[kernel: Kernel BUG At Mm/rmap.c:479] Any Idea What This Is?
Mar 29, 2007
we have one box in hivelocity.net that has been down so many times this month that we were forced to remove links to siteuptime where we were once so proud of having a 99.7% uptime for 3 years in theplanet.
syslog shows that just before crashing, these entries were made:
kernel: kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:479
kernel: invalid operand:0000 [#1]
dmesg also shows this:
...
Brought up 2 CPUs
zapping low mappings.
checking if image is initramfs... it is
Freeing initrd memory: 482k freed
NET: Registered protocol family 16
PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xf9f20, last bus=1
PCI: Using configuration type 1
mtrr: v2.0 (20020519)
mtrr: your CPUs had inconsistent fixed MTRR settings
mtrr: probably your BIOS does not setup all CPUs.
mtrr: corrected configuration.
...
i've googled these messages and they point to ram problems.
hivelocity.net claims to have done diagnostics on the box and that there were no problems reported.
they said this is a result of a sys configuration problem made by us.
any ideas?

running centos/virtuozzo 2.6.18-028stab062.3
when i configure vmware it asks at one point for kernel header files. where would i find them to match the current kernel?
i asked at parallels forums but help there is very scarce. i checked openVZ repositories and they dont yet have headers for this version.
what are my options? i have one last windows machine left and want to run it in VMware.

Last year I ordered a new server with Centos 4.3 and it had the kernel kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2ELsmp installed. It runned fine and I didn't update any packages since then.
Today I started getting a problem where both mysqld and kswapd0 uses very high amounts of CPU, spiking up to 100% and my memory usage is at 99% all the time. The problem seems exactly the same as the one mentioned in this thread.
In that thread the exact same kernel is said to be insecure and to cause this problem. I also came across a centOS bug that reports this problem with high cpu, mem usage and mysql & kswapd0 consuming all resources.
In the linked thread the person solved the problem by upgrading to kernel 2.6.9-42 using rpms but others recommended a newer kernel or a custom compiled kernel for CentOS.
Apparently when they used yum it said 34.0.2 was the latest kernel.
What should I do to upgrade the kernel, which version should i upgrade to, and where do I get it from? I won't be able to compile a custom kernel and I've only installed basic rpm packages before.

I am trying to install the kernel source.
I have downloaded kernel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.src.rpm
I am using fedora 6 64bit.
here are my current kernels:
kernel-headers-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6
kernel-devel-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6
yum-kernel-module-1.0.3-1.fc6
kernel-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6
kernel-devel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6
kernel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6
here is what I seen when I installed kernel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.src.rpm
rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.src.rpm
1:kernel warning: user brewbuilder does not exist - using root
warning: group brewbuilder does not exist - using root
warning: user brewbuilder does not exist - using root

then when I ran:
rpmbuild -bp --target=$(uname -m) /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
I seen this error:

I need to have this installed to get a app installed etc...
suggestions or ideas?

I have a Xen VPS. I started with a Debian 4 image and have since upgraded to Debian 5. Firstly was this advisable? Secondly what Kernel version should I be running, or rather is it set by my installation or by the Xen server?

as part of a project I have lately been looking into various aspects of kernel tuning. Most notably lately tuning the TCP stack for more efficient memory usage/throughput.
Thought I would start this thread to mention some of the tools I'd found for doing testing and see what anyone else had to recommend.
So far my favorite of the bunch is nuttcp. Its easy to use and gives a very good idea of how much of your bandwidth you are able to utilize.
A few interesting web pages are as follows for anyone interested in the topic:
[url]- Tuning TCP for High Bandwidth Delay networks
[url]- TCP Tuning Cook book, some interesting information in there as well
[url]...formanceTuning - Performance Tuning TWiki. Has a list of useful tools, flags for existing tools and ways to monitor network performance from a system level, along with some suggestions of things to correct

My current kernel version is "2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 16 17:17:21 EST 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux". I want it to be upgraded since it is old. I have been told by our server management company that the latest kernel distributed from yum is kernel.i686 0:2.6.9-78.0.22.E. Can anyone tell me if this version is safe and secure enough? It is a CentOS release 4.7 (Final) server with cPanel installed.

my cpu is 64bit but for some software, datacenter install 32bit for me.
i need more ram and order to datacenter, before my ram was 4 Gig and now my ram is 6 gig . but cpu just use 3 gig of ram.
i install kernel-PAE with "yum install kernel-PAE " command and my ram down to 2.5 Gig. now my server used just 2.5 gig of ram.
i can not reformat server because of i have some vps in this server ( Xen vps )

I have always used RPM kernels from the RedHat Network, in this time I need to compile an SMP kernel in a server that is used to serve common webhosting traffic (web, ftp, email, etc) with cPanel.
I have compiled kernels from source in desktops stations, but never in remote servers.. do you have any recommendations to do this at a Dual Xeon 3.2 RHE 5 + cPanel server? Oh.. almost forgot.. I will also compile it with GRsecurity.
Should I use a src kernel from RedHat, or a kernel.org latest kernel?

I installed CentOS 5 on a server with 2 quad core CPU's and 4GB of RAM. After the installation is done and during boot I see a warning that says "Warning only 3GB will be used".
So, just to check, I installed CentOS 4.4 and it sees all 4GB of RAM.
Are there any memory limitations on the distro? or could it be that the desktop kernels made their way into the iso's from upstream?

I am recompiling the kernel with the src rpm. I haven't been able to get any kernel to boot properly since i got this server.
I really could use some help, below i posted lspci, lsmod and cat interrupts. What I really need help with is which kernel modules are necessary for my server.
lspci: [url]
lsmod: [url]
interrupts: [url]
I have already tried a kernel with ext3, and sata support compiled in but it never boots.

For everyone out there who have dedicated servers with linux kernel, do you use a kernel patch like GrSecurity for extra security and piece of mind or not and why?
I am using mostly VPS with huge resources for hosting sites because I didn't have the budget for Raid 5, Data Redundancy and managed servers. But now I just leased my first Dedicated running Centos (for better compatibility with CPanel) and I am concerned about the kernel's security issues.
I am using Grsecurity on a labrat (home server) for testing purposes but I dont know if it is the right option for a Production Live server.

I just got 2 'kernel panic' crashes in a row (about 1 hr between them). During that time
I cannot access ssh, I need to contact the datacenter for manual reboot.
I checked logs, and I cannot see anything abnormal. I am also not sure what I should be looking for.
I'm really scarred that this is going to keep hapening.
I actually may have found something in logs:
Nov 1 13:20:43 punky kernel: audit(:0): major=252 name_count=0: freeing multiple contexts (1)
lov 1 13:20:43 punky kernel: audit(:0): major=316 name_count=0: freeing multiple contexts (2)

Nov 1 13:45:04 punky syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
But I still don't know what this means.
I use CentOS.

The big deal is Kernel is the most important update file IMHO. Because last time at another server i tried to update kernel by same method. And it said it failed to find template for Kernel or something like that. As a result my server didn't boot up and i had to request KVM and load older kernel
I am not sure if it will give same error this time but is there anything else that i need to do after kernel is updated except rebooting?
i just run /scripts/upcp and it updated all of the programs except kernel-pae. Now it says

Emphasize the point in the Wikipedia entry:
Its typical application is in web servers and systems that accept remote connections from untrusted locations, such as systems offering shell access to its users.
My server is private, I don't resell it's space to people I do not know.
Do I need grsecurity or am I safe on a standard kernel?
