Red Hat / Fedora :: Server Rebooting No Kernel Panic Halt?
May 14, 2010We have a server running CentOS 5 Linux 2.6.18-128.1.16.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Jun 30 06:39:23 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU Linux. We've seen at random times that the server will just reboot and nothing is logged in messages. I tried to enable kdump but was only able to get a 5.4 gig dump since our /var directory is set to 10GB. Here is the messages I see before and after the server restart. I had thought that when a kernel panics, it is supposed to halt the system and not reboot it. My /proc/sys/kernel/panic is set to 0. I can run an update but want to have some sort of idea what is causing the issue and if the update will fix anything.

CentOS 5 :: Xen Not Starting - After Doing A Regular Software Update On A 5.5 Box - And Rebooting
Jun 21, 2010After doing a regular software update on a 5.5 box (and rebooting), I now have problems starting xen (version "xen-3.0.3-105.el5_5.3.x86_64").
Running "/etc/init.d/xend start" yields no output, and checking the script, I see that the script halts if "/proc/xen" doesn't exist.
Checking the filesystem, I find that the "/proc/xen" entry is indeed gone. Restarting the CentOS box does not help.
Should I reinstall Xen? If so, should I remove any portions of Xen before I do?
Update:
When I run /usr/sbin/xend I get:

Jan 7, 2010At the moment I am using kernel 2.6.31-14-generic. I'm not one of those people who needs to have the latest and greatest kernel to be happy, I just rely on the update manager. I swore that I saw an update for a new kernel, but my kernel version hasn't changed. I'm just curious if there was a new kernel that was released or if that was just an update to the kernel listed above.

Feb 5, 20109.04 this morning updated my kernel to I believe it is 2.6.28.18 and upon the reboot I had no desktop. It booted wanting to go into low graphics.
So I drop to shell and stop the gdm and try to run the latest nvidia run file I have and it hangs saying I have a x server running.
Otherwise I am needing assistance with getting my desktop back! I can boot into an older kernel and if need be I would like to roll back that latest update this morning, but once again I am forgetting the command line for that.
Ubuntu :: No Bootloader After Kernel Update - Update-grub Hangs
Dec 1, 2010Ran the updater, went to boot to Win7 to use Photoshop and realized that the grub menu was gone. Ubuntu boots by default now. I tried running "sudo update-grub" at a virtual terminal and while it listed the various linux kernels ok, it then got caught in a loop spitting out some crazy looking errors. I rebooted and Ubuntu came up fine. I tried running "sudo update-grub" again from the gnome terminal and it hangs the whole computer for a few minutes and finally gives me this:

Dec 31, 2008I 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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Update The Kernel Of 9.10 To That Of 10.04?
Aug 25, 2010I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I use a Huawei EC1260 modem, which fails to work (but can be made to work by typing some commands). The current version of kernel on 9.10 is 2.6.31-14-generic. An upgrade to 2.6.31-22-generic worsened the matter and even broke the workarounds that I used for the modem.
I want to upgrade to the kernel to that of 10.04 to resolve this (I will not upgrade to Lucid as there the experience is painful - it hangs most of the time and I do not have time to fix things). Or, maybe, a downgrade to 2.6.28-11 (the kernel of Jaunty)?
How will I do this? Is there any adverse effect that may occur due to the update?
Ubuntu :: 10.04 Update Kernel Or Not?
Oct 6, 2010I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with 2.6.32-25-generic-pae (32 bits with 4 Gigs).
System is performing well, except that I can't make work a USB bluetooth dongle (maybe incompatible) and have some issues with the Touchpad.
I have an ASUS UL30-A with an Elantech Touchpad that is being detected as a PS/2 mouse. The issue with it is that Synaptic doesn't recognize it, so I can't disable it except with sudo modprobe -r psmouse.
This issue is already reported and fixed with kernel 2.6.34-rc7 or later.
How can I, in a easy way (a repo?), update the kernel of 10.04 Remember that I'm using 10.04 with PAE?
I did some Google first as usual, but all I found was some .debs from unknown sources and without PAE.
What should I do?
10.10 is about to being released and (I think) it has this newer kernel. Anyways, I prefer to stick to 10.04 LTS, so IDK yet how Ubuntu releases new kernels versions on "old" Ubuntu releases. At least this kind of 'major' updates.
Is there any official/beta repository to upgrade the Kernel of Lucid that I'm missing?
Ubuntu :: How To Update My Kernel
Jan 16, 2011I'm seeing all these people have 2.6.35-25 now. I still have 2.6.35-24. I don't see it in synaptic, and I tried to do a dist-upgrade in apt-get, but nothing.
I'm really eager to try the latest kernel, since there is a glitch with touch-screen calibration on rotation in this one, and I heard it was supposed to be fixed.
How does everyone have 2.6.35-25 and I don't?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Kernel Update To 2.6.32-26 Creates?
Dec 2, 2010Is anyone else having problems with the new 2.6.32-26 kernel and Lucid LTS? I first installed it several days ago on a test system and it immediately killed VirtualBox, since the header files necessary to rebuild the vbox modules were not included in the update. I installed the header files via Synaptic and everything then worked properly, so this morning I allowed my production system to install the updates.
That was a mistake. Immediately upon the required reboot, my GUI failed to appear. Eventually I got a CLI login on TTY1, and attempted to use "startx" to launch the GUI. It failed with a message that the nvidia driver could not be found.
Rebooting and choosing the older kernel version cured all the problems, but for now the security update provided by the new kernel is unavailable to me. This is NOT the reliability I have come to expect from Ubuntu's long term support and update notifications!
Ubuntu :: Can't Boot After Kernel Update
Mar 5, 2011I have used Ubuntu since 8.04 LTS on my IBM T30 and A31 for almost three years now but recently all of them have problems with kernel updates(? maybe I am wrong but it was very clear that they failed after a kernel update). I have tried all three solutions provided by [URL] but none worked for me. My last A31 failed to boot yesterday after some updates (I noticed that there was a kernel update). It has 10.04 LTS on sda5. Dual boot (Windows XP on sda1 but rarely use it). Now it can't load kernel. What shows on the screen is:
GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu7 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. On the other T30 I had the same problem. I installed Windows XP and clean installed Linux Mint 8 and so far it is working alright. But on this machine I have an unfinished project that I really want to save it.
