Hi All...

I thought this issue was resolved with the last kernel upgrade I did, but 
this morning at about 6:25AM Eastern (I think) one of my OpenVZ machines 
experienced a kernel panic.

The kernel is:

actual:/var/log# uname -a
Linux actual.registrationtek.com 2.6.18-openvz-13-39.1d1-amd64 #1 SMP Sat 
Sep 29 15:02:55 MSD 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is Debian Etch AMD64 running on Supermicro hardware.

The messages log is not much help.  I rebooted at about noon:

Nov 12 05:43:37 actual -- MARK --
Nov 12 06:03:37 actual -- MARK --
Nov 12 06:23:37 actual -- MARK --
Nov 12 06:27:29 actual syslogd 1.4.1#18: restart.
Nov 12 12:00:44 actual syslogd 1.4.1#18: restart.
Nov 12 12:00:44 actual kernel: klogd 1.4.1#18, log source = /proc/kmsg 
started.
.
.
.


Same for syslog.  Here are the last few lines:


syslog.0:

Nov 12 06:25:01 actual /USR/SBIN/CRON[417]: (root) CMD

syslog:

Oh, and the last message on the console was:

Hi Jim,

can you poste more info, or can it be solved by installing a new kernel,
maybe this thread helps (-> 
http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=4186&start=0& )

Bye,
  Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,

Well this is the most recent kernel available from this link:

http://download.openvz.org/kernel/debian/etch/

I use these because they include the iSCSI daemon which I need to talk to 
my SAN box.  Is there a newer kernel available and if so, where do I get it?

Thanks...

Hi Jim,

you need the iscsi kernel modules like iscsi_tcp, libiscsi and
scsi_transport_iscsi ?

I've built some debian kernel images, see
http://debian.systs.org/openvz/166/new-openvz-flavour-added-fzakernel-version-028stab481/

There's the modules built as module like, the original Debian Kernel.

Hope this helps,
 Thorsten

Use the kernel at
http://debian.systs.org/openvz/166/new-openvz-flavour-added-fzakernel-version-028stab481/
that Thorsten recommends, it's been working well for me.  The last few
kernels at download.openvz.org have serious problems.

Thanks Thorsten and Frank, I'll give those a try this weekend.

I have been installing kernels from the openvz download page using dpkg 
directly.  If I install a kernel package from systs will that screw 
anything up?

No problem with changing the kernel.  

I had a old version of vzctl (debian etch version 3.0.11) and I had to
make some sym-links manually in /etc/vz/names/ when I updated to vzctl
3.0.18, but no other compatibility problems.

After another kernel panic Sunday, I decided to do this a little earlier 
then planned.

I did:

# aptitude install fzakernel-2.6.18-amd64

And it seemed to go okay.  The package manager did not change the default 
bootable kernel in menu.lst, but that may be deliberate.  I am now running: 


actual:~# uname -a
Linux actual.registrationtek.com 2.6.18-fza-5-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 1 
16:15:07 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It came up with iSCSI working fine and is running now.  It also seems to 
see all 8GB of RAM I have installed.

Am I correct in assuming from the uname output that this kernel was built 
on Nov 1st?  I always get confused trying to figure which kernel image is 
the latest based upon the naming conventions.

Thanks!
