Kernel for 1&1 Servers....
http://faq.oneandone.co.uk/server/root_ ... cue/4.html
Has a little bit of info on the serial console - doesn't seem to apply to their older root server packages (in the UK at least) though.
TutanGeek - cheers for pointing out the 1&1 update server - saved me stumbling around in the dark for a long time, and my pooor little abused server is now back up and running properly once again

BE WARNED !!!!
TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE NO KERNELS ABOVE 2.4.25-040218 RELEASED BY 1&1 INCLUDE IPTABLES AND THEY SEVERLY EFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PLESK ADMIN TOOL!!!!!!!!!!
I TRIED kernel-2.6.9-041214 DISCOVERED THIS THE HARD WAY !!!!!!
I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK ON THE OTHER KERNELS
kernel-2.4.26-040421
kernel-2.6.9-041110

Same problem
I've run into the same issue (upgraded the kernel with a plesk upgrade, without realizing what damage it would do). Has anyone found any more information about a fix for this?
I can get to the server via the recovery console (1&1), and I can mount the drives, etc. If there's any way to roll back the kernel version or get it to boot to a different kernel, I'd be very thankful to hear it. I've got customers hosting websites and e-mail and I'd like to get this fixed before they all realize it's down.
Hopefully, I won't have to re-image the server...

Login to your server via the recovery console.
Run
If your using the 2.6 kernel run
If your running the 2.4 Kernel do...
Set your server to Normal mode from the 1and1 control pannel and run....
Run
Code: Select all
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/
mount -t xfs /dev/hda5 /mnt/usr
mount -t xfs /dev/hda6 /mnt/var
mount -t xfs /dev/hda7 /mnt/home
chroot /mnt/
cd /root
Code: Select all
wget ftp://update.onlnehome-server.com/local-updates/kernel-2.6.9-041214.tar.gz

Error
When I try to make the second mount, I get the error "mount point /mnt/usr does not exist". Do I need to create this directory first?
Re: Error
nope because the first mount should be / which will have folders for usr var and home.kwebdesign wrote:When I try to make the second mount, I get the error "mount point /mnt/usr does not exist". Do I need to create this directory first?
Whats the output of fdisk -l ?
also after you do the fist mount what is the output of
ls /mnt/

Aha
I think the problem is that hda1 is my boot partition. The root partition is hda3

fdisk
Here's the output of fdisk -l

Re: fdisk
I take it you've had your server for a while because they haven't been using that partion setup for a long time.kwebdesign wrote:Here's the output of fdisk -l

Use the following commands to mount instead.
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/boot
Then continue on from (including)
chroot /mnt/

Thanks!
Woo-hoo! It's back on-line! Thanks so much, Jason. I appreciate it more than I can tell you.
I've had this server for just under a year. It's a RH9 server - probably one of the last ones they set up. I think that's part of what has confused me - everything I've read about this problem elsewhere assumes FC2 and a different configuration.
Everything appears to be working now, and I will avoid kernel upgrades that aren't issued by 1&1 in the future.
Thanks again.
