I am using a VM with CentOS 5.8 x86_64 under KVM. I only have console access to the VM through a virtual console (web based).
Tonight, after a routine "yum update", I did a "shutdown -r now" due to kernel update and the VM won't start. See console screenshot vm1.png:
https://vmail.noa.gr/files/vm1.png
There is an error (which I haven't seen before):
type=1404 audit (...): selinux=0 auid=... ses= ...
(see vm1.png above)
(The system cannot load even with the old kernel; the same error occurs.)
Note that SElinux is disabled on this system. I booted in rescue mode, and auto mount was unsuccessful (see https://vmail.noa.gr/files/vm2.png). The log of the rescue process shows some error (see https://vmail.noa.gr/files/vm4.png)
However, later I successfully mounted it using:
mount -t ext3 /dev/vda3 /mnt/sysimage
I then did a umount and:
fsck.ext3 /dev/vda3 which found it clean (see https://vmail.noa.gr/files/vm3.png).
What is wrong there?
Can you please guide me on how to make it work again?
This is a production ftp machine. Please help to revive.
Thanks, Nick
