Hi, first - congratulations for opening the virtuozzo technology under GPL. Welcome to "bright side of life" I wanted to run a host and guest with Debian GNU/Linux. Other distros are no options for me For utilities: I have download utilities and make them "Debianized" from rpm to deb with alien and install them. For kernel: After following all steps to make kernel 2.6.8 i.e: - downloading vanilla 2.6.8 from kernel.org - patching with diff-2.6.8-2.6.8.1 - patching with linux-2.6.0-nonintconfig.patch - patching with patch-022stab032-core Setting appropriate settings in /etc/sysctl.conf as suggested in your site. As a base .config i use your kernel-2.6.8-022stab032-i686.config.ovz I have kernel dumps every time the kernel boots. I really prefer to compile the kernel by myself (instead of using binary kernel). First i thought this is because of many changes by me in config. But after minimizing the changes by me (comparing to your config) only to: - changing my processor to AMD Athlon/K7 (instead of your Pentium-Pro) - adding support for my Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) in the kernel. This was the minimum changes in .config for me. But even with minimal changes the compiled kernel is dumping. After 5-6 reboots i found that the kernel is dumping on process ifconfig (after starting /etc/init.d/ifupdown). Just to make sure i've made a little change in the shell of this script to /bin/shh - so script can't run at boot and the system was up without kernel dump, and no network ofcourse. But when i wrote ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 up the kernel dump again. If you need more info for hardware or software...- i'll put it here
Re: Kernel Dump with Debian Sarge and 2.6.8
Can you post an oops message here? If it's fatal, i.e. not saved in log files, you can either just make a photo of the console, or, if you have a serial (COM) port and another PC with a serial port, you can connect them with serial cable and set up serial console logging.
yes, the dumps are fatal and i can't even scroll up for the beginning. i'll post a photos tonight. Тo make it easier i'll do it with the digital camera, instead of recompiling with serial console
Please, provide also your .config file. You can use our Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.openvirtuozzo.org) for this. It also give us ability to track this bug more effectively.
ok. I'll report bug to bugzilla too. Thanks.
Ok, i'm having screenshots of dump, and submit the bug report: http://bugzilla.openvirtuozzo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38
