Elisabetta- Start by focusing on slurmctld. Slurmd not happy without it. Start it manually in the foreground as in /usr/sbin/slurmctld -d -vvv
This assumes slurmd,conf is in default location.

Overcame some problems booting kernel (thank you vey much to Gennaro Oliva, btw), now the system is running correctly with kernel 3.16.0.4, but slurm isn't starting. I tried restarting services, but it seems it isn't able to do it. Error messages are not much helping me in guessing what is going on. What should I check to get what is failing?
