I have a plain vanilla Centos source (not 100% sure where we got it from), but I can't seem to get a build that installs correctly. I tried the method described at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel, but rpm doesn't like the output file, and even if I install it with -F, nothing seems to happen - no new kernel, now initrd, nothing. When I tried following the directions in the

Hello..I am not very proficient in Linux kernel stuffs although I know my basics. I have a question and all suggestions/solutions will be highly appreciated... I got to know that RHEL 5 has inbuilt Xen Support...So I tried to install a RHEL 5.0 Server on my P4 machine. On top of it I tried to install Xen specific RPMs and some other RPMs needed by Xen. The additinal RPMs added after base

Background: This is a dual boot (Windows XP and CentOS 5.2 (32 bit) box. There were four (4) NTFS partitions. The C partition got full. I deleted the 4 NTFS partitions and did a clean install of Windows XP, into one (1) NTFS partition. I knew that I would need to install GRUB again and I did that, using the CentOS 5 Installation DVD. When I tried to boot into Linux, no joy. this is the GRUB error

I've been going along not noticing things happening right under my nose. so imagine my surprise when I discovered last night that my Centos 5 box has installed multiple new kernels over the last few months, as updates come out, and IT IS NOT BOOTING THE NEWST ONE. grub.conf says to boot kernel 0, and 0 is the newest one. but the one it actually boots is 6 or 8 down the list (clearly I've

There was a discussion here several days ago that was precipitated by my decision to manually install the new kernel before YUMming the upgrade to CentOS 4.2. The upgrade went south but I recovered by doing a fresh install and a bunch of copying from backups. All's well EXCEPT that I'm back in the same "box", thanks to anaconda. I set out to upgrade kernels this morning:

I''ve spent the past while researching this but I''m just not finding a solution. I''ve been trying to get my xen kernel booting on a pretty much stock CentOS 4.4 installation. I installed Xen from src rpm and installed all the requisite software and I''m sure it''s with the ram disk but I can''t figure out how to resolve this. With a stock kernel

HI, I always get a grub prompt ,after I installed 2nd processor to the Server IBM x3610 At the grub prompt, I always have to issue below commands. Then, Server starts successfully. grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 grub> kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5PAE [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x1bb714] grub> initrd

I have a server running Centos 4.7 32bit. Will moving from 4Gig of RAM to 8Gig do any good? Since its 32bit I assume it will only be able to address the first 4Gig not? When I installed CentOS I did not do anything special to enable using more then 4Gig if thats required. Exim, spamassassin and Clamd seem to be the biggest load on this machine. My biggest bottle neck is disk I/O anyway. Wish

Hi all, I compiled and installed Xen 3.2 source on FC8. Compilation and installation completed with no errors. However when I try to load Xen I get an error: Kernel panic - Attempted to kill init !!! This is my grub configuration: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means

Hi, I downloaded XEN 3.1 source code on a fedora 6 machine. I did # make world # make install It did not give me an error then when I restarted the machine the Grub did not have 2 options. It had only one option that was the kernel. On loading the OS, when i gave # xend it gives the following errors: [root@localhost sbin]# xend ERROR Internal error: Could not obtain handle on privileged command

I started a new thread since the original one is getting rather long. I have retrieved the files I deleted in /boot and /boot/grub, however I need to make links for /boot/System.map (System.map -> System.map-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/vmlinuz (vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/grub/menu.lst (menu.lst -> ./grub.conf) If it was not so important to get it correct, I would appreciate

Hello, I''m using Red Hat AS 5 with Xen 3.0, and sometimes ''xm console'' does not work, the most of times when I''m trying to connect one full-virt machine with different arch from server, for example: [root@xen-5 ~]# xm list Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 1933 8

Hello, I FINALLY got Xen working with VT-d. I compiled Xen-unstable (3.3) from Mercurial on CentOS 5.2, but compiled my own kernel-xen from the latest CentOS SRPM. (Made sure pciback was built-in and not a module, as the stock kernel-xen has it as a module.) I''m probably going to write a how-to soon, so stay tuned! I have a JMicron SATA/PATA PCI Express controller with a DQ35JO
