TOPIC: Kernel Updating?

Re:Kernel Updating? 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
Hi Tim,

Thanks for clearing that up for me and taking the time to help me.
I deleted the last line in "/etc/grub.conf" and made the following modification to it.
Currently there are players on my game servers, so I will reboot at a later time.
Code:
title Linux (2.6.31.12-174.2.22.timb1.i686)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.timb1.i686 ro root=LABEL=/1 nomodeset
initrd /initrd-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.timb1.i686.img

cat /etc/fstab:
Code:
[root@system ~]# cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/1                /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hda2         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
[root@system ~]#

I will keep you posted on the results.

Greetings,

John

Hi Tim,

Sure, no problem.

mount:
Code:
[root@system ~]# mount
/dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)

Hi Tim,

Good news ...
Adding "nomodeset" solved the graphic card issue.
Also the shutdown time improved from 5 min to 2 min.
Booting up takes about 5 min compared to 20 min previously.
I confirmed that all services started with [OK], but still I discovered the following error message:


Please advice,

John

Re:Kernel Updating? 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
Thanks - to correct the partition labelling you can run the following
Code:
e2label /dev/sda3 /


Then amend LABEL=/1 in /etc/fstab to LABEL=/
Code:
LABEL=/                /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hda2         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0


Then amend all LABEL=/1 entries in /etc/grub.conf back to LABEL=/
Code:
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

Hi Tim,

I successfully corrected the partition labeling ... thanks Tim, you are the man .
I rebooted to test if it worked.
To be honest, I don't understand what I did, besides the fact that is now as it used to be.
Code:
[root@system ~]# cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hda2         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
[root@system ~]#

Re:Kernel Updating? 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
Glad you got it sorted John,

To update I've actually installed kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.timb1.i686.rpm on my production system now and its been ticking along nicely! up time of 6days and counting It seems to be stable. Only slight gotcha is specifying 'nomodeset' on the kernel boot line, some graphics cards seem to need it for them to function correctly...(my i915 Intel based on board vga being an example)

I may post a separate thread for those wanting to upgrade their kernel but don't want to read all 9 pages of testing - I haven't forgotten I promised a connlimit howto John either!

This has actually come way further than I ever anticipated, and i've learnt a lot on the way

That sounds very promising. Does this mean that we are likely to see the new kernel Beta in 5.2 ? or perhaps we should stay safe and keep a revision behind!
