When you are compiling a new kernel, and don't have console access to the server, it's always a good idea to automatically boot into a working kernel should the new one make your server hang. To do this, follow these steps:
1. In your grub.conf or lilo.conf file add 'panic=5' at the end of the 'kernel' line for your new kernel. Example:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26.5-grsec ro root=LABEL=/ panic=5
Then save and quite. The above line will have the server reboot 5 seconds after getting a kernel panic.
2. Now you want it to boot into the proper kernel. For that, do the following:
1. Type 'grub' at the command line.
2. Type 'savedefault --default=0 --once' This will boot your new kernel, if it's position 0, just once and then boot the default kernel that is set in the actual grub or lilo file.
3. Type 'quit' to get out of the grub console.
Now issue a server reboot and hope for the best!
Simply the best. have been using them from last 2 years. Remember Dedicated servers are hardware so few times problem do arrive. but always fixed in time. Really really Positive attitude from President.
I have had my hosting with AYK since 2006, and it has by far been the best experience I have ever had with any hosting company. The support is always spot on and available around the clock, excellent for me since I'm always working on things at odd hours. They make upgrading to fit needs very clean and easy, the cost is excellent for services received, and they have me as a customer for life.
AYK provide a very good value product, and always in a professional manner. I have used several hosting companies over the past 17 years. During that time I occasionally needed help with a variety of minor setup issues. Only AYK gave quick and helpful answers. I highly recommend them.
