[CentOS] Latest CentOS does not boot, Proliant ML330 G6
Hello all. I just upgraded to the latest and tried to reboot: kernel panic and dead as a brick. Luckily GRUB still works and booting the to the next option in boot menu succeeds. How can this be? This OS is assumed to be solid as a brick :) br. jarif -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

This OS is assumed to be solid as a brick :)So to diagnose this problem there needs to be a lot more information supplied: CPU type Memory Additional cards? Where does it kernel panic? [Starting up network? Starting up disk drives? Video?] That can help determine what went borked.> br. jarif > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >-- Stephen J Smoogen.

This OS is assumed to be solid as a brick :)It's hard to diagnose if the only thing you say is that it panicked. If it's panicking because it can't find the root disk, then that's a completely different issue than it panicking when it loads a particular driver. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

We had an issue about a year ago, where, in spite of exclude kernel, someone other than me ran an update, or there was some auto-update, I don't remember, and it appeared to *partly* install the kernel... and did not appear to do any post-install actions (like building the ramdisk). I reinstalled the kernel, with my usual disableexcludes=all, and the upgrade succeeded, and all was good. mark

I?m now running yum-complete-transaction and then trying to boot. Hard to say what it panicked for, as anything in /var/log/ tells afterwards?
