CentOS7 / 204.122.16.9 DNS UP
I’ve resolve the issues with systemd configuration on centos7.eskimo.com. It and the DNS server at 204.122.16.9 (ns2.eskimo.com) are both online. The system has been imaged so if there is a need for it to be restored, it will be restored with the proper fixes in place.
Centos7 / 204.122.16.9
The shell server centos7.eskimo.com and the DNS server at 204.122.16.9 which resides on that machine will be up and down intermittently as I work to resolve a problem with the systemd configuration.
Easter
John 20:24-31King James Version (KJV)
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
It seems appropriate that we’d have a full lunar eclipse this weekend, the light momentarily snuffed out only to return minutes later. But the moon feels nothing, Jesus suffered greatly for our sins, for us to have life.
Kernel Upgrade Failed
The kernels I built did not work properly. One machine just hung with a flashing cursor. The other booted and ran and actually performed quite well however it would not respond to a USB keyboard and mouse so I suspect I removed some necessary hardware support.
Not this week but in time I am going to build some kernels with the same configuration as the existing kernels with all the added stuff defaulted so I can determine if it’s an issue with that version of kernel or a configuration item.
The kernels are identical configurations on almost identical hardware. Nothing logged gives me a clue. On the machine that hung there are no error messages.
