Hello

Maybe you already checked this.

Please see that you have enough free space on your boot partition - if /boot is a partition.

Hello,

I did it at once Smile

.
My /boot/efi partition has 184M free space
It's enought for 2 new kernel and initrd files.

Hello

Maybe this can be related to the file system you are using. I have seen problems like this when using nfs file system.

Have you checked /var/log files for any indication of problems?

Hello,

Here it is output for mount:
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sda2 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,umask=0077,shortname=winnt)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /home/virtual type ext3 (rw)

You can see /dev/sda1 partition as vfat and mounted /boot/efi. This is requirements for Itanium-based systems and created by installation.

You can see vmlinux-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.8 was unpacked but vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.8 was not.

I tried check ovzlinux in rpm db but it was no results.
[root@zeus redhat]# rpm -qa | grep ovzkernel
[root@zeus redhat]#

I checked log:
[root@zeus redhat]# cat /var/log/messages | grep ovzkernel
May 5 18:40:19 zeus yum: Installed: ovzkernel-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.8.ia64
[root@zeus redhat]# rpm -e ovzkernel-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.8.ia64
error: package ovzkernel-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.8.ia64 is not installed

I think install info was written into log but next it was the error. I don't have any other info about this package in log files.

Hmmmmm.....

Of cource, I cannot change file permisions on vfat partition. Smile

New trouble - How can i install ovzkernel if kernel and mkinitrd image must be in vfat partition?

Hmmmm.....

I unpacked ovzkernel rpm file and placed all files into those directories where they must be. Ovzkernel booting but returns error.

RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda4" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

My elilo.conf looks like:
[root@zeus ~]# cat /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/elilo.conf
prompt
timeout=20
default=linux
relocatable

image=vmlinuz-2.6.25-14.fc9.ia64
label=linux
initrd=initrd-2.6.25-14.fc9.ia64.img
read-only
append="root=UUID=31235982-9717-4e5d-ae07-bfc327105ecd"
image=vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.8
label=openvz
initrd=vmlinux-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.8
read-only
root="/dev/sda4"

My fstab looks like:
[root@zeus ~]# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sda4 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sdb1 /home/virtual ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda2 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda1 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0

Can someone know about this problem?
