CentOS 5 :: Mondo: Kernel Panic Upon Restore?

Feb 21, 2011

I created a CD image of my CentOS installation using mondo. When I booted from this CD and, in the restore process, selected an option to test the integrity of the image, it got to a certain point and said: Failure to execute /init. Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.The instructions say the kernel may need to be recompiled with certain options.Does anyone know if the CentOS kernel needs to be recompiled for use with mondo? If so, with exactly what options?I'm using CentOS 5.5. dmesg: Linux version 2.6.18-194.el5 (mockbuild@builder10.centos.org) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat4.1.2-48)) #1 SMP Fri Apr 2 14:58:14 EDT 2010.

Unfortunately I don't remember exactly what command I used to test the integrity of the mondo image, and http:[url]....the source of the instructions, is currently down.

CentOS 5 :: Kernel Panic Not Syncing No Init After Fresh Install Centos 5.3 Iscsi?

Jul 9, 2009

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.

CentOS 5 :: Kernel Panic During First Boot

May 21, 2009

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.

CentOS 5 :: Kernel Panic After 5.5 Upgrade?

Sep 19, 2010

Today I upgraded one of my computers with the following command

% yum upgrade

Before the upgrade the computer was running CentOS 5.3 with the versionlock plugin and kernel 2.6.18-128. The update went smoothly (no dependency problems).

If I try to reboot with the new kernel (2.6.18-194), I get the following:

Found volume group VolGroup00 using metadata type lvm2
2 logical groups in VolGroup00 now active
mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ex3t: No such device
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory

[Code].....

If I reboot with the previous kernel (2.6.18-128), everything is fine.

I provided backup and decided use two mirrored SATA disks Seagate ST3500320NS HDD ES.2 500GB with PCI SATA controler Kouwell KW-5125 (SiI3124 chipset) inserted through PCI riser card (2U case). (I can't replace old SCSI disk because it isn't available any more.) I disabled SCSI controler in BIOS and removed Adaptec SCSI RAID 2000S PCI card. I inserted PCI SATA controler connected both SATA disks and configured mirroring.

From the error message, i just found maybe some error related to 'Intel i915'.

But when use CentOS 4.6 install DVD, the installation can go smoothly and system run without any error (even can't find the lan card) After search past post, someone claimed that this motherboard can used to install CentOS 5.2. Does anyone had exp. on using the MB to install CentOS 5.3?

CentOS 5 :: Tablet PC - New Install From DOS Floppy - Kernel Panic Hang

Apr 15, 2009

I recently bought a Toshiba Portege M200 tablet PC and it's caused me no end of grief to load linux on it. I would like to load CentOS 5.x (because my hosting company uses it and I will be able to learn as I run it).

Here are my resources:

I found internet resources to create a boot disk that enables me to see my 8GB Sony USB flash drive via DOS. It works nicely.

I have a laptop drive to USB converter and can access the hard drive directly from my Win XP desktop. I have PowerQuest's Partition Magic Pro (v8.0) and can make Ext2 and Ext3 partitions at will. I have also loaded a program that allows Windows XP to read and write from Ext2 and Ext3. It works well.

I have tried loading boot images from PXE. This option is mostly out because it seems to be a couple levels past my competency (I haven't been able to get it to work).

Given those resources, what's the best way to load either the CentOS live CD... or some other approach?

Since I wrote this, I figured out how to make a boot floppy that can start an external USB CD-ROM/DVD drive. Here are the files on the floppy:

Here's the contents of my config.sys:

Here's the contents of my autoexec.com:

I can boot to the CD and launch linld.com. The problem is that I keep getting a kernal panic message, saying that a memory block could not be addressed. And when I add the following part to the line above: "initrd=d:isolinuxinitrd.img" the install fails and reboots. I have tried to expand the initrd.img and it appears... blank?

CentOS 5 :: Kernel Panic Creating LVM Snapshot Of Root Fs Volume

Oct 29, 2009

I can cause the kernel to panic immediately with the following command. lvcreate --snapshot --name Snap --extents 100%FREE VolGroup00/LogVol00 The last line of the panic message is "<0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception" If I create a snapshot of any other volume it works just fine. It only panics on LogVol00 which is my root fs.

I'm running 5.4 after update from 5.3. It didn't work with 5.3 either. This is a 32-bit guest running in VMWare Server 2.0.1 which is running on FC10 x86_64. I've tried the guest in both UP and SMP (2 cores) modes and observed no difference.

CentOS 5 :: EXT3-fs: Unable To Read Superblock And Kernel Panic

Aug 15, 2011

I got a CentOS server + KDE from a server (which I had no contact until now), he had 2 HD's one for the system and another for files.

I brought the HD system home to try to make it run on a virual machine (VMware) so I can do some testing before you put in practice.

But already converted the VMware HD to the system, it tries to start but it shows some errors and in a message "kernel panic - not syncing: attemped to kill init"

I think the drivers are correct, has edited the file "/ etc / modprobe.conf" edited these entries equal to another I installed CentOS on VMware.

alias scsi_hostadapter mptbase
alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptspi
ata_piix alias scsi_hostadapter2

Look at the picture attached the full error.

