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 have installed centos 4.4 and tried to recompile kernel, but it keeps failing during boot...
is there any special setting on kernel config to recompile kernel and boot it?
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 have a 32bit centos running with 8 gigs, but only 7 is registering when i contacted support they told me
Your server does in fact have 8GB of physical memory however the reason it is not being recognized is due to the fact that you are using a 32 bit operating system. By default, the 8GB would be recognized if it were a 64 bit OS however on a 32 bit operating system, you must install and boot into the PAE kernel (physical address extension) for the 8GB to be recognized and utilized. The PAE kernel can be installed through yum when connected to your server as root over SSH. Once you have installed the kernel, you will need to reboot the server for these changes to take effect
i tried
yum pae install
yum pae kernel install
both didnt work can anyone give me a quick step by step guide on how to go about this.
I have a dedicated box with following specs
Core2Quad 2.4ghz
2x500gb hdd
8gb ram
I installed 32bit centos5 in it ( because I use lxadmin ;lxadmin wont support 64bit)
Installed kernel-PAE successfully and rebooted the server. but the server still boots into the old kernel. I need the kernel-PAE to be booted, then only I can utilize full RAM. help me . below there is ssh logs

how can i recompile kernel for centos with following options
option IPFIREWALL,IPDIVERT,IPFIREWALL_FORWARD?
I am using cpanel My server runs with centos 5 With version 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5.plus
Does i need to keep updating kernal updates always for the server?
If so how i can update automatically?
I was Use Centos 64bit and when i install the openvz kernel and the openvzquota:
Quote:
yum -y install ovzkernel
yum -y install vzctrl vzquota vzpkg
I reebot my server and never boot up
I was planning to use a 8gb ram that's why i select 64bit.
Is there a correct way to do it?

My server is a
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
2GB of DDR2 800 ram
x2 160GB hard drives soft ware raid 1
nvidia chipset mother board
(The box, 2 years now, never had issues before all you will read...)
I do have a box at the IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, which on 15th Nov. was: AMD 4200+
with 300 GB hdd for OS, and CentOS 4.5 on it...
Because the system was facing few load problems of wrong installed applications, we decided to do a fresh OS reload to the latest OS version and
cPanel.
on 16th Nov, the box was up and running with CentOS 5, and cPanel 11.
the kernel is: 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5
After few hrs the box was done and IO restored all backups in it anbd all worked fine, I realized that I couldnt access cPanel, page was blank for
everything.
Also, most pages (except simple html) where showing internal error 500.
I did a reboot. probelm was fixed.
After few hrs, problem came up again...
I left ssh logged in to see whats wrong.
I found out that every few hrs, that issue was happening:
Message from syslogd@server at Sun Nov 16 11:47:21 2007 ...
server kernel: journal commit I/O error
Then, we had techs to check HDD for errors. they did fsck, and said disk has to be replaced (at this point, without wanting to offend anyone, I have to state that 90% of techs in datacenters, or at least at mine --won't name them, 99% you guess which DC it is...-- are just low paid students that don't know SIMPLE things...) so we told them to replace the HDD and do OS reload in new drive...
So, on 17th Nov. we had online a new HDD, 400 GB with CentOS 5 loaded in it, and cPanel 11...
After few hrs and all working and backups recovered, the issue came up again!
This time, with exactly same error, techs told us it may be RAM, so they replaced the RAM and we waited...
In 2,5 hrs, bang, it happens again, same error.
They say, it might be the sata cable...
we replace it...
AGAIN ERROR.
we ask them to loook at it seriously, and after lot pressure, to avoid case that mo/bo or controller is wrong, they do upgrade us in a BRAND NEW colocated box, which was this time: Intel Core 2 DUO, 6300, with brand new 500 GB HDD and new RAM.
We recover in the new box the backups.
Box is online today at 18th Nov...
and the issue comes up again!
Message from syslogd@server at Sun Nov 18 11:47:21 2007 ...
server kernel: journal commit I/O error
I ask them what the **** is going on now and why after having all hardware replaced with new, and all OS reinstalled clean on new drives and new devices, 3 times, why we have again the same error...
And their response: power cable was loose, we replaced power cable...
Guys, sorry, this is really DUMP... loose cable cannot give that error...
and the error... continues!
Also, at this point, I have to let you know, that when this error comes up, (Message from syslogd@server at Sun Nov 18 11:47:21 2007 ...
server kernel: journal commit I/O error) the filesystem becomes READ-ONLY and
nothing gets affected, if we do a cold reboot by reset button, it comes up
again and all work PERFECT, until the issue comes back again.....
I am desperate with that, let me know what I have to do!
Just to make things clear, i am not new at setting up VPS nodes, i have set up all of my servers with the HyperVM/OpenVZ setup and they work perfectly, but im having a problem with a new server.
Just received my new server, installed HyperVM-Slave, rebooted but the OpenVZ kernel was not installed for some reason, so i manually installed the OpenVZ Kernel using the RPM as yum seemed to install the wrong kernel.
I then installed the kernel using RPM and got this error at the end of installation:
grubby: unable to open /dev/hda: No such file or directory
grubby: unable to open /boot/boot.b: No such file or directory
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
I have never encountered this error with any of my other servers before...
Also after installation everything seems to be correct. /etc/grub.conf has the new OpenVZ kernel displayed, and default is set to 0, so upon startup it should be booting the correct kernel, but the thing is, when i reboot the machine the default kernel is loaded even though the grub.conf is configured to load the OpenVZ Kernel.
Im thinking that this may be due to the error i got when installing the kernel.
I'm not sure if anyone else has come across this but I'm sure you are all aware that CentOS 5.3 default kernel comes with realtek support.
But the default realtek drivers have a bug in them when it slows down upload and downloads drastically and shows ping times above 2000+ ms in the same datacenter.
A fix for this is simply upgrading the kernel to the latest version available (2.6.29) with realtek driver support.
I installed CentOS 5 with SAS drive. But i forgot install kernel-PAE for more 4GB RAM. (i'm using 8GB RAM).
But now when i trying to install kernel-PAE or update kernel. I have issue with hda and fd0 ...
"WARNING: No module megasr found for kernel"
When i 'cat /var/log/messages' i got:
kernel: end_request: i/o error, dev fd0,sector 0
kernel: hda: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
kernel: hda: packet command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
I tried to 'google' they to find the solution, but now i still not find out ...
I'll try to reload OS. After reload OS, if i dont have floppy disk, how can i update kernel with no error?

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.

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.
