GRUB boot menu). I've tried reinstalling, adding the entry manually (although one entry for the new kernel already exists, and is default boot target), altering the old kernel entry to refer to the new kernel and initrd (since it is the only entry visible), and nothing worked. Also, the new boot entry added manually didn't show up on the boot menu either. After trying to edit the entry for the old kernel and initrd and boot it i got the following message:
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format. I've searched and found:
13 : Invalid or unsupported executable format
This error is returned if the kernel image being loaded is not recognized as Multiboot or one of the supported native formats (Linux zImage or bzImage, FreeBSD, or NetBSD). The hardware I installed CentOS on is Dell Optiplex 755 with RAID 1 configured - using onboard controller (if this can be of any relevance).

New Centos and linx. I am trying to install VMware. The kernel I am running is 2.6.18-128.el5xen. The installation says that it can't find the directory of C header files that match my running kernel.
I friend of mine that is helping learn all this says that I need to install the RPM for my kernel. Can anyone tell me where I might be able to find that?

I installed the PAE kernel package on a Compaq DL380 G3 with 6GB of RAM, CentOS 5.5, vanilla install.
Upon reboot, GRUB cannot boot any of the kernels. I get an invalid device string error. Poking around in GRUB, it detects root correctly at hd(0,0) Beyond that, it cannot even find /boot/grub/stage1. I got out of the bind by reinstalling the kernel that ships with the installer. I'd like to use the 6GB RAM if possible. I attempted to follow GRUB's documentation here: [URL] but there is no grub-mkimage in centos5.5.
Also, the 5.5 installer detects, but appears to have no way to mount usb flash drives. I used the installer disc 1 to get into rescue mode. From there, I inserted a usb flash drive. dmesg and lsusb show the device, but there's no device node and resultant messages when a flash drive is inserted. There is no usb-storage module when doing an lsmod from the installer. I don't have this issue in other distro installers.

I've upgrade the kernel from '2.6.18-128.el5' to '2.6.18-128.1.10.el5':
yum install kernel
yum install kernel-devel
yum install kernel-headers
yum install kernel-doc
But the system run into problem with WLAN, and I've search in this site and sombody posted in here: [URL] It's almost the same, the different is the card I use is TP-LINK. Then I decided to remove the newly installed kernel:

I decided to try Linux recently. I downloaded CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.iso. Installation was successful but the OS reports Kernel Panic while booting. At first I can see messages:
Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range
PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area at e0000000 is not E820-reserved
PCI: Not usin MMCONFIG
The OS continues to boot, but then shows kernel panic.
I tried to solve this problem during several days. I've installed the OS at least 10 times changing conditions. I tried x86-64 version, disabled PAE in BIOS, performed manual partitioning without LVM. The result is the same.
My PC has Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU (no overclocking), 4GB RAM (DDR2-800), ATI 3470 GPU. Windows is working smoothly on it, I can encode video during several hours without problem. All fans are working, the system is not overheated. MemTest86 showed no errors.
I've installed CentOS on my laptop (Core 2 T5600 CPU, 2GB RAM, Intel G945 Video), it works nice, i like it very much.
For testing I've installed OpenSUSE 11.1 on the PC, everything is ok, I'm writing this message from it.

I am currently running the xen (64 bit) kernel, but want to move to the non xen kernel(64 bit) while retaining my carefully crafted system. I tried this once before by unticking the "virtualisation" and it removed the xen kernel, leaving me with nothing to boot from.
