Ae9803 Posted February 21, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith C Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I recommend contacting your host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct2·com Posted February 21, 2014 Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ae9803 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct2·com Posted February 21, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I decided to use a backup from three days ago that helped. I just wont upgrade to the newest kernel! Thanks for trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddog107_merged Posted February 23, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, I was missing a deb file that I couldnt resolve. Its ok, I just ran a back up and disabled upgrades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
