CentOS 5 :: Install, Recurring Kernel Panics Crashing System?

Dec 27, 2009

Recently switched my home server from Gentoo to CentOS and have been getting kernel panics consistently since I made the server "live". The machine was built with all new hardware. I'll post relevant configuration info and picture of the kernel panic below. So far all kernel panics have been with kernel "2.6.18-164.9.1.el5.centos.plus", right now I am testing with the kernel listed below to see if it does the same thing (2.6.18-164.9.1.el5).

justin@empire justin $ uname -rmi
2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 x86_64 x86_64
justin@empire justin $ rpm -qa |grep kernel |sort
kernel-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5
kernel-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5.centos.plus
kernel-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5

CentOS 5 :: Install DVD Starts And Then Kernel Panics

Apr 29, 2009

I'm trying to use and old Dell Dimension 2350 workstation with 1GB of RAM and a 200GB drive as a home server. I boot the CentOS 5.3 install DVD, get to the splash screen and hit ENTER to start the install. The install routine starts and then kernel panics with a very long trace I can't make sense of. I've used the DVD for other installs so I know the media is good.Are there any known quirks to installing linux on a Dimension 2350? Maybe some kernel line parameters like no acpi?? As a test, I took an Ubuntu server cd, and the install actually completed but on reboot it kernel panicked with a similar long trace error. Obviously this is most likely a hardware issue.

CentOS 5 :: Random Kernel Panics / Correct It?

Jul 8, 2009

I'm running CentOS 5.3 x86_64 on my laptop (dell vostro 1400, core2duo, 3GB RAM, intel 3945ABG wireless, nvidia video and LAN). The problem is that some times (like 15-20% of times) I shutdown the laptop, I get a kernel panic related always to the wireless kernel module (I haven't been able to get screenshot or anything). I'm using the latest centosplus kernel. I never get these panics with the standard CentOS kernel, however the standard kernel doesn't light the wireless led, and that annoys me a lot. Therefore I'm forced to use centosplus kernel. The question is not how to solve this (i know I've not given enough details) but what to do to diagnose better the cause of the panic and then correct it.

Fedora Installation :: Kernel Panics On Both LiveCD And Install DVD

OpenSUSE Install :: Update To 11.3 And Getting Kernel Panics Randomly

Jul 22, 2010

Since the update to 11.3 i'm getting kernel panics randomly. Because the X server freezes and I can only force an "unexpected reboot", there is not much information I have. I installed kdump and activated it with the Yast module. I'm collecting dump files, now. But I'm not sure what to do with does files.

The machine has completed more than 30 hours of HD cleaning with DBAN (overwrites the HD). It used to be able to run F9 or Ubuntu 8.04 but always returned kernel panic during other distro installation attempts. Why after a complete HD clean though?

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.4 Xen Kernel Aacraid Drive Panics With Adaptec ServeRAID 8k-l

Mar 28, 2011

I have loaded openSuSE 11.4 on an IBM x3400 box with an Adaptec ServeRAID 8k-l SAS harddisk adapter. openSuSE 11.1 was previously loaded on this box and was using XEN kernels.) The default "desktop" kernel boots and operates correctly. I use this machine to run other XEN virtual machines to run different versions or our companies printer controller application. When I attempt to boot the xen kernel, the kernel cannot locate the root partition (or any other partition) on the hard disk. Here are a few lines of kernel output:

Fedora :: Make 'yum Update' On CentOS Recurring And Automatic?

Dec 10, 2010

I run a few dozen dedicated web servers all running CentOS 5.5. A long time ago when one server was apparently compromised, I was urgently advised to sign in to the server and run "yum update" at least once a week to ensure that everything which I had installed using "yum", would get updated with any recently available updates, including security fixes, and that one reason I might have been hacked before was because I hadn't been doing that.

So, I'm still not sure if that would have prevented the original break-in, or how much this has reduced my chances of being hacked, but I've been faithfully signing in to each server every week for the past few months and running "yum udpate". Most times, this results in a lot of patches being downloaded and applied, so it's clear the machines are not doing it automatically. I figure it's about time to learn how to make the machines do this on their own. Is there a standard way to make "yum update" run automatically, every day, or every week? Yes, I'm sure there are many ways to do it, but is there a single way used by the majority of webmasters of CentOS sites who have automatic updates set up? Googling a bit for "make yum updates automatic" turned up some threads like:

[code]...

in which people describe writing their own custom scripts to do yum update automatically. This seems odd. It seems like the kind of thing that there would be a standard way to turn on. Also, is there a reason that virtually every newly provisioned dedicated server does not have "yum update" set up to recur automatically? If it's true that people break into websites using exploits that have been found in older versions of webservers and other software, and that sometimes these breakins would have been prevented by the newest patches, wouldn't it reduce the number of websites being compromised if the OS had yum updates turned on automatically by default?

Ubuntu :: Getting Kernel Panics While Booting From LiveCD / USB

Feb 17, 2011

I just built a computer with these specs:
Asus P7P55D-E Pro Mother Board
2 x 4gb GSkill RipJaw 1333
Intel Core i5-760 cpu
MSI nVidia GeFore GTX-460 Video Card

When I try to boot from a live CD/USB I always get some sort of kernel panic, most times about USB controllers and other times about cpu_idle. I have pictures of these that I can post but nothing from any logs because this is happening even before I install. I have left memtest running over night for 11 hours and had no problems, I have tried to boot with only one stick of memory, I have changed the video card to a GeForce 8800 and I have tried everything on a different motherboard and still no luck. Would I wrong to say that there is a problem with the CPU and should I return it? My only problem with all of this is that Windows installs perfectly fine on the computer with zero problems...weird.

Ubuntu :: Kernel Panics In Natty All The Time?

May 10, 2011

I have been a happy Ubuntu and other distros user from 2007 to now. Had my old 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu Studio actually) that I really felt was time to upgrade. Then I downloaded the ISO image for 11.04 Natty Narwhal past 4 day ago. It gave me an option to install on my old 7.10, upgrading it, then I chose that one not to have to lose my data.

At the very end of the installation (when downloading several packages from the net) I got a kernel panic.
After that I reinstalled from zero wiping the whole partition, with the same results. It only worked when I disconnected the net cable so it wouldn't download anything during install. Then I could run the 11.04, but kept getting kernel panics, and after some testings (I thought it was the nvidia video drivers at first) I think it happens after some ammount of network traffic happens.

Memtest went normal, I tried logging with no-effects and I tried some solutions from forums with no results. The pc can be on and working for hours, but after I start surfing the web for some time, I get a freeze. Sometimes Caps Lock and Scroll Lock leds are flashing, and sometimes just freezes to simply become unresponsive. When it was during the installation I got a message saying it would pop out into console because panic occured and then froze. Anyway I always have to press the reset button.

I would like to be sure if I have some of my hardware broken or if the newest kernel is still green on some hardware support; maybe network. I'd also like to know if I can install older versions of the kernel; I think that should fix the problem because other distros worked perfectly here before. I also heard about some kernel-image-pae being different from the ordinary kernel image. Could it help if I change that package? I'm waiting to install 11.04 in my wife's computer also but of course I don't want to bring any problems on her! My net card is Nvidia Nforce and my processor is AMD Athlon II X2 with a GForce 9400 for video card.

General :: App Segfaults Every LiveCD/DVD Kernel Panics?

Jan 23, 2011

My friend's PC recently started acting up. He had me install Sabayon on it and everything was fine until a few days ago. Every app I try to run after the PC boots results in a segmentation fault. I figured maybe something was wrong with the HDD, so I tried to boot from a DSL liveCD to run fsck, but it wouldn't boot; it freezes right away. I then tried the Sabayon LiveDVD and got a kernel panic.Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? I am completely clueless; I've never had anything like this happen before.

General :: Kernel Panics - RAID Or XFS Related?

Jun 21, 2010

After building a new system I have been getting kernel panics randomly. I have been able to look at /var/log/messages and determine that either my RAID card, XFS, or something along those lines is causing the problem. It has now gotten bad enough that any heavy use of the RAID will cause it to panic and die.

There is one large file on this that I need which is not on my backups but when I try to get it off, the transfer will cause a kernel panic within minutes. What is causing the panic? Is there any way to resolve it? The RAID card is an LSI SAS3081E-R and I am using the built in drivers/modules within Ubuntu 10.04 x64 (pretty sure the kernel itself has the driver included). There is source available for the driver from LSI's site but I'm not sure if that will solve the problem and in addition to that, I can't figure out how to compile and install it. It has a Makefile already but make just complains "no targets".

Code:
Jun 21 13:00:22 cyan kernel: [ 706.206498] ffff88019652daf8 ffff88018ff61698 ffff8801935ddd50 ffffea00038f6650

Ubuntu Networking :: 64 Bit Bcm4311 Wireless Random Kernel Panics?

Sep 22, 2010

I have this weird issue which only appears when I am using 64 bit Ubuntu. Every now and then my laptop seems to go into a kernel panic (system unresponsive, numlock and scrollock lights flash repetitively) only when I am using the broadcom wireless. I can connect to my wireless router and use the internet and local network, but eventually, kablamo, crash, bang, boom. The only way out of the crash is to power off completely. After repowering, the wireless network is fine until the next crash. There does not seem to be a pattern or time period to cause this crash either. I have purged network manager(which I couldn't get to use my wireless) and am using wicd, which allows me to connect wirelessly.

Here is the details of my system:

Dell inspiron 1520
lspci (snipped)
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)

Ubuntu Installation :: Firefox Started To Crash Randomly And Led To Kernel Panics

Aug 2, 2011

A while ago, when I was using Maverick, Firefox started to crash randomly and led to kernel panics.

So I upgraded to Natty (clean install) and Firefox there too crashed.

Then I was getting graphics and make problems.

Today I tried to install Fedora 15. It first boots to a Live desktop that warned me that my hard drive had 65000+ bad sectors. Sixty-five thousand.

So I got a new one. A WD Scorpio Black, 750GB 7200RPM with Advanced Format.

Again I boot into Fedora 15. OK, no bad sectors. I tried to run Disk Utility Self Tests but it constantly crashed. Fedora warns you about this.

In the Live session, I opened Firefox. It also crashed just like back in Ubuntu. Then the screen flashes black and got warnings after warnings that a kernel module has crashed.

So I took out my old Maverick installation CD and first tried a Live session. However, Disk Utility told me that SMART is not supported while on Fedora, it was.

So I tried to install. But soon after that, I got a warning that the installer has crashed because a file copied to the disk did not match the file on CD. Right now I am in the Maverick Live session.

Ubuntu Installation :: Operating System Crashing / Freezing After New Install

Feb 16, 2011

I have a fresh install of Maverick on a Toshiba r700 laptop PT310A-05N011. I am experiencing constant freezing. The computer will without warning completely freeze. Can not move the mouse or even drop to a tty shell. After about 5 seconds the fan will spin up to full speed. I then have to do a hard shutdown. Every time this has happened i have been connected up to a wireless network with firefox open while actively surfing the net. This issue did not happen before I installed the wireless driver (Broadcomm proprietary, downloaded through ubuntu Additional Drivers).

I'm not sure how relevant that is though as 90% of what i do on this laptop is surfing and i installed the driver a few hours after install. This freezing does not happen in windows 7 and I have left it running prime95 overnight once in both 7 and ubuntu without error. Does anyone know what this may be, how i might resolve it or steps I can take to diagnose it, logs i can check?

CentOS 5 :: CentOS Auto Update Kernel And Reboot System?

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.

Hardware :: Ata_piix Timeout On Flagstone SATA / Repeating Error Until Kernel Eventually "panics"?

When trying to install RHEL 5.4 on a Flagstone SATA (encrypted hard disk), linux timeouts while loading the ata_piix module.

The above message is repeated several times until the kernel eventually "panics".If I use a non-encrypted SATA (Maxtor, Fujitsu, etc), the install works. It only fails with Flagstone SATA encrypted hard disks.

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.

OpenSUSE Install :: Broken System After Install Of Kernel Sources And Restart?

Ubuntu :: Kernel Bug - Multiple Mail Clients Crashing 10.04?

Aug 18, 2010

Over the past week or so, I've posted a few message about what looked like general stability problems in lucid, then problems specifically with Thunderbird.

Today I found it isn't just Thunderbird. I tried Claws Mail and Kmail, and all of them exhibit the same symptoms as Thunderbird:

- The app randomly hangs, crashes or stops connecting to the mail server.

- Quitting the app randomly takes down other applications. (Uh-oh -- modern OSs are supposed to prevent one application from corrupting another.)

- Once the problems start, any application is likely to have stability problems -- e.g., this morning, when Kmail started buggering up, I launched the software center to uninstall it and the window never appeared. A box showed up in the window panel at the bottom of the screen at first, but when it was time to draw the window, kaboom.

(I'm currently not using Evolution because of issues with syncing message deletion back to the server. Plus, at least once, Evolution lost its connection to the mail server. I don't remember serious instability with it, but I wasn't looking for the instability either. It might well be just as bad as the others.)

So, we have an issue triggered by multiple applications, and the issue is not limited to one unstable process on the machine (one unstable process makes other processes unstable). That smells like a kernel bug.

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this? I'm using the amd64 version on a MSI A6200, Intel Core i3 processor. I'll have to doublecheck the kernel version. When I installed the OS, it was (something-something).21 and now (after the first round of automatic system updates) it's .24 - "something-something" is whatever the standard kernel is when you download the amd64 CDROM image.

As long as I'm not running a mail client (apparently, any mail client), the system is stable. So it looks very much like there is something that mail clients do, which other applications tend not to do, which is broken.
