Hello, I have been having problems using kernels since 2.6.9-34.0.2. After updating to a new kernel, my system runs, I'm guessing, 6 - 8 hours fine, then becomes unresponsive. For example, I installed the latest kernel the other evening, reboot for the changes and by morning, the system appears to be locked up. Typing 'yum update' takes about 10 minutes to execute. Not sure whats going on here but I'm stuck using 2.6.9-34.0.2. This is a centos 4.4 system on an IBM NetVista, 2.53 Ghz, 1GB RAM. I have noticed when there is a kernel update, it downloads the huge memeory and smp files. TIA Eddie
I am having same problem on an IBM thinkcentre and intermittently on an HP nw8240 laptop.

Hi there, we have the same problem here on IBM x305 (all other servers run without problems). Logging in throug ssh results in an "key exchange blah blah" failure. Did anyone else notice this behaviour ? On Thu, 2007-02-01 at 07:05 -0500, Thomas Dukes wrote:> Hello, > > I have been having problems using kernels since 2.6.9-34.0.2.

Boot your system with the 'noapic' flag. It only seems to affect machines with IDE drives, if you have SATA, SCSI or FC drives then you are fine. -- Jeff Stacey UNIX Administrator James Richardson International
