One of my VPS stopped working. After the data centre replaced a disk normal service resumed, then I notices this: CentOS release 5.5 (Final) Kernel 2.6.35.4 on an x86_64 I always thought Centos 5.x would always be on 2.6.18. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?uname -a should give the 2.6.18-xxx.y.z.el5 (with .centos.plus optionally) or you're not running a RH/CentOS/SL kernel. Check you /boot and grub.conf for whether you have the current kernel at all (2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.centos.plus in my case) ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Any thoughts?Depending on what sort of VM system the data centre uses, it is possible to have a non-standard kernel. This is my VPS (CentOS 4.8): sauron.deepsoft.com% ssh sharky.deepsoft.com cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.8 (Final) sauron.deepsoft.com% ssh sharky.deepsoft.com uname -r 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5.028stab070.7 *I* don't have control over the kernel -- this is set up as part of the virtual machine setup, by the people I am renting the VPS from.> > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > >-- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller at deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments
