bobgo2627 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 OK Here is my problem. I had my file server running centos take a dump on me a week or so ago. I went and backed up everything and then did disk checks on all the drives. No errors. Now I then did a low level format on all the drives. now I just reinstalled centOS and I noticed that after I did a yum update and restarted, yes I know that is bad, it said during the shut down to restart that "IRQBALANCE - FAILED". what does this mean and how do I get in to check this.

iccaros Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 is this a multi processor box?? if not it should fail,remeber that kernel level process either run (sucess) or don't (fail) and not runnning is not alwyas bad, Cento OS, Like the Red Hat it's made on have generic kernels that build everything in.. so you may have a lot of things you never need.

bobgo2627 Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Nope single processor. So if it should fail when will it? when it boots, it says it is ok. So I don't know what happens from there on out.is this a multi processor box?? if not it should fail,remeber that kernel level process either run (sucess) or don't (fail) and not runnning is not alwyas bad, Cento OS, Like the Red Hat it's made on have generic kernels that build everything in.. so you may have a lot of things you never need.

bobgo2627 Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 so does this mean I should go in and shut it off?Symmetric Multiprocessingtwo or more processors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 from what I read on this post, that service is only needed for multi processor boxes. If you only have a single processor, you can shut it off.I am not sure, but p4s that support hyper threading may benefit form smp support Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobgo2627 Posted April 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 well this is a 500Mhz Celeron PC. So I think I would be ok to shut it off.from what I read on this post, that service is only needed for multi processor boxes. If you only have a single processor, you can shut it off.I am not sure, but p4s that support hyper threading may benefit form smp support Quote Link to post Share on other sites
