[00:55] <gamerscomplete> anyone alive?
[02:18] <juri_> nope.
[02:23] <gamerscomplete> so frustrated with this thing
[02:23] <gamerscomplete> its inability to do something so simple as select which interface to boot from
[02:27] <mikap> gamerscomplete: interface as in?
[02:33] <gamerscomplete> interface is a nic
[02:33] <gamerscomplete> eth*
[02:33] <gamerscomplete> it will not boot off anything but eth0
[02:33] <gamerscomplete> IP-Config: eth0 hardware address 00:15:17:be:ec:fc mtu 1500 DHCP RARP
[02:33] <gamerscomplete> [   17.156516] eth0: Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX
[02:34] <gamerscomplete> I have modified everything possible to try and get it to use a different interface and nothing ever changes 
[02:38] <juri_> hmm.
[02:39] <juri_> well, first, 'it' is not a single thing. :)
[02:39] <juri_> at least, not if you're modifying everything possible.
[02:39] <juri_> i'd recomend you look at your kernel command line options.
[02:39] <gamerscomplete> yup got those
[02:39] <gamerscomplete>  ip=:::::eth2:dhcp
[02:39] <juri_> (shooting in the dark, havent booted off a network in 4+ years.)
[02:40] <juri_> and you're sure they're getting to the kernel?
[02:40] <gamerscomplete> pretty sure they are getting to the kernel. no way to really tell. 
[02:40] <juri_> sure there is.
[02:40] <gamerscomplete> its using the file for sure. I removed the file just incase
[02:40] <juri_> try passing something insane.
[02:41] <gamerscomplete> when the file is removed it wont boot at all
[02:41] <juri_> like, try telling it to boot off a disk via command line option instead, and see if it tries.
[02:41] <gamerscomplete> whats that like boot=sda1 
[02:41] <gamerscomplete> ?
[02:42] <juri_> try root=/dev/sdb2
[02:42] <juri_> (just to make sure it doesn't find one)
[02:43] <gamerscomplete> k trying
[02:45] <gamerscomplete> hmmm seems to just boot anyway.
[02:46] <gamerscomplete> now its just kicking out errors though so maybe not
[02:46] <gamerscomplete> [   44.018559] EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
[02:46] <gamerscomplete> over and over. so im assuming it is taking the kernel options
[02:48] <gamerscomplete> dropped to a shell at least
[02:50] <mikap> gamerscomplete: http://grml.supersized.org/archives/337-More-robust-network-booting.html
[02:54] <gamerscomplete> that looks as if its for ppl having trouble pxe booting. I can pxe boot just fine. but the problem comes in when fai is trying to do its dhcp
[02:56] <gamerscomplete> I just want to specify in fai which nic to use. I want to tell it to use eth2 but no settings seem to actually effect it
