CentOS 6.2 New Kernel Issues
by Jonathan Vomacka 09 Feb '12

CentOS 6.2 Community / Developers, Are there any known issues with the latest Kernel on CentOS 6.2? I performed a yum update and the kernel downloaded. When the system rebooted I started having intermittent latency issues when trying to perform certain commands on the system such as top or ls -ltr, etc. I was having extreme latency getting to root. I am unsure if there is a hardware compat issue but I found my server in kernel PANIC mode the next day and was unable to login entirely. Has this been reported before?

Tetsuo, This resolves the issue. Booting using an earlier version of the kernel allows my system to be stable. So it seems like the new kernel is not working with my hardware? Is this a normal occurrence sometimes? Should I be collecting information to write it up as a bug report, or am I screwed with that version of the kernel? Thanks so much for your help btw Tetsuo.
