Red Hat :: Rhel 4.5 - Ntpd And Rpc.statd Don't Start On Boot
Apr 8, 2009
I have a problem with a server with os Linux RedHat Enterprise AS 4.7:
when the server boots both ntpd and rpc.statd fail to start.
looking into /var/log/messages I found:
and
For ntp, when the server completed the boot process, altough it seems ntpd started, no external server is used for syncronization. The rpc.statd does not start at all and it doesn't appear if I issue a rpcinfo -p
The strange thing is that at this point if I manually start or restart /etc/init.d/ntpd and /etc/init.d/nfslock both services start with no errors. Another strange thing is the timestamp for messages into /var/log/messages. How could it be possible to have a line with a certain timestamp and the following with a timestamp 30 seconds before?
The kernel version in use is 2.6.9-55.0.12.ELsmp #1 SMP x86_64

Since recently statd at the boot time takes, more then 30s or even more.
It is laptop configuration, no NFS server(?) lenny with few installs from backports (open office and .30 kernel - for Intel 5300) vmwware (7), as well firestarter firewall
Can I disable it or change the boot order (via sysv-rc-conf ), so I can speed up my boot time?

I'm trying to sync my clock. I think I would like to do this by the "ntpd" daemon running. I think it should start up on boot, but it doesn't.
I have the following in my /var/log/syslog:
Jul 18 23:44:14 neo ntpd[1780]: ntpd 4.2.6p2@1.2194-o Sun Oct 17 13:45:13 UTC 2010 (1)
Jul 18 23:44:14 neo ntpd[1781]: proto: precision = 0.634 usec
Jul 18 23:44:14 neo ntpd[1781]: unable to bind to wildcard address 0.0.0.0 - another process may be running - EXITING
Jul 18 23:44:14 neo ntpdate[1194]: step time server 72.26.125.125 offset -0.505108 sec
Other posts say if ntpd and ntpdate run too close together, they cause one to think the other is locking a resource. It works to type "ntpdate pool.ntp.org" to manually update the clock. My Debian version is squeeze (6.0.2)
It works to start the ntpd daemon manually:
... sudo /etc/init.d/ntp start
... Starting NTP server: ntpd.

ntpd startup fails during boot.Does startup just fine manually from command line once it's booted though. Any suggestions what I might adjust?

I ran a large system update yesterday, and after a system reboot (for a new kernel), my nfs shares refused to mount. I keep getting error messages stating that statd isn't running.Attempting to restart the nfs-common or nfs-kernel-server services results in the same error message.I tried starting it manually using rpc.statd, and even though I get no errors from it, it doesn't appear to actually launch it.
I've been looking around the web, but I haven't been able to find anything useful, or even understandable to me. Most of what I find are old bugs or dead-end threads. I managed to get my shares to mount by adding the nolock option to the mount commands, but I'm not completely sure what that really does or whether it's safe or not to do so.

I rely on NFS shares to mount home directories and the shared apt cache on my home workstations. Since the last update, rpc.statd has broken and the service fails to run at boot. When init encounters nfs-common, the system shows: Starting NFS common utilities: statd failed!
and then it hangs on trying to mount /var/cache/apt
if anybody who uses testing has any clue as to whether there is a fix coming from the upstream, or if there is a config fix for it.

Environment:RHEL 5.2 and 5.4 AP x86_64, 2 drives (sda, sdb), installing without optional features like clustering and virtualization. I have tried this for a couple of days now and just can't get it to work. My goal is to take the RHEL 5.2 DVD and RHEL 5.4 DVD and install them on separate drives of the same machine. I want the grub menu to give me a choice. I prefer to understand the steps and choices offered me by the install dialog to do this rather than fiddle with grub.conf. If that is not possible, I will write up the bug.
So far, I just get the the error 13 when trying to start the grub added second OS. I have read elsewhere that "Anaconda frequently recognizes the other operating system and sets up grub so you can boot from either operating system". That would be nice. The install dialog lets me choose a drive to install to. I have figured out that I need to check "review and modify partitioning layout" to enter the advanced grub choices. Do I have it install a boot loader for the 1st OS? Trying to add the 1st OS during the second OS install creates a grub conf with no kernel line in the added boot stanza.

