I been trying to compile the linux2.6.22.1 with grsecurity test patches. Im running 2.6.21.5-grsecurity currently. And when i try to make bzImage and only the bzimage I get this error
Code:
/bin/sh: line 1: 14228 File size limit exceeded(core dumped) objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S vmlinux arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin

make[1]: *** [arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2
has an error number first but different ones each time. I tried the compile on gcc 3 and gcc 4 same thing.
Other kernels compile fine except this one. I compiled the very same kernel, same config and evrything on a centos5 server and it done fine. never had this problem before and I always have always upgraded with grsecurity testing patches
Im running centos 4.5
ulimit shows

This definitely affects 2 ISPs in the UK and I also checked at opendns.com/support/cache/ and they are resolving it to 127.0.0.1 as well.
Also I can't connect to HyperVM by IP address in the URL.
presently I have hosted my site on a shared hosting platform. I would like to know if it would be a wise decision to move away from shared to VPS.
My site is hosted on "Compaq ProLiant ML370 G3 Xeon 3.20GHz/2MB Cache, 2GB DDR RAM, 146GB UltraSCSI Hard Drive" which is shared.
Now if i move to VPS with the following specs,
Disk Space = 6 GB
Monthly Transfer = 100 GB
RAM (upgradable) = 128 MB
Backup Space = 3 GB
IPs= 1
Monthly Price= $9.99
I am playing $10 monthly for my shared hosting account.
The above specs for a VPS if from buyaVPS.com
I am concerned about the RAM, would 128 MB be enough to run a couple of sites.
or would it affect the speed of my site as compared to the shared hosting account setup.
We are facing a strange issue in a Plesk Windows server. One of the domain's subscription and the domain itself is not found in Plesk server. We also queried the related tables in Plesk db, but there is no entry of the domain or the user. But the domain is present in IIS. So is the user and the directories along with the correct permissions. How can we resolve the issue and get the domain added in Plesk so that the customer can manage it from Plesk panel?

I have enabled DomainKeys and ticked the box "Use DomainKeys spam protection system to sign outgoing email messages" however messages sent do not have the DomainKeys signature present.

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

dmesg also shows this:
...

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.

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'm noticed I was getting bounced email errors from a company I was sending email through and I further investigated this by running a dnsreport on my domain.
Turns out that it fails at Acceptance of NULL <> sender, Acceptance of postmaster address, and Acceptance of abuse address. The domain that I ran a test on is using a new IP that I had recently added to my Direct Admin server. None of the other domains on my server are having issues like this.
Is is possible that I need to do something to enable these new IP addresses in exim? I mean, exim obviously responds to that IP address, but it seems to be having some issues with it.

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?

View 11 Replies View Relatedas 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

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?
