| 06:33 xok | hello all... |
| 06:33 xok | I've got little problem with fai... |
| 06:33 xok | after pxe booting it is not able to load firmware bnx2... |
| 06:35 M`cc` | integrate bnx2 firmware into your initrd |
| 06:35 M`cc` | most probably update-initramfs will do it for you if you have the firmware-bnx2 package installed |
| 06:36 xok | M`cc`: I guessed so but the problem is system errors before it loads initrd.gz... |
| 06:36 M`cc` | hm? |
| 06:36 M`cc` | initrd.gz is loaded by pxelinux, it doesn't need extra firmware |
| 06:37 xok | that's why I am curious why this happens... |
| 06:37 oz_ | error messages? |
| 06:37 xok | yes, there are... |
| 06:37 xok | I will screen the errors and post a link to the picture... |
| 06:38 oz_ | tr to get the text and paste it on paste.debian.net |
| 06:38 xok | ok, I will need to type them then... |
| 06:39 M`cc` | it can be difficult to copy-paste from the bios netboot screen :) |
| 06:47 xok | oz_: M`cc` are you guys still here?.. |
| 06:47 xok | http://pastebin.com/gRBryt5Z |
| 06:47 xok | this is the error... |
| 06:48 xok | as you can see the initrd.gz file is getting to be loaded after the errror... |
| 06:51 oz_ | bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-5.0.0.3.j3.fw" |
| 06:51 oz_ | 08:35 < M`cc`> integrate bnx2 firmware into your initrd |
| 06:51 xok | yes... |
| 06:51 xok | I've did that with nfsroot/boot/intird I realized that it should be integrated to the tftp initrd... |
| 06:51 xok | I am trying to do that right now... |
| 06:56 xok | oz_: it now loads firmware, but I've got kernel panic... |
| 06:57 xok | oz_: can you please help me to integrate firmware to the new initrd?... |
| 07:00 oz_ | can I see the error msg? |
| 07:05 M`cc` | xok: what kernel are you using? |
| 07:06 M`cc` | xok: looks like it tries to bring up networking before initrd is loaded -> bnx2 is compiled into the kernel |
| 07:07 xok | M`cc`: I'm using 2.6.32-5 kernel... |
| 07:07 oz_ | M`cc`: but I think it misses the firmaware in the initrd |
| 07:08 M`cc` | xok: is it the stock kernel or you recompiled it? |
| 07:08 xok | M`cc`: regular one from the distribution... |
| 07:08 xok | M`cc`: but the firmware now loads normally... |
| 07:08 xok | M`cc`: I just copied it to the wrong place... |
| 07:09 xok | M`cc`: I should copy it in the tftp root but copied it to the nfs root... |
| 07:09 M`cc` | interesting, why does it even know about bnx2 before initrd is loaded? |
| 07:10 xok | it doesn't... |
| 07:10 xok | :-) |
| 07:11 M`cc` | okay, then why does it say "loading initrd.gz" _after_ it fails to load bnx2 firmware? :) |
| 07:13 xok | the text on the screen at that tiime is overlapped... |
| 07:13 xok | so that the loading initrd.gz becomes the last one, though it was the second (after kernel loading)... |
| 07:14 oz_ | I think it just _tries_ to load it |
| 07:14 oz_ | and think, the _driver_ is there, just the _firmware_ is missing |
| 07:15 M`cc` | oz_: it can't, the bnx2 driver is in the initrd :) |
| 07:15 M`cc` | xok: oh, I see |
| 07:15 oz_ | this is due due License things. |
| 07:15 oz_ | M`cc`: compters do follow logic. always. |
| 07:16 xok | I've got new error here... |
| 07:17 xok | init: line 215: can't open /scipts/live |
| 07:18 xok | and follows kernel panic - not syncing |
| 07:18 xok | oz_: M`cc`can you guys help?.. |
| 07:18 M`cc` | if you copied the text well, there's a typo in your init |
| 07:19 M`cc` | kind of strange if you use the initrd from your distro |
| 07:19 xok | M`cc`: you mean live right?... |
| 07:20 M`cc` | i mean "scipts" |
| 07:21 xok | no, that's just a typo... |
| 07:21 xok | it prints scripts... |
| 07:21 xok | :-P |
| 07:22 M`cc` | your initrd is damaged in some way but I have no idea how |
| 07:23 oz_ | xok: you have "boot=live" in the pxe arguments? |
| 07:23 oz_ | M`cc`: I think it misses live-boot |
| 07:24 M`cc` | I guess I have to gain some extra levels in initramfs-building |
| 07:24 xok | oz_: let me have a look at it... |
| 07:25 xok | oz_: yes, it has live... |
| 07:25 xok | oz_: should I remove it?.. |
| 07:25 oz_ | nonono |
| 07:26 xok | then what to do?.. |
| 07:27 oz_ | is check if "live-initramfs" is in the initrd |
| 07:28 xok | oz_: how do I do that?... |
| 07:31 oz_ | 'grep live-initramfs /etc/fai/*' could be a starter.... |
| 07:32 oz_ | what does that tell you? |
| 07:38 xok | it says something.. |
| 07:38 xok | oz_: /etc/fai/live.conf:# /etc/live.conf - configuration file for live-initramfs(7) |
| 07:39 xok | oz_: is this normal?.. |
| 07:51 oz_ | add 'live-initramfs' to /etc/fai/NFSROOT |
| 07:52 oz_ | xok: the string should also be found in /etc/fai/NFSROOT |
| 07:52 oz_ | add it, and rebuild nfsroot |
| 07:52 oz_ | what version of fai are you using? |
| 07:52 xok | oz_: how do I check?.. |
| 07:52 xok | sorry.. |

