All, I have a fresh CentOS 5.2 server that I am just starting to customize, it is very close to stock. This morning I ran yum update: ============================================================================Installing: kernel-xen i686 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 updates 15 M Updating: samba i386 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 updates 16 M samba-client i386 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 updates 4.9 M samba-common i386 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 updates 8.7 M After rebooting, Samba would not start, running 'service smb start' simply hangs forever, nothing in the logs I could find and I could see from ps that smbd was never forking to release the start script. I discovered that if I boot using the previous kernel 2.6.18-92.1.1.el5xen all is well. I did try regressing samba by uninstalling and then installing disabling the updates repo to no avail, the older version (1.1) of Samba was installed when I tried booting the older kernel, which did work, as well as the updated version (1.6).

There was an rpmnew question during the update. Could that be the problem? Anne