CentOS 5 :: Cannot Log In After Restoring With Mondo Rescue

Nov 3, 2010

I install CentOS 5.5 from DVD, set root password and log in as root. Then I install Mondo Rescue backup solution, make a backup and restore from it. After that, the system boots just like before, but I cannot log in. When I enter the right password, a couple of lines of text flicks briefly on a screen, too fast to read and the it returns to the initial password prompt. When I enter wrong password, it says "Login incorrect".What am I doing wrong?

I am sending a message to mondo-devel mailing list, but I suspect the root of the problem lies in CentOS, or something that I do wrong with it?I have installed both i386 and x86_64 versions of CentOS 5.5 from DVD's, the problem is the same.I'm running this on a separate machine that I have just for experiments with CentOS and virtualization. I install CentOS with defaults except I uncheck "Desktop - Gnome" and check "Virtualization". I can reinstall if needed.

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Compaq CQ60-206 - Machine Check Exception" Followed By A "Kernel Panic

Apr 28, 2009

First off let me say thanks psy_unix and fuji, the pci=nomsi allowed me actually finish install on my laptop. (Read this post)

Problems do not stop here however...Now, when it reboots after install all I get is a "Machine Check Exception" followed by a "Kernel Panic". I had to switch back to Vista Home finally (not happy about that).

I just bought it and it runs happily under Vista, I just don't run happily under Vista.

How to get CentOS running on this one?

Information:

Laptop:
Compaq CQ60-206US
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 64 bit (2Ghz Dual Core)
Mem: 2 GB
OS: CentOS 5.3 (tried 32 and 64 bit)

I have also tried CentOS 5.2 (32 and 64 bit) with the same results.

General :: Kernel Panic In 64bit Arch Linux After Kernel Recompile - 2.6.35-rc3

Jun 15, 2010

I have recompiled a few kernels, but all on 32bit systems so not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Running Arch Linux 64bit, most recent version.

Kernel Output:

Code:

My first thoughts was that it might be my grub bootloader configuration, so had a big play around with that but it didn't fix it. Also made sure support was built for filesystems. However almost all that Fstab mounts are ext3 anyway, and certainly the root and /boot are. Now thinking it may be a memory error so will run a check when I shutdown.

General :: Getting Info On Kernel On Another Disk - Kernel Panic Error 6 Ext3

Feb 13, 2011

Dell laptop booting from a USB stick with a CentOS 5.5 minimum installation.

Uncompressing Linux...OK, booting the kernel.
Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.13 starting
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd-dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - no syncing: Attempted to kill init!

1. Does minimum installation not drop on a kernel or initrd with ext3 support? I can't imagine that's true, but have to ask.

2. The USB stick is single partition ext3. Maybe there is some limitation specifically related to USB stick booting that requires boot to be FAT16 or FAT32? Except the CentOS 5.5 installer refuses to let me install on either FAT.

3. How can I do the equivalent of lsmod on a linux installation that will not boot? i.e. I have CentOS x86_64 running in VirtualBox, I can plug the USB stick in there, so how do I get information on the USB stick's kernel and initrd if I can't boot from it?

4. Is it possible to rebuild the i386 based initrd on this USB stick, when the computer is not booted from that stick, with a system that's x86_64 based?

System Info:
Dell Latitude i686 Laptop which has run CentOS 5.5 and Fedora 12,13,14 in the past, and boots from Fedora 14 Live CD transferred to a USB stick. So I know USB booting is possible on this machine, and this stick.

The process of creating the stick:

CentOS 5.5 i386 on a USB stick. Old Dell i686 laptop which has previously run CentOS 5.5 installed from DVD, and has successfully booted from this same USB stick holding transferred Fedora 12,13,14 Live CDs. CentOS 5.5 was installed onto the USB drive directly by the CentOS 5.5 DVD installer (running virtualized in VirtualBox 4.02 on Mac OS X 10.6.5.). No errors or complaints during installation.

For whatever reason, the installer did not do some things correctly. First Grub wasn't working correctly, I got that sorted out and have the Grub+CentOS splash screen, it finds vmlinuz and the initrd, and then I get a kernel panic.

Ext3 was built into the kernel and that's why I'm getting this message. I do not know how the installer would have dropped a kernel or initrd during instalation that that don't contain such a basic thing that obviously comes in linux kernel 2.6.18-89 EL.

Red Hat :: RHEL4 Strange Kernel Panic On Boot - Kernel Update No Solution

Dec 31, 2008

I have the following strange thing with a RHEL4 installation. Since last week, the system did a reboot and now something is really fucked up. During boot we get the following messages (don't care about 'strange' typo's, my colleague typed it 'blind' from the screen)

Code:

The strange thing is that we never see a 'could not mount blabla' or similar messages. First we thought it was a failing kernel update by plesk, but even after manually updating the kernel with RHN RPM's, still the same message. Booting with rescue mode and then chroot the system works. After that we even can start things like plesk and so on.

We double checked things with another RHEL4 install, and at least two things were odd:

1: the working machine has /dev/dm-0 and /dev/dm-1, the broken one doesn't

2: some files on /dev didn't have group root, but 252

We tried to recreate the /dev/dm-X nodes with [vgmknodes -v], output:

Code:

A fdisk /dev/sda shows: /dev/sda2 XX XXX XXXXX Linux LVM (I removed the numbers because this line is from another machine, but rest was identical)

We have a copy of the boot partition so if one need more info please let me know.

grub.conf:
