Ae9803 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Hello Guys, I recently attempted to upgrade a kernel on my vps last night when something horribly went wrong. When I restarted the vps, I couldn't access putty, so when I went thru the VNC control panel thru the host I use, apparently somehow the network within the vps got completely messed up. I cant even ping google.com... I am desperate need of help, I am not sure where to start. Please help. Thanks, Jake
Ae9803 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 Whenever I attempt to restart the network, this is the error I get lib/modules/2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64/modules.dep Im not sure whats going on :/
rct2·com Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Do your hosts let you load a rescue kernel so you can mount your broken system disks, look at the logs and find out what went wrong? Mine do. :thumbs:
Ae9803 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 I recommend contacting your host. Its unmanaged Do your hosts let you load a rescue kernel so you can mount your broken system disks, look at the logs and find out what went wrong? Mine do. :thumbs: Yea they do i attempted to do a fsck repair and that didnt help.
Ae9803 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 And to be more specific, when I check the network status Configured Devices: lo e0 Currently active devices lo So I then attempt to restart and I get this error could not load /lib/modules/2/6/32-358.6.1.el16.x86_64/modules.dep: No such file or directory Update: So I checked in that file and obviously its not there. So how in the world can I get the file added back
Ae9803 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 What do the upgrade logs say? Hello, Thanks for the reply! Where can I find the upgrade logs?
Ae9803 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 I know its gotta be the missing, 2.6.32-358.0.1.el6.x86_64/modules, but if I cant do anything in the network, how can I get it back? lol
rct2·com Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Did you use rpm or yum to upgrade the kernel? You may get better help here ... https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5796

You may get better help here ... https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5796 Thanks for the topic, I did yum. And that link is kind of similar to what happened. But I decided to use a backup from three days ago that helped. I just wont upgrade to the newest kernel! Thanks for trying.
rct2·com Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I linked to a specific topic. I meant to link to whole the forums.
maddog107_merged Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 If you use yum your old kernel is still there, just vi /boot/grub/grub.conf change the kernel to boot from, it starts counting from 0 (Each Title line counts as 1) . Simply chose an older kernel and change the line default=0 to default=X Where X is the kernel you want.

Problem is, I was missing a deb file that I couldnt resolve. Its ok, I just ran a back up and disabled upgrades
