I need to recompile my kernel to change the USER_HZ to 1000. However, I am not really sure how to do this and I really need help. I've found a lot of guides and they're really for the advanced linux user, im not really that advanced, I only know a little bit. A messenger like MSN or google talk would be a great way to communicate doing this, since ill have a load of questions.
I'm going to add a second AMD opteron 270 dual core processor + 2 GB DDR ram to my server this week, but do i have to recompile the kernel after i've installed the second processor? Or change something in grub?

I am pretty much being forced to recompile PHP as I want to include OCI Oracle Extensions to read from our business database hosted in Oracle 10g. I installed a binary version of PHP to begin with and Don't have much experience compiling anything from source, although I am somewhat familiar with the concept. I know that sometimes installing extensions can be as easy as using apt-get or yum but I haven't found any information telling me I can do this for the OCI extensions I need to install.
My question is, When installing from source, what do I have to do within apache to update and work with the newly installed PHP.
When installing and running ./configure -OPTIONS GO HERE, what options other than the ones to tell it to use the libraries for Oracle, do I need to use?
I know this is a pretty vague question, but any help is truly appreciated.
I'm using Apache 2 and PHP 5 on an ubuntu 6.10 server install.

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.
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.
then i get the error below. Can anyone help me out? i really dont know what todo here.
Checking Update System........Your operating system's rpm update method (yum) was not able to locate the glibc package. This is an indication of an improper set up. You must correct this error before you can proceed.
here is what I seen when I installed kernel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.src.rpm

then when I ran: rpmbuild -bp --target=$(uname -m) /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
I seen this error: + Arch=x86_64 + make ARCH=x86_64 nonint_oldconfig In file included from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:35, from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:24, from /usr/include/arpa/inet.h:23, from scripts/basic/fixdep.c:117: /usr/include/bits/socket.h:310:24: error: asm/socket.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1 make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.93770 (%prep)
I need to have this installed to get a app installed etc... suggestions or ideas? thanks
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

I copied the default config file and renamed it as .config but I get this:

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.
when doing 2.6.26+ or w/e it is, how do you enable conntrack, what options do i need to enable under make menuconfig?

and how do i know which hardware/devices that i can remove?
