Yesterday, in the afternoon, I did "yum update" on my Desktop. Everything seemed AOK. After power down last night, when I powered on this morning,
it
began to boot the new Kernel and then seemed to die. Instead of getting
the
progress of the boot on the CRT, the screen was blank and nothing
happening.
I am now running off the previous Kernel on this box. Is there a fix for this, so I can use the new Kernel? This morning, I did "yum upgrade" on
my
daughter's box and that is finishing now. If I have the same problem on
that
box, I will follow on in this thread. TIA, Lanny
Could it be that you are also having this issue : http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2912
Tim: I read the data for that Bug, but on my CRT, after the boot begins,
and it begins reporting the progress of the boot, the screen goes completely blank and there is no HD activity. After the "yum update" yesterday, after I did the Reboot, it booted into the new Kernel, without any problem and I reported in the Happy Camper thread that it was a flawless upgrade. After the power down last night and power up this morning, the new Kernel will not boot and I am now running on the previous Kernel. This is a Dell Dimension 2400 with a 2.6 GHz Celeron CPU and 512 MB of RAM. I am now curious, after the "yum upgrade" on my daughters box finishes, if it will have the same issue. TIA, Lanny
