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!
This is my second time i m using your services, and the main reason i'm doing that, beside your prices is your customer support. I love the fact that you are fast, you always help me and never get bothered by my endless questions(i'm still a newbie when it comes to server setup) Thank you
I recently switched to AYK Solutions from Softlayer for my dedicated server requirements. I received a much better specification server at significantly reduced cost from what Softlayer could offer me, with many of the previously 'extra' features at Softlayer included in the base price offered by AYK. The support was second to none, and they were extremely helpful in transferring all of my old server accounts over for no additional fee whatsoever.
AYK Solutions has provided me with a very cost effective hosting service with great uptime and lots of features. I would not hesitate to recommend them!
