apt-get upgradetold me that packages linux-headers-server linux-image-server were kept back, and thus this answer lead me to run apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server. However, the command outputs the following: Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state information… Done linux-headers-server is already the newest version. linux-image-server is already the newest version. You might want to run `apt-get -f install’ to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-image-server: Depends: linux-image-2.6.32-37-server but it is not [...]

UPDATE: I updated the title of the message, because I’ve recently seen more of these problems with this exact time amount of 17163091968s. This should help people investigating the symptoms to find this page. See my (self-)accepted answer below. I have a bunch of 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS VM’s in a VMware vSphere datacenter. VMware tools is installed (vSphere Client says “OK”). I’ve seen some of the VM’s hang a few times with the following [...]

I have a problem on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS x64 with sysctl net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max . If I run this command on shell, I get back an error: error: net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max” is an unknown key. It occurred on 2 of our machines after a reboot. The sysctl value net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_count and all other conntrack-entries are also affected. This is really problematic because we have a very high load / traffic system and I have written a Nagios script which check [...]

Everytime I start a new RHEL instance, I like to perform a yum update to start with the most up-to-date system. However, everytime I try to reboot the instance after that, the instance never goes live anymore. I troubleshooted the root cause to be the kernel update, here are the minimum steps to reproduce the problem: Launch a new RHEL 6.1 instance Connect, then run: yum update kernel* reboot The system stays down. The system [...]

Since yesterday I get the following message every few minutes: Message from syslogd@hostname at Nov 23 12:31:17 … kernel:[8024326.816370] [Hardware Error]: MC4_STATUS: Corrected error, other errors lost: yes, CPU context corrupt: no, CECC ErrorMessage from syslogd@hostname at Nov 23 12:31:17 … kernel:[8024326.838430] [Hardware Error]: Northbridge Error, node 0: DRAM ECC error detected on the NB.Message from syslogd@hostname at Nov 23 12:31:17 … kernel:[8024326.855732] [Hardware Error]: Transaction: RD (MEM), no timeout, Cache Level: L3/GEN, Participating Processor: [...]

In particular, I’m wondering if there are any patches or config adjustments made to the disk cache size in the server edition. I’m running on a small system (256M RAM), and would like to experiment with keeping the disk cache size smaller so that there’s more memory available for applications. I’ve found this page at Ubuntu’s website, which neither answers my questions nor is about the 9.04 release. I’m guessing the difference is mostly in [...]

I’m looking in /var/log/messages and I’m seeing this sort of logging every second: May 5 16:54:55 dag kernel: [86219.516013] EDAC MC0: CE page 0xfe5e7, offset 0×400, grain 128, syndrome 0xe0, row 4, channel 0, label “”: i3000 CE May 5 16:54:56 dag kernel: [86220.516020] EDAC MC0: CE page 0xfe5e7, offset 0×400, grain 128, syndrome 0xe0, row 4, channel 0, label “”: i3000 CE (server name is dag).

I’m trying to update the kernel on a CentOS 6 machine with a vanilla 3.1.0-rc10 kernel. It seems to work, except the modules that get created are significantly larger in size than those that come from the distro RPM. Thats an issues, because the mkinitrd command ends up creating a initram file that is 100M (because of the some of all the modules inside) in size. Grub takes forever to load and decompress a 100M [...]
