Hello everyone,
For checking cluster functionality I did reset one of the servers.
Not that good idea, because he does not boot now anymore.
He stops with this Kernel panic:
RAMDISK : ran out of compressed data
That suggests to me that the initrd file is shorter than it should be.
invalid compressed format (err=1)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block (0,0)
Did something destroy the initrd-image? Or what did happen?
Is the /boot partition full? Can you boot an old kernel?
I don't think so. I actually make an image of the HDDs. After that I'll check
this.
No there's no old kernel to boot. It's a pretty fresh installation of RHEL5
Kernel 2.6.18-53.
I'll try if I can copy an image of the /boot-partition from the second server
to this one. They should be the same.
Any idea, what could have caused this?

Florian
I would install the install media in rescue mode and do a filesystem check.
I would then mount the system rw (still running the CD), chroot in, then
rebuilt the initrd.
A command modeled on this will show an adequate command:
rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.EL --scripts
