Thanks for the belated info, anyway. But this doesn't seem to apply here. No 
crypto fs and no problem with mkinitrd at all. It didn't happen with all the 
earlier updates, just this one, and there was no indication during the 
install that there was a problem. I just noticed it before reboot because I 
have to adjust the xen kernel line after each kernel upgrade.

[I saw this thread in the mailing list archives, but wasn't subscribed
at the time, so sorry it's not a proper follow-up.]

The symptoms you describe could be a side effect of being previously hit by
 and
.

Those bug items describe workarounds.  After you get mkinitrd upgraded
to that in 5.3 the problem should go away, although you may have to 
manually fix up the results of the bad kernel install.

That has been there since RedHat switched from lilo to grub. Either there was
some hard coded stuff they didn't want to mess with, or the anaconda team and
the grub conversion team didn't communicate very well. That had to be back at
least to RedHat 7.0, if not in the 6's.

It seems to default to kernel* as I have clearly seen xen kernels 
announced for removal. All the yum.conf files are the same on my machines.
I lied about what I wrote about the kernels that got kept. It's always 5 
on the amchiens that have existed for some time. This fits with the 
installonly_limit = 5 in all yum.conf files. On the one machine with the 
problem it's 4 kernels, I think it hasn't reached more yet.
Anyway, it remains a mystery why grub.conf didn't get updated here. I will 
check again with next kernel ...

No, they are the same in this respect. I'm not seeing any difference.
There is a difference between systems (no matter which arch) when the 
/etc/grub.conf symlink got created.
On all my systems it seems to be identical in date with the grub files in 
/boot/grub which seems to be the date of installation. But on the system I 
have this problem it's some months later.

Well, at least you didn't spoil a perfectly good Friday for me. A
symlink is something I can do.

Hmmm... Maybe the *64 systems are different? I'm on a 686. A rpm -q
--filesbypkg grub doesn't show anything in /etc.  And an rpm -v --verify
grub looks ok too.

How much can I trust this stuff? The --verify shows /boot/grub but
nothing in the directory itself - no /boot/grub/menu.lst
or /boot/grub/grub.conf. And a --whatprovides on those two files claims
no package owns them.

I guess they are not delivered as part of the package, but constructed
during install.

/etc/yum.conf

The installonlypkgs and installonly_limit keywords. The first, according
to man yum.conf, defaults to kernel, kernel-smp, kernel-bigmem,
kernel-enterprise, kernel-debug, kernel-unsupported and the latter to 3.

And as I already mentioned in my first posting this file *got* touched. The 
last 
modified date got changed, but not the file itself. Comparing it with a file on 
another machine doesn't reveaL any obvious differences. Specifically, the 
default 
entry that should get used as a template is exactly the same, even with the 
tabs, 
only the root path is different.
Comparing the /boot directories I recognize now that I have 3 kernels left on a 
machine where it worked, but 4 on the machine where grub.conf didn't get 
updated.
This is obviously not set in /etc/sysconfig/kernel. Is this a yum setting? I 
remember there is configuration how many kernels to keep, but I can't  find it.

Two things. Probably doesn't make any difference, but we never should
assume.

AFAIK, my 5.3 is completely "box stock" in this area, and probably 98%
of others too. I have no /etc/grub*. 

   $ ls -l /etc/grub*
   ls: /etc/grub*: No such file or directory

I also checked my 4.6 Centos. It has the /boot/grub[mg]* relationship
reversed (menu.lst->grub.conf). I presume that's OK for 4.x as it is
also "as delivered" AFAIK.

It *does* have an /etc/grub.conf->../boot/grub/grub.conf

So I'm guessing your is left over from an update from 4.x->5.x? But
again, I don't have any information that this would affect anything.

I thought they would be worth mentioning only because mine has upgraded
trouble-free (one exception back when sqllite(?) needed to be upgraded
before the normal one) from 5.0->5.3. I did do the glibc thing first,
which should not have an effect on this I guess.

Since *lots* of other folks have also upgraded w/NP, one makes a first
assumption that something must be slightly different on your node.

Re: [CentOS] kernel update doesn't update grub.conf

2009-04-07 Thread lincohn john

I just updated kernel manually last evening: that is, directly using rpm and it 
did update the grub.conf. Well, you can always manually edit the grub.conf 
file, right?

BTW: I managed to install 5.3 on the very first generation MAC PRO (xeon 2.66, 
XT1900) last weekend with old kernel: I took a detour in order to install it 
directly from CD iso. The system Hung several times and the DVD rom was NOT 
recognized. However, after updated to the newest kernel last evening, the DVD 
ram recognized and it did NOT hang any more: at least for about 6 hours. 

Cheers!

/etc/grub.conf should be a symlink to /boot/grub/grub.conf.  If for some reason
it is not, correct it, or look directly in /boot/grub/grub.conf and see if the

This happened to me the other day when that kernel came out. "init"
would not reload on the kernel update and yum stalled.

I had reboot into the old kernel rpm -e the 128 kernel and yum update
kernel again and all was fine. I do have to say this machine was memory
limited and swapping on update bad.

[CentOS] kernel update doesn't update grub.conf

2009-04-06 Thread Kai Schaetzl
Just updated another machine to 5.3, everything fine, but grub.conf wasn't 
updated to the 128 kernel. It got a new modified date and the kernel is 
there, but the content wasn't changed. /etc/sysconfig/kernel contains the 
correct UPDATEDEFAULT=yes
No errors in logs or during the update. No problem to boot with this 
kernel once added.
This is the first time I ever see this happen.
Any clues?
