after the kernel upgrade... 99% http

[Sopos]

Hi,
after the upgrade of the kernel on a red hat 8 (Psyche) I see that httpd take 99.9 cpu, 2 second and it goes to 0, mysqld go to 99 and after 2 second goes to 0, exim too.

The kernel is this now :

Linux hostname.myserver.com 2.4.20-24.9 #1 Mon Dec 1 12:08:29 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It seems a problem that happen with an old kernel.
Has anyone this problem ?

Sopos, sorry to say it, but I would recommend you to change the hostname that is in your post.

You never know who visits this forum.

Ontopic, is this happening all the time?

[Sopos]

Thank you

After I have come back to old kernel the problem does not appear. Anyone has had this problem ?

What kernel are you running that the problem does not occur on?

Here it is :

Linux hostname.myserver.com 2.4.20-13.8 #1 Mon May 12 12:37:55 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

That kernel is not secure: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-392.html .

I know this, but if I upgrade it I get a lot of high cpu on http / exim / mysqld

No anyone has this problem ?

I believe the kernel is buggy. I tried upgrading kernel twice and had problems both times. Other people have posted problems after kernel upgrade in EV1 forums.

Other people have had no problems...

[Sopos]

what is the difference from i686 and i386 version ?

[rs-freddo]

i386 is optimised for old processors - pre Pentium I believe (286,386).

[Sopos]

Ouh, ok.
On Intel p4 2.8 may I install i686 version ?

yes

[Sopos]

Ok, I try.
I hope that the problem was the i386 version.
