Is it possible that the kernel's filename is "wrong", i.e., it uses 2.6.32 as part of the filename but in fact is a 2.6.35 kernel?
thanks falko a lot may be but have no idea how could I repair that :-( I have no taste to compilation new one anyway I have got just one problem now I cant compile xtables :-( becaus kernel headers are different than kernel but everything on our server is working pretty well
If my guess is true, you could simply rename vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 to vmlinuz-2.6.35-71.el6.x86_64 and initramfs-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64.img initramfs-2.6.35-71.el6.x86_64.img. Afterwards you must change these two lines in your grub.conf as well: Code: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=251a0082-888f-4fc0-971$ initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64.img
I did before that one # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda3 # initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=251a0082-888f-4fc0-971c-49a68dacd8be rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=uk crashkernel=auto rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-220.17.1el6.x86_64.img but still have 2.6.35.4
Did you install the CentOS yourself or is it a provided image by the server hoster? I know that some hosters provide customized kernel images that are installed with their images and sometimes use lilo instead of grub (only god knows why ). Have you tried reinstalling grub to the MBR and (if you have software raid) to the raid?
