All,
I have a fresh CentOS 5.2 server that I am just starting to customize, it is very close to stock.
This morning I ran yum update:
============================================================================= Installing: kernel-xen i686 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 updates 15 M Updating: samba i386 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 updates 16 M samba-client i386 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 updates 4.9 M samba-common i386 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 updates 8.7 M
After rebooting, Samba would not start, running 'service smb start' simply hangs forever, nothing in the logs I could find and I could see from ps that smbd was never forking to release the start script.
I discovered that if I boot using the previous kernel 2.6.18-92.1.1.el5xen all is well.
I did try regressing samba by uninstalling and then installing disabling the updates repo to no avail, the older version (1.1) of Samba was installed when I tried booting the older kernel, which did work, as well as the updated version (1.6).

OK ... a quick look through the upstream bugzilla does not show any samba (smb) hangs related to the new kernel.
Can someone else confirm this problem ?

I'm running 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5.bz_pre53 and samba is working for me. There was an rpmnew question during the update. Could that be the problem?

I run into the problem with: 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen, the xen version of the kernel.
Just to re-verify the issue, I rebooted back to the above kernel and this time Samba starts right up no problem!
I had tried this earlier and it did not. I'll have to keep an eye on it over time and see if the behavior changes again.

Just as a follow up, after a reboot (without any updates) the network on this system fails to start. Either the kernel or system seems unstable, given this is a brand new system I suspect the kernel, I'll have to go on-site to further investigate.
