[06:33] I've got little problem with fai... [06:33] after pxe booting it is not able to load firmware bnx2... [06:35] integrate bnx2 firmware into your initrd [06:35] most probably update-initramfs will do it for you if you have the firmware-bnx2 package installed [06:36] M`cc`: I guessed so but the problem is system errors before it loads initrd.gz... [06:36] hm? [06:36] initrd.gz is loaded by pxelinux, it doesn't need extra firmware [06:37] that's why I am curious why this happens... [06:37] error messages? [06:37] yes, there are... [06:37] I will screen the errors and post a link to the picture... [06:38] tr to get the text and paste it on paste.debian.net [06:38] ok, I will need to type them then... [06:39] it can be difficult to copy-paste from the bios netboot screen :) [06:47] oz_: M`cc` are you guys still here?.. [06:47] http://pastebin.com/gRBryt5Z [06:47] this is the error... [06:48] as you can see the initrd.gz file is getting to be loaded after the errror... [06:51] bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-5.0.0.3.j3.fw" [06:51] 08:35 < M`cc`> integrate bnx2 firmware into your initrd [06:51] yes... [06:51] I've did that with nfsroot/boot/intird I realized that it should be integrated to the tftp initrd... [06:51] I am trying to do that right now... [06:56] oz_: it now loads firmware, but I've got kernel panic... [06:57] oz_: can you please help me to integrate firmware to the new initrd?... [07:00] can I see the error msg? [07:05] xok: what kernel are you using? [07:06] xok: looks like it tries to bring up networking before initrd is loaded -> bnx2 is compiled into the kernel [07:07] M`cc`: I'm using 2.6.32-5 kernel... [07:07] M`cc`: but I think it misses the firmaware in the initrd [07:08] xok: is it the stock kernel or you recompiled it? [07:08] M`cc`: regular one from the distribution... [07:08] M`cc`: but the firmware now loads normally... [07:08] M`cc`: I just copied it to the wrong place... [07:09] M`cc`: I should copy it in the tftp root but copied it to the nfs root... [07:09] interesting, why does it even know about bnx2 before initrd is loaded? [07:10] it doesn't... [07:10] :-) [07:11] okay, then why does it say "loading initrd.gz" _after_ it fails to load bnx2 firmware? :) [07:13] the text on the screen at that tiime is overlapped... [07:13] so that the loading initrd.gz becomes the last one, though it was the second (after kernel loading)... [07:14] I think it just _tries_ to load it [07:14] and think, the _driver_ is there, just the _firmware_ is missing [07:15] oz_: it can't, the bnx2 driver is in the initrd :) [07:15] xok: oh, I see [07:15] this is due due License things. [07:15] M`cc`: compters do follow logic. always. [07:16] I've got new error here... [07:17] init: line 215: can't open /scipts/live [07:18] and follows kernel panic - not syncing [07:18] oz_: M`cc`can you guys help?.. [07:18] if you copied the text well, there's a typo in your init [07:19] kind of strange if you use the initrd from your distro [07:19] M`cc`: you mean live right?... [07:20] i mean "scipts" [07:21] no, that's just a typo... [07:21] it prints scripts... [07:21] :-P [07:22] your initrd is damaged in some way but I have no idea how [07:23] xok: you have "boot=live" in the pxe arguments? [07:23] M`cc`: I think it misses live-boot [07:24] I guess I have to gain some extra levels in initramfs-building [07:24] oz_: let me have a look at it... [07:25] oz_: yes, it has live... [07:25] oz_: should I remove it?.. [07:25] nonono [07:26] then what to do?.. [07:27] is check if "live-initramfs" is in the initrd [07:28] oz_: how do I do that?... [07:31] 'grep live-initramfs /etc/fai/*' could be a starter.... [07:32] what does that tell you? [07:38] it says something.. [07:38] oz_: /etc/fai/live.conf:# /etc/live.conf - configuration file for live-initramfs(7) [07:39] oz_: is this normal?.. [07:51] add 