Hi,
This morning, I upgraded the OpenVZ kernel on a server that is in a colocation facility.
Old kernel: ovzkernel-smp-2.6.9-023stab040.1
New kernel: ovzkernel-PAE-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.028stab039.1
I rebooted using the new kernel, the machine didn't come up. The sysadmin at the colocation facility told me that none of the ovzkernel would boot, they would hang either at the partition check or before.
I'm going to the colocation facility tomorrow, but I currently have access to the server, which is booted with 2.6.9-55.0.2.ELsmp (stock centos4 kernel).
Any ideas of what I could check now? And what I should check first when I'm there?
Thanks,
Ugo
