I am running a 64 bit 5.3 kernel on an intel mb and all has been well. Today I thought it would be okay to reboot so that the latest kernel was running - i.e move from 128.2.1 to 128.4.1 release. The system passes POST fine, grub passes control to the 128.4.1 kernel and the boot process is under way. after some 30 secs the system starts beeping - continuously. After I hooked up a monitor I find that udev does not come up with OK and thats when the system starts the beep beep beep ...... No logs to see ...... using grub to select 128.2.1 boot fine Any ideas?
I just upgraded the kernel also, and I'm having the same problem (except that my screen goes blank).
I noticed that Interactive mode allows the system to boot.
So, I'm wondering how to revert to the penultimate kernel. I tried to find info - all I got was rpm -e kernel-oldversion Would that make the system drop to the next-to-most-recent?
I saw a few mentions of using grub - but I set the timeout to 0 (but I don't use that screen, so I don't even see it now). If this method is a permanent fix, should I set it so that it comes up on the next boot?

Michael, My screen goes blank too. It shows that it is starting udev but never comes up with the [OK] - just blanks the screen and beeps..... You may need to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf as root or via sudo and alter timeout or set default=1 or whatever number kernel you want - remember grub counts from 0. I haven't tried interactive - will do that tonight. HTH Rob _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Never did get the 4.1 kernel to work but the 7.1 kernel works just fine ...... Go figure
