Not much else to report today other than expanding my test base out to a few more RHEL 7.5b hosts, and re-rolled the 1.6.22.1-1 SRPM again, and am still seeing the same results universally. Every host fails to boot due to a kernel panic when it tries to load the openafs DKMS kernel module.
My next move on Monday will be to try an actual kernel-specific kmod instead of DKMS. If that works I'll be kind of sad since we've had great luck with DKMS until now. - Kodiak On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 3:26 PM, Kodiak Firesmith <kfiresm...@gmail.com> wrote: > I just rebuilt off-the-shelf RPMs based off of http://www.openafs.org/dl/ > openafs/1.6.22.1/openafs-1.6.22.1-1.src.rpm thinking maybe we had some > historical patch in our build area that might be causing the problem, but > alas, even the off-the-shelf RPMs cause a full wedge and reboot when > openafs-client.service starts up. > > - Kodiak > > On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 1:23 PM, Kodiak Firesmith <kfiresm...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hello Rich! >> It's a Dell Optiplex 7020 with an Intel i7-4790. >> >> Thanks! >> - Kodiak >> >> On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 1:20 PM, Rich Sudlow <r...@nd.edu> wrote: >> >>> On 01/31/2018 09:43 AM, Kodiak Firesmith wrote: >>> >>>> https://photos.app.goo.gl/WgPsSUCLK5ojxIuH3 >>>> >>> >>> Greetings >>> >>> What processor..etc is this machine? >>> >>> Rich >>> >>> >>> >>>> >>>> On Wed, Jan 31, 2018 at 9:41 AM, Kodiak Firesmith <kfiresm...@gmail.com >>>> <mailto:kfiresm...@gmail.com>> wrote: >>>> >>>> Folks, re-sending this because the first try never hit the list - >>>> perhaps >>>> mail with attachments are silently dropped or held for manual >>>> moderation?
