Hi Blues,
We have had a very uncomfortable day and would appreciate some
help/ideas from those more knowledgeable than me!
We had a server with Brian's 4.3 ISO installed and running happily. We
have rebooted the server since install a number of times without
incident and yum updated regularly.
Then we recently had a yum update stall on us and
killall yum_install
killall yum
This sent the server (which was working up until then) into a sulk.
We rebooted and it wouldn't go past the LILO
Booted a Knoppix disk and tried to mount but would only see /boot
We have an identical (hardwarewise) back up server without an OS, so
installed 4.5, which appeared to install cleanly but on reboot did the
same as the sick server. Tried the 4.6 ISO and the 4.3 ISO .... with the
same result. Stopped at the LILO screen.
The guy working on it is pretty knowledgeable (more so than me) but
couldn't resolve the problem.
We have restored to another lower spec machine (Dell) and that is
running - albeit very slowly.
I need to get the main servers running, but am short on ideas.
Basic spec.
Intel mainboard
1 x Xeon
2Gb RAM
Intel SCSI
2 x 72Gb HDD (software mirror)
Anybody any ideas?
many thanks
Colin
