| 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 |
