ServerStrong: Kernel Panics, Segmentation Faults, Read-only OS
I've been trying to get something setup on ServerStrong. I've tried CentOS Minimal 6.5 and 6.9 and Ubuntu 16.04.
CentOS 6.5 boots up with a Kernel Panic after yum update. CentOS 6.9 will boot up after yum update, but eth0 is down and I have to use VNC to login and bring it up. But I can't start sshd since the OS is read only.
Ubuntu 16.04 errors out with dkpg: error processing package libpam-runtime (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Segmentation fault), core dumped. Then any subsequent attempt to install any packages result in segmentation faults at random times during the install.
I am not fluent in Linux by any means, but these problems have me confused because I haven't seen them on any other VM or local installs.
I've contacted their support department about it and provided screen recordings of what I am seeing. They ask me to try it again, but it is always the same result. Now I've reached my reinstall limit for the month and stuck with a broken, read-only, install of CentOS.
What can I do to fix this?

What are the specs on your server ?
Where are you getting the Centos and Ubuntu images ?
Server strong? Haha what a name. I haven't heard of this mob before. Is it a brand new LEB host?
Is server strong on plow?
Is there even such a thing like reinstall limit?

Maybe. I found it here: https://lowendbox.com/blog/serverstrong-4gb-ram-ssd-kvm-vps-for-45-year-more-in-los-angeles-ca-high-bandwidth-vps/
I guess so. I go to reinstall because this install is broken and get this:
You have reached your reinstall limit for this month
My advice is to bail on it now. Get a refund if possible, and look at the offers here in the forums.
Just saw another comment on the page with the offer of someone having the same issue. I think I am past the point of refunds unfortunately.
Give it a try, if not, chalk it up as a learning experience. You could try posting a request thread with your requirements and I'm sure you will be given a lot of good options.

Low End Box New Startup ServerClueless.
ServerWeak
Let's see...
1) Posted on LowEndBox: check.
2) Offers huge discount on 3 year pre-paid plans: check.
3) Unreasonable price for the advertised specs: check.
4) Colocrossing: check.
There should have been nuke sirens and not red flags going off at that point.
Speaking about names, take a look:
Note to self: Avoid ServerPumpGood.com
You can always trust in ServerThrust.com
Lately it looks like the offers are churned out via a duplicating machine with only slight random differences in terms/prices and a different name for the host.
And those names getting pretty ridiculous.
Looks like the server ain't strong buddy.
They are failing to provide you the service that you're paying for. Sounds like a reason for a chargeback to me, if they refuse to refund you.
Damn. You forgot rule number 1: "If you find a link to this provider on LowEndTalk, don't buy ANYTHING".
Politely asking for a refund sound like the wisest option. If you can't get a refund, maybe you can forget the 45 bucks and consider this a lesson learnt the hard way?
LowEndBox
When it you using ubuntu, you can use this command
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get --purge remove && sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
sudo dpkg --configure -a
then try it again
sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
Damn good catch, didn't mean LET but LEB of course... not used to type LowEndBox as I never go there since LEA left...
Given your signature, your kind ain't welcome here.
needed?
same issue happening to me https://imgur.com/B93NNF1. Their KVM host is badly configured and giving a lot of segfaults. These are my VM parameters:
Serverstoned
God dam i wish this deal was even possible :O the ram ok, the disk space ok but 4 cpu cores :O,
I mean that server must be screaming for help.
