Can I specify a particullar kernel image for a reboot with grub, so that i issue a reboot request. In case things don't work properly I ask for a manual reboot and go back to the older kernel without any issues. I read in somewhere about being able to do the same with lilo. In any case my server is running lilo, so I would like to test that out. I can't access this server's console, > If you are able to build kernel without much problem, try building one and boot with it otherwise, try using the updated kernel. Just copy it to your disk, configure grub and try it out. I would like not to make a custom kernel, as this is a remote system of which I don't have full information of the configuration. I just took over this server and the stability issues are giving me a real headache. Also I don't have any special drivers that requires a custom kernel. I guess I will try this out the moment I get some time to test it and then report on how the upgrade went. I was just going thru the logs after the last shutdown, and it seems that just before the system went down, something went wrong with the filesystems, as sendmail has the following log entries: **** sendmail[19889]: h5KMekR19889: Losing ./qfh5KMekR19889: savemail panic **** sendmail[19889]: h5KMekR19889: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere Does anyone have any idea of what can be going wrong?
