What do you mean by "not working", the rpm command seems to think the files are installed... Take a look in /boot/grub/menu.lst and see if the kernel is in there and it is the default to boot (default = 0 for the first kernel listed) brassow On Jan 24, 2006, at 5:07 PM, Kapadia, Nayan U. wrote: Arial0000,0000,FFFFThanks, but that looks okay to me.   Arial0000,0000,FFFFNot working:   Arial0000,0000,FFFFrpm -ql kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.0.2.EL |grep boot Arial0000,0000,FFFF/boot/System.map-2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp Arial0000,0000,FFFF/boot/config-2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp Arial0000,0000,FFFF/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp Arial0000,0000,FFFF/lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/mtd/redboot.ko     Arial0000,0000,FFFFWorking:   Arial0000,0000,FFFFrpm -ql kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL |grep boot   Arial  Arial0000,0000,FFFF/boot/System.map-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp Arial0000,0000,FFFF/boot/config-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp Arial0000,0000,FFFF/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp Arial0000,0000,FFFF/lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/mtd/redboot.ko   Arial0000,0000,FFFFAny ideas?     From: linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan E Brassow Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 5:49 PM To: LVM general discussion and development Subject: Re: [linux-lvm] file descriptor 3 left open IIRC, these are merely informative messages saying that, "Hey, the person who called me forgot to close some of their file descriptors, like they were suppose to. But don't worry, I'll close them for you." That would have been too long though, so I think they chose a more cryptic message. As far as your kernel installation problem, I'm not sure what's wrong there... You could 'rpm -q kernel' (or rpm -qa | grep kernel) to see if it is installed. If it is, you could 'rpm -ql kernel-< | grep boot' to see if the image was correctly installed... brassow On Jan 24, 2006, at 3:55 PM, Kapadia, Nayan U. wrote: ArialI keep seeing "file descriptor 3 left open" at boot after the initrd is loaded.  The systems boots to the 2.6.9-22.0.1 kernel and works fine.  I have ran fsck against all filesystems however the error messages still appears.  I noticed that when I run system-config-lvm these errors are more predominant.  ArialFile descriptor 13 left open ArialFile descriptor 3 left open ArialFile descriptor 4 left open ArialFile descriptor 8 left open ArialFile descriptor 9 left open ArialFile descriptor 10 left open ArialFile descriptor 11 left open ArialFile descriptor 12 left open ArialFile descriptor 13 left open ArialFile descriptor 3 left open ArialFile descriptor 4 left open ArialFile descriptor 8 left open ArialFile descriptor 9 left open ArialFile descriptor 10 left open ArialFile descriptor 11 left open ArialFile descriptor 12 left open ArialFile descriptor 13 left open ArialI recently installed the new kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2 but the system does not find kernel at boot.  I think the file descriptor messages are a symptom to some greater problem.  Please help.
