Hi,
I have upgraded my Dell C521 to the latest 5.6. I have always used ntp to sync this machine and then the rest of the machines in the network would sync from it. Since the update I cannot keep the right time on the machine. This is with / without ntp. I have attempted various scenario's with no luck. I am now trying the old kernel now
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 3gb of ram.
TIA.
Brian.
List, I was not able to resolve my issue with the time on this machine.I went ahead and rolled the update back to 5.5 and disabled the update
to
5.6.
What I would like to know is if CentOS 6 might be ok when it rollsout, or am I just going to have to keep with 5.5 till EOL?
Thanks to all with there help.
1) I hope you are only talking about having rolled back to the last working for you kernel from 5.5, not the whole distribution.
2) If I was in your position and had time, my method would be[1] a) get the srpm for the last known working kernel (2.6.18-194.32 ???) b) get the srpm for the first known not working kernel (2.6.18-238 ???) c) expand each of the above srpms into their own rpm build tree i.e., rpmdev-setuptree;rpm -i kern1; mv rpmbuild rpmbuild.kern1; rpmdev-setuptree;rpm -i kern2; mv rpmbuild rpmbuild.kern2 d) start looking at the differences in the patches applied in kern1 vs. those in kern2, i.e., read/diff the kernel.spec files see if there were any new ones that seemed likely to be causing the problem... RTFS if necessary to make better guesses. Rebuild kernel 2 with patches taken out/modified based on my investigations and test them and see if I guessed right. If no luck, think about opening an TUV bug with lots of the info you have sent here, they may be interested even if you don't have a subscription.
