Hi,
after upgrading with yum upgrade my server doesn´t boot with kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 d. Kernel CentOS-4 x86_64 (2.6.9-34.EL) works just fine. I use 2 HDD as RAID1. Unfortunaly this is a root server so i do not have any console output. This is rather disappointing cause i run mission critical applications on the server. I guess the updates should be used with more caution.
A few words of advise:
Always try updates on a sandbox before putting them on your production servers. You always have a good chance of updates breaking things, be it CentOS, Oracle, Microsoft, Solaries, AIX or anything else. Just naming a few I had past experiences of breakage on update.
Consider everything outside the Base repository as UNSTABLE. If it were stable enough, it would be on the Base repository.
Anyway, good luck. I hope things get fixed for you soon.
Best Regards,
I think i was misunderstood. I didn´t want to blame anybody and i´m aware that such situations can occure. Rodrigo, thank you for your advise. I will deactivate the plus repos for the future.
Kind regards,
Christian