'live-initramfs' to /etc/fai/NFSROOT [07:52] xok: the string should also be found in /etc/fai/NFSROOT [07:52] add it, and rebuild nfsroot [07:52] what version of fai are you using? [07:52] oz_: how do I check?.. [07:52] sorry.. [07:53] fai FAI 3.4.7, 24 Dec 2010. Copyright (C) 1999-2009 Thomas Lange [07:53] wow [07:54] I thought live-initramfs should be in it by default [07:55] oz_: can you help me to include that string to /etc/fai/NFSROOT?.. [07:55] I don't know how to do that... [07:56] e.g. "echo live-initramfs >> /etc/fai/NFSROOT" [07:56] :-D [07:56] or take any text editor of your choice add simply add it :) [07:57] oz_: I forgot how to rebuild the fai.... :-P [07:57] I've setup this pretty in the past... [07:57] make-fai-nfsroot [07:58] thanks... [08:01] oz_: oh I've got anyther question... [08:02] oz_: when istalling from the regular CD image or from network install I've got ability to complete commands with command line... [08:02] alekibango (~alekibang@ip-94-113-217-19.net.upcbroadband.cz) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [08:03] but when istalled from the fai it is not able to do so... [08:03] oz_: can you help me with this too?.. what package should I instal to have the same possibility?.. [08:03] or how do I do that?.. [08:04] "bash" :) [08:04] :-) [08:04] bash is already installed.. [08:04] but the feature doesn't work... [08:04] :-) [08:04] you can test it yourself... [08:04] enter "bash" [08:04] what do you get? [08:05] the same thing as I had previously... :-) [08:05] service lightt[TAB] doesn't work for example... [08:05] though it works perfectly with installs from CD... [08:06] normally this 'fixes' this [08:06] bash -l? [08:06] I've got work here, you know? [08:06] and?... [08:06] you want bash-completion [08:07] that's for completing not just commands but also arguments for some of them [08:07] (and for pissing me off when it tries to be smarter than me) [08:08] xok1 (~xok@46.49.9.96) joined #fai.

[08:41] oz_: I've rebuild the fai nfs root but the problem still exists... [08:41] oz_: the same error: /init: .: line:215 'can't open /scripts/live' [08:42] followed by: kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init! [09:09] M`cc`: I've solved all problems, one remaining, could you help?... [09:10] the system after booting from pxe says: IP-Config: eth0 hardware address MAC_HERE mtu 1500 DHCP RARP [09:10] and stucks so... [09:10] doesn't do anything... [09:11] xok: what does your /etc/fai/NFSROOT look like? [09:11] oz_: I will paste it... [09:12] oz_: the problem with /scripts/live has been solved by installing the live-initramfs on the server and then copying intiram.img to the tftp directory of fai... [09:12] oz_: the NFSROOT file looks like this: http://pastebin.com/eU0hLg9H [09:15] live-initramfs on the server? [09:15] oz_: yes... [09:15] on the server's nfsroot, right? [09:16] hmmm, I've installed it on the main system (server)... [09:16] but should be installed already in nfs root as well... [09:16] logs say so... [09:20] hm... [09:21] the package was not installed in the nfs root... [09:21] I've chrooted now and will install it there... [09:24] oz_: are you here?. [09:25] I'm doing work, but yes [09:26] oz_: can you help a bit?... [09:26] I've installed live-initramfs inside chroot (nfsroot)... [09:26] copied newly created initram.img file to the tftp directory of fai... [09:26] does the same... [09:27] starts loading kernel, then initram and then this thing: IP-Config: eth0 hardware address MAC_HERE mtu 1500 DHCP RARP [09:27] absolutely nothing happens after this... [09:27] it just stucks so... [09:30] can anyone please help with my problem?... [09:31] xok: oh. [09:32] you should put live-initramfs in the correct section [09:32] in NFSROOT [09:36] oz_: where I am supposed to do that?... [09:36] in /etc/fai/NFSROOT [09:37] where to put that live-initramfs there?.. [09:37] oz_: I found it... [09:37] oz_: but what should I do after make-fai-nfsroot has been finished?.. [09:38] should I copy the initramfs somewhere or it will do that automatically?... [09:39] here, it's done automatically, but you better double-.check it [09:39] oz_: so, from NFSROOT/boot/ directory I should copy the initram.img file to the tftp of fai right?.. [09:41] would be good [09:47] oz_: still the same... absolutely nothing changes... [09:47] ;-( [09:53] oz_: there are two DHCP servers on the same network... [09:53] could this cause the problem?... [09:55] oh, yea [09:59] oz_: I've stopped other dhcp server but the problem still exists... ;-( [10:00] boot-live is not really installed in the nfsroot? [10:01] the correct nfsroot is mounted? [10:01] you must check every detail [10:02] nfsroot doesn't even get mounted... [10:03] boot=live is given as boot argument? [10:03] can you paste some logs ? [10:03] yes, argument boot=live is prestented.. [10:04] but I don't know where to find logs... [10:04] the system is not even getting booted... [10:04] existing /etc/fai/live.conf? [10:04] yes, it does... [10:04] xok: like you did it befor [10:04] +e [10:04] what do you mean?.. [10:06] 08:47 < xok> http://pastebin.com/gRBryt5Z [10:07] oz_: http://oi53.tinypic.com/24bn7zl.jpg [10:07] could you please have a look at this?... [10:08] and this screen remains so infinitely... [10:08] it just stucks and doesn't go anywhere.. [10:10] what are you boot args? [10:10] oz_: append initrd=fai/initrd.gz ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.1.1.2:/home/fai/nfsroot boot=live FAI_FLAGS=reboot,verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install quiet -- [10:11] if I were able to track the error I may could fix the problem... [10:11] but the thing happens at th very beggining of the process... [10:11] add "FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt" for a starter [10:12] I don't know even where to have a look for errors... [10:12] verbose?.. [10:12] I will try... [10:13] but it does present there... [10:14] same thing.. no changes... [10:14] FAI_FLAGS="verbose,sshd,createvt" should change something [10:15] if not, the config you changed in actually not used [10:15] FAI_FLAGS=reboot,verbose,sshd,createvt [10:15] this is how it looked like... [10:15] reboot is just to reboot machine after everything ends... [10:15] better take that out for now [10:16] I've just removed reboot, everything else was already presented... [10:16] I did.. [10:16] but nothing changes... [10:16] still at the position I showed you... [10:16] any chance to have a log or something similar?.. [10:16] maybe we are able to increase verbosity?.. [10:17] double check if it actually uses the kernel and initrd you specify [10:17] it definitely does... [10:20] xok: did you run "make-fai-nfsroot -v"? [10:20] yes, I did... [10:20] there were some problems previously... [10:20] and I had to re-run it several times beofre everything wen smootly... [10:20] before* [10:23] xok: what did the log say? [10:24] oz_: that the process finished normally... [10:24] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1501700.html [10:25] I think this is similar to my problem.. [11:00] xok: what does "dpkg -l | grep tftp" tell you? [11:01] oz_: I'm using dnsmasq for dhcp, tftp service.. [11:01] try to install tftpd-hpa [11:03] oz_: I did... doesn't help... [11:04] xok: you did add the options, and the kernel is still not more verbose? [11:05] somewhere you must have a mistake there, I think the config is not used, then. [11:05] oz_: how else I can test which one is used?.. [11:06] oz_: I've changed some text there, yes, it is the config I am working with... [11:06] i.e. rename the kernel, if you system doesn't boot after that, you at least know: that was right. [11:08] xok (xok@78.139.162.169) left #fai. [11:08] xok (~xok@78.139.162.169) joined #fai.
