Description Paul Thompson 2002-07-07 13:45:43 UTC

Description of problem:
Built new box, with dual ATA drives & MD's on all partitions, upgraded via 
up2date all apps.  All working ok, including DHCPD. Upgraded Kernel to 2.4.9-34 
i686 and found dhcpd would not start. Keep complaining that:-
Can't backup lease database /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases 
to /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases~: No such file or directory

However, file and directory is fine
[root@redfern root]# cd /var/lib/dhcp/
[root@redfern dhcp]# ll
total 16
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          417 Jul  7 22:47 dhcpd.leases
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          417 Jul  7 23:35 dhcpd.leases.1026048957
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          417 Jul  7 23:36 dhcpd.leases.1026048990
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          417 Jul  7 23:36 dhcpd.leases.1026048994

So, rebooted with original kernel 2.4.7-10 i386, all works fine.

Check personal linux server and upgraded kernel to 2.4.9-34 i586 and its works 
OK.  

Attempted to load upgrade to dhcp-3.0pl1-2.i386.rpm and found references to 
CPIO errors under the i686 kernel.  This would aline to the problems I saw 
earlier.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install 7.2 as i386 binary, install, configure and runup DHCPD
2.Run up2date and update all non-kernel RPMS & reboot
3.Check to ensure DHCPD is still running upon reboot.
4.Upgrade to latest Kernel, reboot and load this.
5.Note error with DHCPD in logs, or manually start with /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd 
start

	

Actual Results:  4 hours of trying to work out what the heck was wrong.  Can 
only pin point to the i686 kernel version

Expected Results:  dhcpd should rename the file and run

Additional info:

I need to rollback on the latest kernel of i686 and try i386.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