I have problem while configuring kickstart installation in rhel 5.2 .
I have followed bellow listed steps.
i, Copied iso.img into my server
ii, # mount �o loop iso.img /tmp/iso # cp -a /tmp/iso/* /tmp/iso_new/ # system-config-kickstart - - generate ks.cfg ( creating kickstart configuration file) # cp /root/ks.cf /tmp/iso_new/isolinux/ ( As suggested by red hat I have copied ks.cgf file into /isolinux/ folder.
iii) mkisofs -R -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o /tmp/new_1.iso /tmp/ iso_new # to create bootable disk
iv) Then started the system using this newly created iso image through HP ILO console and the system got booted successfully with boot prompt.
v) After executing the linux ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg from the boot prompt, we got a error by saying there is no CDROM deducted in your Machine and the installation got terminated .
vi) As per my understanding the ISO image is mounted as Virtual CD-ROM (/dev/scd0) in HP ILO.
Why the we are getting CD-ROM related Error ? How we can avoid this error? Is there any other set of configuration to achieve this ?

I am rebuilding / updating my internal server. It is strange to me that 11.0 will not install on this ASUS M3A78 MB but 11.2 will go through. I am setting up the ntp server and run into new things, ntpdate is not used anymore so you have this long string : sntp -P no -r pool.ntp.org which does the same thing or a couple of other calls that may work. It seems that pool.ntp.org will not work however so I switched to another time server.
pool.ntp.org does work on 11.0 however, it still uses ntpdate atm.
I can use ntpdate to my server from other clients and get the time but I can't use Yast to set it up, it hangs (or maybe it will eventually time out) when you test the server in the gui tool. rcntp ntptimeset comes back with no server reached on the ntp server machine so I am not confident that it will auto update itself, which I think is an issue, the server will not respond to client queries after a day or two.

I have a Windows 2003 server that runs a Win32 time server which synchronizes with off site time sources. I have a CentOS 5.4 server which I just configured and installed NTP on. For some reason, I keep getting time discrepancies even after the server is (apparently) synching with my local NTP server on the Windows box.
Hwclock is set to UTC true/etc/localtime is properly symlinked to appropriate /usr/share/zoneinfo fileNTPD is setup as a service which loads on startupNTP.conf is configured to only retrieve from my local Windows 2003 time serverntpq -p seems to verify that the system is indeed synching up properlyThe problem is, whenever I run the 'date' command it is displaying my system time in (presumably) UTC. That is, even though my the CentOS box appears to be synching up to the local time, it's not translating it into my proper time zone. Consequently, the date is always at -6 hours from the actual local time. It was my understanding that the hwclock is fine to remain at UTC as ntpd should be synching with my local Windows 2003 time server periodically and updating it, and the system time should be getting translated to my localtime.
what I do, after rebooting the box the hwclock and system clock display the improper time.Maybe I just have a fundamental misunderstanding of how this is supposed to operate.Update: I'm not sure why, but after I commented out the other servers and added a fudge declaration for my internal server and rebooted, everything is working as it should and the time is correct.I'm still not really sure if it was adding the "fudge <hostname> stratum 2" declaration that corrected things, or commenting out the additional hosts, so I'll leave this open if anyone cares to comment or contribute.

I can compile and run ntpd 4.2.6p2, but after a while the reach indicator falls back from 377 to 0 and then the ntpd is in an unsynced state for a while. So far I haven't seen any indication why we have this.

I just started testing a redhat enterprise linux 5 installation. This installation took place in a Latitude D630 labtop which currently has Ubuntu Desktop in (sda1) and Ubuntu Server in (sda3). My goal was to install Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 into (sda4). Both of the Ubuntu installation boot fine and work, but when I try booting the RHEL it shows a panic in the loading phase as follow VFS: Cannot open root device "sda4" or unknown-block(0,0)Please append a correct "root=" boot optionKernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)I am wondering what this means, maybe some of you would have a better clue than I do

I am trying to synchronize the time of my VM server with ntpd. I have the following configuration. And in the /etc/ntp.conf, I have the following line:
restrict default ignore
restrict 127.0.0.1.
server time1.server
server time2.server
Whenever I have this line, the erver is not able to synchronize its time... So far as I understood, this line prevents other servers using this machine as a time server. And the second line says to allow localhost to use as time server. But why do I need to use its own time server when I have specified to use time1.server and time2.server ? ( firewall for tcp and udp ports 123 is open)
However, when I replace the first line of the configuration with the following line, it works. restrict default kod nomodify notrap noquery But with this, i am allowing other servers to use this server a ntp (which I wouldn't like to). Why this machine tries to use ntp server of its own (to snyc time) and why it is not working though i have the entry "restrict 127.0.0.1" ??

