| 16:23 snark | Ok, I worked around the grub issue by creating my own config instead of using update-grub, which is kind of lame, but will work... now I need that static IP stuff to work. I built a custom kernel, removed IP_PNP_DHCP, IP_PNP_BOOTP and IP_PNP_RARP but left IP_PNP and the thing is still trying to get a DHCP address. Any one have any ideas? Anyone else trying to use static IPs? |
| 16:32 Mrfai | You do not need a special kernel for using a static IP. Just remove the class DHCPC. |
| Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) left irc: Quit: leaving |
| 16:45 snark | Mrfai: It hangs on boot waiting for an IP. Maybe I should have specified this was booting off a CD using an nfsroot... |
| 16:46 snark | and the kernel parameters ip=ip_addr:server_addr:gateway:netmask:hostname:eth0:off |
| 16:47 snark | I'm over in kernelnewbies asking, but I think it might be a kernel bug at this point, since it still tries to get a DHCP address with IP_PNP_DHCP unconfigured in the kernel. |
| 17:23 glance | use initramfs instead of the kernel ip settings. |
| ErKa (keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) joined #fai. |
| 17:54 snark | glance: can you offer any more details? |
| 17:54 snark | perhaps extracts the initramfs, but what would I modify? |
| 17:57 snark | specify ip= in the initrd instead of the linux line? |
| 18:08 glance | no. let the initramfs process the ip= cmdline instead of the linux kernel |
| 18:09 glance | /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/{nfs,live} depending on how you boot |
| 18:24 snark | ok, I guess I'm not sure how switch this... I see in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/live where it would try to process the IP, I'm not sure where to set the parameters. I assumed it was being handled by the kernel, but now I guess I don't know... should I add a nodhcp flag? |
| 18:27 snark | I guess this is my question. So in grub I'm setting 'linux /boot/vmlinux boot=live ip=ip_addr:server_ip:netmask:etc ....' and I assumed it was the kernel processing the ip= stuff. How do I get initramfs to process it? |
| 18:33 snark | hmm.. within the nfsroot this stuff seems to live in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live though.... |
