Default Some minor problem on booting centOS 5
Hi folks,


Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64 (Host OS)
CentOS-5_lamp.x86_64 (Guest OS)
VMWare - Virtualization platform


# cat /boot/grub/grub.confp
Code:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda3
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.img
title CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.15.el5vm)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5vm ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5vm.img
title CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.15.el5)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5.img

1)
On booting it automatically selects "CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.15.el5vm)". I have to manually select "CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5)" which I suppose is latest version of kernel on CentOS 5.

Whether I have to change "default=1" to "default=0" to boot kernel "CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5)" automatically ?


2)
On booting kernel "CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5)" following warning popup on text scrolling
Code:
Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acplid 0x1
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acplid 0x2
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acplid 0x3
powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
.......
CentOS 5 starts finally w/o problem


3)
On booting kernel "CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.15.el5vm)" following warning popup on text scrolling;
Code:
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acplid 0x1
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acplid 0x2

Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
.......
CentOS 5 starts finally w/o problem


Please advise how to fix the warning on 2) and 3) abvoe. TIA

Hi,
Answer #1:

To make 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 default kernel, change
Code:
default=0
Answer #2: The warnings appear probably because you have not enabled ACPI in BIOS.

Thanks for your advice.

Problem 1) solved.


Re Problem 2

I found it on CentOS website that it is a known issue. I can leave it there because it does not affect operating the OS
