It is running Arch Linux with Kernel 5.6.15-arch1-1 with an AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and 'RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15)' (1462:7a40)

#KERNEL PANIC MODE NOTE 4 HOW TO#

For information on how to obtain and add modules into the kernel, see the documentation specific to your Linux distribution.I get random kernel panic on one of my systems. If you find a missing module, you can try to add it back to the kernel. Option 3: Inspect the /usr/lib/modules directory.ģ. Replace initramfs-4.14.86_64.img with the name of your image. Option 2: Run the lsinitrd initramfs-4.14.86_64.img | less command to view the contents of the initrd or initramfs file. If the instance reboots successfully, then the command resolved the error.

If the command doesn't find errors, try to reboot the instance. Note: The dracut -f -v command might add any missing modules to the initrd or intramifs image. Also use the dracut -f -v command to list which module or modules is missing. Option 1: Run the dracut -f -v command in the /boot directory to determine if rebuilding the initrd or initramfs image fails. Use one of the following three options to determine which module or modules are missing from the initramfs or initrd image:

Use Method 1: Use the EC2 Serial Console in the preceding section to create a chroot environment in root volume of the non-booting instance.įollow steps 1-14 in Method 2: Use a rescue instance in the preceding section to create a chroot environment in the root volume of the non-booting instance.Ģ. To determine if the kernel panic error is caused by a missing third-party module or modules, do the following:ġ. Run the following command to verify that the root volume of the impaired instance attached to the rescue instance successfully: Select the rescue instance ID ( 1-xxxx) and then enter /dev/xvdf.ġ1. After the rescue instance launches, choose Volumes from the navigation pane, and then select the detached root volume of the original instance.ġ0. This new instance is your rescue instance.Ĩ.

#KERNEL PANIC MODE NOTE 4 INSTALL#

You can install the appropriate kernel version after the initial launch and then perform a reboot. Launch a new EC2 instance in the same Availability Zone and with the same operating system and same kernel version as the original instance. Choose Actions, Detach Volume ( /dev/sda1 or /dev/xvda), and then choose Yes, Detach.ħ. Note: You can create a snapshot of the root volume as a backup before proceeding to step 5.ĥ. In the Storage tab, select the Root device, and then select the Volume ID. Choose Actions, Instance State, Stop instance.Ĥ. Choose Instances from the navigation pane, and then select the impaired instance.ģ. It's a best practice to use an Elastic IP address instead of a public IP address when routing external traffic to your instance.Ģ.

When you stop and start an instance, the public IP address of your instance changes.

If your instance is part of an Auto Scaling group, temporarily remove the instance from the Auto Scaling group before starting the resolution steps. Check the instance scale-in protection settings for your Auto Scaling group. Some AWS services use EC2 Auto Scaling to launch instances, such as Amazon EMR, AWS CloudFormation, and AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

If you launch instances using EC2 Auto Scaling, stopping the instance might terminate the instance.

For more information, see Determine the root device type of your instance. Be aware that if your instance is instance store-backed or has instance store volumes containing data, the data is lost when you stop the instance.

This procedure requires a stop and start of your EC2 instance.

Note: If you receive errors when running AWS CLI commands, make sure that you're using the most recent version of the AWS CLI. For information on configuring the EC2 Serial Console for Linux, see Configure access to the EC2 Serial Console. If your instance is unreachable and you haven't configured access to the serial console, follow the instructions in Method 2: Use a rescue instance. Also, every instance using the serial console must include at least one password-based user. Then, create AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies granting access to your IAM users. You can access the serial console using the Amazon EC2 console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).īefore using the serial console, grant access to it at the account level. The serial console connects to your instance without the need for a working network connection. The serial console helps you troubleshoot boot issues, network configuration, and SSH configuration issues. If you turned on EC2 Serial Console for Windows, then you can use it to troubleshoot supported Nitro-based instance types. Use one of the following methods to correct this:
