Re: RHEL 6.1 "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"

Since I am still doing the setup, I reboot often.
I have seen kernel panic message several times "Kernel panic - not syncing:
Attempted to kill init!". If I powecycle the server through DRAC, it boots
fine. So even the kernel panic is intermittent.

Hi,

Thanks.
The RHEL 6.1 installation completes. But during the boot, the system
shows that progress bar and hangs. I have also attached a screenshot.

I am typing below as text below; just in case you are not able to see the
attachment.
"......progress bar......................... :
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6.1"

If I powercycle the server through DRAC, the system boots normally. So
the problem is intermittent and i am not sure how to find the cause.

The servers are brand new; so do you still recommend the firmware
upgrades? Never done upgrades for BMC, iDRAC or PERC before; so need to
research at Dell site.

Thanks,

If You have upgraded kernel, it may happen that you forgot to include

Verify with BIOS if all drives are available.

Hi,

I have recently started installing RHEL 6.1 on Dell PowerEdge r710
and
observed following issues:

1. We see a progress bar on the DRAC, but the login prompt does not
appear
for a long time.
2. Also observed kernel panic a few times during reboot "Kernel
panic
-
not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"

# more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1 (Santiago)

# uname -r
2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.x86_64

Please suggest.
Thanks,

Make sure your system firmware is up2date, BIOS, BMC, iDRAC PERC,
etc.
Check support matrix from Dell to see if 6.1 is supported on 710. Did
you
test your image. Make sure it is not corrupt. Bios to default
settings.
If
still the same, remove PCI cards from back risers.
Contact Dell support.

RHEL 6.x supports PERC controllers out-of-box.
Instalation may fail because of exposed vfat partitions on the USC.
Check RHEL manuals from support.dell.com.
