| 16:22 rnewson | hi, I'm struggling to add the bnx2x firmware to fai's nfsroot. bnx2 works just fine but I can't get the 10g one to work at all. |
| 16:31 mgoetze | rnewson: what did you try and what error message did you get? |
| 16:35 rnewson | 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 rnewson | 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 rnewson | /lib/firmware only has the bnx2 files in it (on the netbooted machine) but all four inside the nfsroot. |
| 16:37 rnewson | odd, because bnx2 was trivial, just added the package name to NFSROOT and called make-fai-nfsroot |
| 16:38 mgoetze | what does dmesg tell you after you get dropped to a shell? |
| 16:39 rnewson | it looks ok, except we don't get as far as a network interface. should I look for something in particular? |
| 16:39 mgoetze | maybe grep for bnx or eth? |
| 16:39 rnewson | last lines are about ide0 and ide1. |
| 16:39 rnewson | yeah, I'm paging through. |
| 16:39 rnewson | over iLo (which sucks) |
| 16:39 rnewson | no mention of eth or bnx at all. |
| 16:40 rnewson | should what I described above work? |
| 16:40 mgoetze | hm, and you're using a standard 2.6.26 lenny kernel? |
| 16:40 rnewson | I'll double-check, but I'm pretty sure. |
| 16:40 mgoetze | does it work with debian-installer? |
| 16:41 rnewson | yes, it does, it works fine of an install cd if you also have the firmware on a usb stick |
| 16:41 mgoetze | hm interesting |
| 16:41 Mrfai | rnewson: maybe bnx2x was not put into the initrd, or is not loaded bu the initrd |
| 16:41 Mrfai | s/bu /by / |
| 16:41 rnewson | right. I can't tell which, yet. |
| 16:41 mgoetze | can you do 'modprobe bnx2x'? |
| 16:41 rnewson | yah. |
| 16:41 mgoetze | what does it say? |
| 16:42 rnewson | nothing at all. |
| 16:42 mgoetze | does lsmod show the module? anything new in dmesg? |
| 16:42 Mrfai | check if the module is loaded using lsmod |
| 16:42 rnewson | no lsmod at the initramfs shell |
| 16:42 Mrfai | :-( |
| 16:42 rnewson | :( |
| 16:42 rnewson | 'lsmod: not found' |
| 16:42 rnewson | and in tiny letters "I hate you and am deliberately jerking you around" |
| 16:43 rnewson | but that could be my imagination, |
| 16:43 Mrfai | add bnx2x to /src/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/etc/initramfs-tools/modules |
| 16:43 rnewson | ok. I did try that once too, but it can't hurt. |
| 16:44 rnewson | running update-initramfs -u from inside the nfsroot afterwards, right? |
| 16:44 Mrfai | yep. |
| 16:44 Mrfai | then the modules should be put into the initrd. |
| 16:44 rnewson | let's hope so. |
| 16:45 rnewson | it's 2.6.26-2-amd64 which sounds pretty vanilla btw. |
| 16:45 rnewson | ok, trying again... |
| 16:45 mgoetze | yes, you might want to try a newer kernel if all else fails |
| 16:46 Mrfai | you should also tell initramfstools to load this modules during boot. Currently I can't find the file you can specify this |
| 16:47 rnewson | hm, interesting. |
| 16:47 rnewson | it's /etc/modules on debian boxes, usually. |
| 16:48 rnewson | boot failed again. |
| 16:50 Mrfai | check if the modules was included into the initrd you are booting |
| 16:50 rnewson | how do I do that? |
| 16:50 rnewson | without lsmod, I'm blind. |
| 16:50 Mrfai | login to your install server |
| 16:50 Mrfai | cd to your tftp directory |
| 16:51 Mrfai | zcat initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686 > /tmp/ttttt; mount -oloop /tmp/tttt /mnt |
| 16:52 mgoetze | i prefer: mkdir /tmp/initrd; cd /tmp/initrd; zcat /srv/tftp/fai/initrd* | cpio -i |
| 16:53 Mrfai | yeah. Looks much simpler |
| 16:53 rnewson | ok, trying that :) |
| 16:54 rnewson | thanks btw, I've been going a little insane over this. |
| 16:55 rnewson | ok, done. |
| 16:55 rnewson | the firmware is present in lib/firmware - good |
| allee-k (~allee-k@alleehol.mpe.mpg.de) joined #fai. |
| 16:56 rnewson | no bnx* under lib/modules/2.6.*/kernel/net |

| 16:56 Mrfai | yes |
| Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) left irc: Quit: leaving |
| 16:56 rnewson | there's the bnx2.ko there, not the 2x |
| 16:56 rnewson | grrr |
| 16:58 mgoetze | rnewson: hm in the config of 2.6.26 i can't even find an option CONFIG_BNX2X |
| 16:58 rnewson | hmm. |
| 16:59 mgoetze | rnewson: so you may need a newer kernel. try this howto i wrote recently: http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Grml_Kernel |
| 16:59 rnewson | Oh, I know how to do that. |
| 17:00 mgoetze | config-2.6.28-grml64 has CONFIG_BNX2X=m :) |