I'd like to get the 13.0 "synchronized to <time server>, stratum <stratum>" messages back on 13.1.
- On 13.0, running ntpd 4.2.4p8, reassuring messages appeared in /var/log/messages like "synchronized to 211.233.84.186, stratum 2".
- On 13.1, running ntpd 4.2.6p1, there are no messages in /var/log/messages to confirm that time is being synchronised.
rc.ntpd on both starts ntpd with the same options. /etc/ntp.conf is identical on both, a "get it working and then make it secure" version:
Code:
cat /etc/ntp.conf | grep -E -v '^$|^#' cat /etc/ntp.conf | grep -E -v '^$|^#'
server in.pool.ntp.org
server asia.pool.ntp.org
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
According to Linux Home Networking, synchronization can be checked using ntpq -p. This shows synchronization is working. I would prefer to see that confirmation in /var/log/messages without having to run a command manually to check it. How to get the old messages back?

I'm having a problem installing RHEL-5 on my system. I have Windows 7 installed so far on a Dell XPS workstation that came with hardware RAID 0. I have 2 x 500 gb hard drives. So I went in Win 7 and partitioned my disk to leave about 75 gb of unallocated space to install RHEL-5 on. I load the RHEL-5 DVD into my disk, restart my comp, and just follow installation steps. Use about 73 GB as an ext3 partition for the RHEL-5 and have about 2 GB reserved for swap space. RHEL-5 installs, and I'm all done. However, when I reboot the computer, the GRUB boot loader fails to load. I'm directly taken into Windows. How do I recover GRUB so I have the option of loading into RHEL-5?

I've installed RHEL 5.3 on a Dell Desktop. I don't want to install GRUB to the MBR. Is there a way to boot up RHEL from a floppy?I've installed GRUB on to a floppy but not having much luck starting up RHEL. In the past Slackware has allowed me to startup the kernel from a floppy using LILO. I was hoping that there is way for RHEL too.

shut down my RHEL 4 system with an error still present in the /etc/fstab file. Current symptom: When I now try to boot, everything hangs when "Enabling swap space". Highly likely, the reason is the failure to "Mount local filesystems" in the previous step (i.e. "mount point 0 does not exist" = error due to my incorrect line in the /etc/fstab file).Question: Is there any way that I can still boot my system, such that I can remove the incorrect line in the /etc/fstab file?

trying to triple boot XP, Ubuntu, RHEL 5.4but unable to bring every thing in boot loader.* It loads XP with Ubuntu successfully or XP with RHEL 5.4 but not all the three.* when I install XP followed by Ubuntu then RHEL, I am not having a primary partition to install RHEL. It stops there.* I tried to copy the kernel path of ubuntu from grub.cfg in ubuntu and tried to edit in grub.conf file of rhel and added an entry but it displays in boot loader [start screen where it displays all OS listed] but unable to boot ubuntu [unable to load ubuntu kernel].Current situation reformat all Linux partitions and installed Ubuntu with below partition. installed successful. But rhel not installed due to error.Partition table:

I am running RHEL 5 on Vmware Workstation. That is i inslled Vmware Workstation on windows 7 and then in Vmware i installed RHEL 5 as a virtal machine. By mistake i made some wrong entry in my /etc/fstab file that is i was trying to automatically mount one folder under another folder. My syntax was wrong. So when i restart my RHEL 5 , at the boot time due to wrong entry in /etc/fstab system is giving file system error as follows:

We have not actually purchased support on a 2nd seat yet, so I can't go to them for this yet, and purchasing the seat may be silly if the machine can't run the OS.
I have tried several times to install RHEL 6 workstation onto a server machine. It has a dual drive RAID filesystem, whose configuration I had nothing to do with. The install procedes nicely but Displays a mdam error 127 before shutting down for the first real boot.
When booting a weird progress bar with at least 3 colors proceding at different rates displays for about 5 seconds followed by a very verbose kernel panic error which mentions tainted swap and scheduling while atomic. I suspect the error that caused the mess runs off screen too quickly to record.
Does anybody have a clue what might be happening? Even if I install minimal this happens so it appears to be a very low level hardware problem rather than a corrupt package.
I should mention that the machine runs on ubuntu 10.10 just fine, but my Lab PI wants to run it as a redhat system.
