Hi All

After upgrading to 7.2, I'm getting an immediate kernel panic on boot

Dropping back to 3.10.0-229.20.1.el7.x86_64 and the system boots fine

How can I go about diagnosing the problem here?

thanks

Duncan


No joy unfortunately, the correct initramfs is there

I tried reinstalling just in case, but no change


any additional kernel modules installed?

Hi Leon

I'm running kmod-nvidia and kmod-forcedeth from elrepo

The nvidia-kmod had an update to work with the new kernel, the 
forcedeth did not but as far as I can tell it didn't need one. (also 
why on earth the forcedeth module has gone from the stock kernel in 7 
I have no idea)


The first thing I tried however was uninstalling both, but I'm still 
getting the same panic


Is there any way of logging it so I can see exactly what the panic says?

thanks all

Duncan

Mine booted successfully after update to 7.2 CR.  I am also using a 
Nvidia kmod from elrepo, no forcedeth though.

kernel-3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.96-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64

Did you rebuild initrd after removing the kmod packages?

Re: [CentOS] beeps and a slow boot

2014-07-09 Thread Fred Wittekind
Cracking the case shouldn't be feared, I've done it many times, and I've 
almost never damaged anything.

Recommendations:
Unplug it (I've seen this in previous posts), it used to be better to 
leave it plugged in pre-ATX, given ATX's always powered on to some 
extent, it's best to unplug it completely.

How much static charge you have doesn't really matter, as long as you 
have the same charge as the equipment you are working on.  Be very aware 
of this, you want to make sure to keep your charge equal to the 
equipment you are working on.  This is the function of anti-static 
bracelets.  Assuming you don't have one, just keep one hand on the 
chassis of the computer while you work, or touch the chassis often.  And 
don't move around in such a way as to build up charge, and if you do, 
touch the chassis again.  I/O card have chassis too, it's the hanger 
bracket.  Anti-static bags also also a way to equalize charge with the 
component inside the bag, just by holding on to the bag.  If you have to 
lay a part down on a table, lay it on a anti-static bag.

Be careful, don't use too much force.  If something seems to take a lot 
of force, your probably not doing it right.

Dust can cause you many problems, keep the dust out of the equipment.  
Make sure connectors are free of dust before connecting them.  Canned 
air is good for this purpose.

Work slow and careful, be sure of what you are doing.  If something 
takes longer to use a little extra care, then it takes longer.

Fear of cracking a computer case can actually itself result in damage to 
expensive parts.  I've inherited plenty of equipment because of problems 
caused by dust.

You can bridge two bonds together, and enable STP to prevent a loop. 
Although, don't get it wrong on a production network, it's not pretty.

Re: [CentOS] Air Conditioning - ON!

2011-02-22 Thread Fred Wittekind
I understand how answering everyone's requests for progress updates can
slow a development process, I've been on the development side of that
before.   I want a progress report as much as anyone I'm sure (and so
does my boss), but, I'm not going to ask for it.   I instead spend a
little time, and do a bit of digging, and can find enough of an answer. 
I think though, I have had better luck finding progress information on
CentOS than I did when I was waiting on upstream to release 6 (of course
they had betas, and maybe I just didn't look in the right place, but I
didn't find much status information).  Committing to a product launch
date, then trying to patch the product after the fact is IMHO a bad
thing, and I'm glad upstream & CentOS do not do this.

I can think of some suggestions of my own to maybe help the development
process and community involvement (as I'm sure a so can a great many
people), but I will keep those to myself for now.  Trying to change
anything major now will only significantly slow things down.

CentOS team, you have my understanding, and my appreciation for your
hard work, and I look forward to being able to use the product of that
work when it's ready.

[CentOS] GFS performance issue

2010-07-19 Thread Fred Wittekind
 Two web servers, both virtualized with CentOS Xen servers as host
(residing on two different physical servers). 
GFS used to store home directories containing web document roots.

Shared block device used by GFS is an ISCSI target with the ISCSI
initiator residing on the Dom-0, and presented to Dom-U webservers as
drives.
Also, providing a second shared block device for quorum disk.

If I hit the web site on just one of the nodes, it behaves as expected. 
If I try to load the websites from both nodes at the same time (two web
browser instances), the load average on both nodes spikes, and page
loads very slowly.  The site I am trying to host is very high traffic,
and if the servers can be nearly brought to there knees with two web
browser instances running on a single workstation, that's not going to work.

I am not seeing any error messages in the logs regarding the cluster.

Any help or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue would be
greatly appreciated.
