That way, at least the re-install is quicker... ;-) Rainer ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Upgrade then sudden death..
I recently put Cent 5.2 (64 bit) on a new server using a Supermicro pdsbm-ln2+ sys board. I did the original installation at home using the 5.2 dvd I got via torrent. I turned it over to my NOC tech and it went right online so he ran yum update. With the most recent kernel, which went in with the update, the server hung on grub (after reboot). He did a fresh (minimal) Centos installation and once again ran update, but again the new kernel wouldn't load. The machine is set up RAID 1 with two Seagate 250 GB sata drives. Nothing fancy, just cheapo 7200 rpm stuff. I wish I could be more specific, but I wasn't present during the update and failure. None the less, I would appreciate all the opinions and feedback you folks can offer. I'll have the server back here in a couple of days. In the meanwhile, I'd like to get some ideas that could help me resolve this issue. I put the system board manual on my server at: http://hwy39.net/centos/Supermicro_PDSBM-LN1-LN2-LN2+_Manual.pdf . Feel free to take a look at it. -- Thanks, Ben hwy39.net lonsingerpharmacy.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
