Kernel panic on rhel4 -- ansible-playbook.

Archives Ansible Project

I know rhel4 is not supported, but I do not have choice.
Installed python27 in /opt and trying to get the playbook running.
I am using the ansible_python_interpreter /opt/python2.7/bin/python2.7

Just regular ansible xxxxx -a “date” command works fine.

But, when I try using the playbook, it causes kernel panic.

ansible-playbook -i 118.yml pb/test.yml -vvvv

Do you want to try to use pull mode and see if it gets through?

I guess the panic must do something about tty and ssh

What version of Ansible are you using?

I’m guessing it’s some system call made as a result of the setup module, assuming you are talking about managing RHEL4 guests and haven’t installed a new Python and trying to run from EL4?
