Hot off the press is 2.6.18-linode24.

Like all newer 2.6 kernels, this kernel has support for NPTL, so moving /lib/tls out of the way is no longer necessary.

I'll wait a while for reports to come in (good and bad) before making Latest 2.6 point to this kernel.

EDIT: Updated to 2.6.18-linode25, added CONFIG_DM_SNAPSHOT

It boots on my Debian etch node, and nothing went wrong because of the kernel. I was running 2.6.17.4-linode23 before.

Chris,

Will you consider adding CONFIG_DM_SNAPSHOT=y to this (or next) 2.6 kernel?

See my earlier feature request: http://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2445

This shows up as part of the boot process:

line_ioctl: tty0: unknown ioctl: 0x80045432

You can ignore those.

Your top is sorting by PID, not processor usage. The header says there are three processes spinning -- check for those.

I've tried 2.6 kernels on my Debian Sarge node a few times, and it always ends up freezing up after a week or two.

Very annoying.

mv /lib/tls /lib/tls-disabled

^^ did you do that?

Thanks Chris,

I've been running this kernel since Sunday with no problems:

Code:
$ uname -sr ;uptime
Linux 2.6.18-linode25
07:27:40 up 20:47, 1 user, load average: 0.06, 0.15, 0.17

If anyone is interested, I ran a couple of dump(1) tests on a LVM snapshot of my /var/log partition -- once with normal activity, and a couple of times with ab2 -i -n 5000 -c 2 http://localhost/ started just before / after dump (to send lots of write requests to the target filesystem). The only thing worth mentioning is that dump and ab2 wouldn't complete their jobs concurrently (the right thing). dump (pass III and IV) waited for the running ab2; and vice versa.

Here's the output from a level 0 dump during normal low activity:
Code:
$ dump -0uf test-0.dump /dev/lvmdisk/snap.varlog
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Oct 9 07:19:35 2006
DUMP: Dumping /dev/lvmdisk/snap.varlog (an unlisted file system) to test-0.dump

DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Oct 9 07:19:35 2006
DUMP: Date this dump completed: Mon Oct 9 07:19:44 2006
DUMP: Average transfer rate: 3220 kB/s
DUMP: DUMP IS DONE

An incremental dump (> 0) will obviously run a lot quicker.

Regards,

Cliff

For what it's worth, we've encountered two BUGs with this kernel (and porentially other 2.6 kernels)...

Code: BUG: failure at mm/rmap.c:522/page_remove_rmap()!
Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

There's a thread about this here and it looks to be a non-uml specific 2.6.18 bug. From what I read, it's a rare bug that the kernel guys have been chasing for a while now...

The other is a kernel mode fault, with the full stack here. I suspect this is UML related, but I haven't gotten a response to my post yet.

Code: Kernel panic - not syncing: Kernel mode fault at addr 0x92c00000, ip 0x80bcead

Hi,

I just signed up today. W00t! So I was kind of disappointed when I tried ot configure my Ubuntu linode to use the latest 2.6 kernel only to find that it would always kernel panic. I tried a couple of the previous 2.6 kernels, and it was the same. I had to revert to the latest 2.4 to get a proper boot.

EDIT: I appear to be on host 10.

Below is the panic error I received:

Yes, we're aware of this issue. Three hosts, including yours, need to have their host kernel upgraded. I'm planning the reboot schedule and will announce it tomorrow -- it'll most likely happen this weekend.

Thanks,