| 07:53 oz_ | wow |
| 07:54 oz_ | I thought live-initramfs should be in it by default |
| 07:55 xok | oz_: can you help me to include that string to /etc/fai/NFSROOT?.. |
| 07:55 xok | I don't know how to do that... |
| 07:56 oz_ | e.g. "echo live-initramfs >> /etc/fai/NFSROOT" |
| 07:56 xok | :-D |
| 07:56 oz_ | or take any text editor of your choice add simply add it :) |
| 07:57 xok | oz_: I forgot how to rebuild the fai.... :-P |
| 07:57 xok | I've setup this pretty in the past... |
| 07:57 oz_ | make-fai-nfsroot |
| 07:58 xok | thanks... |
| 08:01 xok | oz_: oh I've got anyther question... |
| 08:02 xok | oz_: when istalling from the regular CD image or from network install I've got ability to complete commands with command line... |
| alekibango (~alekibang@ip-94-113-217-19.net.upcbroadband.cz) left irc: Remote host closed the connection |
| 08:03 xok | but when istalled from the fai it is not able to do so... |
| 08:03 xok | oz_: can you help me with this too?.. what package should I instal to have the same possibility?.. |
| 08:03 xok | or how do I do that?.. |
| 08:04 oz_ | "bash" :) |
| 08:04 xok | :-) |
| 08:04 xok | bash is already installed.. |
| 08:04 xok | but the feature doesn't work... |
| 08:04 xok | :-) |
| 08:04 xok | you can test it yourself... |
| 08:04 oz_ | enter "bash" |
| 08:04 oz_ | what do you get? |
| 08:05 xok | the same thing as I had previously... :-) |
| 08:05 xok | service lightt[TAB] doesn't work for example... |
| 08:05 xok | though it works perfectly with installs from CD... |
| 08:06 oz_ | normally this 'fixes' this |
| 08:06 oz_ | bash -l? |
| 08:06 oz_ | I've got work here, you know? |
| 08:06 xok | and?... |
| 08:06 M`cc` | you want bash-completion |
| 08:07 M`cc` | that's for completing not just commands but also arguments for some of them |
| 08:07 M`cc` | (and for pissing me off when it tries to be smarter than me) |

| 08:09 xok1 | M`cc`: thank you very, very much... |
| 08:09 xok1 | M`cc`: this was a really missing feature and I couldn't find it... |

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