[CentOS] Any ideas?? -- Re: EC2 compatible kernel for centos 6?
I tried several ways but still no help. The following are the output (stock Centos 6 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 kernel), grub works fine and it located kernel and initial ramdisk. but kernel booting faied at the very beginning...

I did that - I had rsync'd / and /boot from another server, identical, with Linux software RAID. Bad mistake - best guess is there are some magic numbers in initrd - so I did this.

Hi, Rob, Robinson Tiemuqinke wrote: Would you mind to elaborate your steps of fixing? I'm using 'yum groupinstall --installroot=/loopDevice ...' method, then Install(not update) the newest kernel from cr/ repository. Did you rebuild initial ramdisk? If so, what's your command to do that? Thanks a lot. No, I wasn't using a command line, because I couldn't get the sucker to boot, even though when I did what it told me to do on panic - add rdshell to the kernel line before booting - I could manually assemble the RAIDs, but then it wouldn't mount. I *literally* started an install (I had a PXEboot one available) with no ks file. About three or four screens in, it presented me with a set of options to install (wipe everything), or... forget what the second option was, and the third was upgrade, and it showed a dropdown list (which, for me, only had one entry) of the one I'd installed. I chose that, and then clicked for go, and from that point, it was literally about two minutes, and it installed grub, then did some post-install scripts of its own, and told me it was time to reboot. mark --Rob From: m.r...@5-cent.us m.r...@5-cent.us To: CentOS mailing list centos@centos.org Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2011 11:47 AM Subject: Re: [CentOS] Any ideas?? -- Re: EC2 compatible kernel for centos 6?

Re: [CentOS] Any ideas?? -- Re: EC2 compatible kernel for centos 6?
Hi Mark, John and all, Finally got it work! hew.. The last part which makes the difference is change the /dev/sda1 to /dev/xvde1 in files /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab. the file system type set to 'ext2' (from ext3) for /dev/xvde1 as well -- this is a S3 backed AMI image. There is no need to re-create initial ramdisk if you use the newest kernel 2.6.32-131.17.1.el6.x86_64 from cr/ depository, all xen blocknet modules seems already included -- please someone double check it to comfirm/deny, I'm just too tired now. Thanks again for all your time and efforts and wish your all have a great long holiday weekend. --Rob From: Robinson Tiemuqinke hahaha_...@yahoo.com To: CentOS mailing list centos@centos.org Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2011 11:55 AM Subject: Re: [CentOS] Any ideas?? -- Re: EC2 compatible kernel for centos 6?
