[16:31] rnewson: what did you try and what error message did you get? [16:35] I always get dropped to an initramfs prompt on the box I'm fai'ing, complaining that it could find a network driver and that I might need a non mainline drive. [16:35] what I did was add firmware-bnx2x to /etc/fai/NFSROOT, rebuild nfsroot, then chroot into it, add 'bnx2x' to hook-functions where 'bnx2' is and run update-initramfs -u [16:36] /lib/firmware only has the bnx2 files in it (on the netbooted machine) but all four inside the nfsroot. [16:37] odd, because bnx2 was trivial, just added the package name to NFSROOT and called make-fai-nfsroot [16:38] what does dmesg tell you after you get dropped to a shell? [16:39] it looks ok, except we don't get as far as a network interface. should I look for something in particular? [16:39] maybe grep for bnx or eth? [16:39] last lines are about ide0 and ide1. [16:39] yeah, I'm paging through. [16:39] over iLo (which sucks) [16:39] no mention of eth or bnx at all. [16:40] should what I described above work? [16:40] hm, and you're using a standard 2.6.26 lenny kernel? [16:40] I'll double-check, but I'm pretty sure. [16:40] does it work with debian-installer? [16:41] yes, it does, it works fine of an install cd if you also have the firmware on a usb stick [16:41] hm interesting [16:41] rnewson: maybe bnx2x was not put into the initrd, or is not loaded bu the initrd [16:41] s/bu /by / [16:41] right. I can't tell which, yet. [16:41] can you do 'modprobe bnx2x'? [16:41] yah. [16:41] what does it say? [16:42] nothing at all. [16:42] does lsmod show the module? anything new in dmesg? [16:42] check if the module is loaded using lsmod [16:42] no lsmod at the initramfs shell [16:42] :-( [16:42] :( [16:42] 'lsmod: not found' [16:42] and in tiny letters "I hate you and am deliberately jerking you around" [16:43] but that could be my imagination, [16:43] add bnx2x to /src/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/etc/initramfs-tools/modules [16:43] ok. I did try that once too, but it can't hurt. [16:44] running update-initramfs -u from inside the nfsroot afterwards, right? [16:44] yep. [16:44] then the modules should be put into the initrd. [16:44] let's hope so. [16:45] it's 2.6.26-2-amd64 which sounds pretty vanilla btw. [16:45] ok, trying again... [16:45] yes, you might want to try a newer kernel if all else fails [16:46] you should also tell initramfstools to load this modules during boot. Currently I can't find the file you can specify this [16:47] hm, interesting. [16:47] it's /etc/modules on debian boxes, usually. [16:48] boot failed again. [16:50] check if the modules was included into the initrd you are booting [16:50] how do I do that? [16:50] without lsmod, I'm blind. [16:50] login to your install server [16:50] cd to your tftp directory [16:51] zcat initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686 > /tmp/ttttt; mount -oloop /tmp/tttt /mnt [16:52] i prefer: mkdir /tmp/initrd; cd /tmp/initrd; zcat /srv/tftp/fai/initrd* | cpio -i [16:53] yeah. Looks much simpler [16:53] ok, trying that :) [16:54] thanks btw, I've been going a little insane over this. [16:55] ok, done.
