Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 21, 201411 yr 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
February 21, 201411 yr Author 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 :/
February 21, 201411 yr 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:
February 21, 201411 yr Author 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.
February 21, 201411 yr Author 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
February 21, 201411 yr Author What do the upgrade logs say? Hello, Thanks for the reply! Where can I find the upgrade logs?
February 21, 201411 yr Author 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
February 21, 201411 yr 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
February 21, 201411 yr Author 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 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.
February 23, 201411 yr 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
