Re: [sisuite-users] Kernel panic on boot on DELL R720

2014-04-04 Thread Pierre BLONDEAU

Hello,

I have not thought that I could install an old kernel and update the 
drivers.

It works for me.

Regards.

Ok,

I understand, no problem.

Why did you not use an existent live system ( like systemrescuecd ) with
some simple customization to be able to run master script ? It's just to
know if there is a technical reason and not waste time trying.

Ok, the good news is that you can boot.

The initrd generation in systemimager is broken since the beginning as
it assumes that the kernel includes from the build OS have the same
structures as the includes shipped with the kernel that is built for
the initrd. In the past, that was the case, most supported distros
were using kernel-2.6, unfortunately, now we have distros that still
use kernel-2.6 (rhel-6) and distros that uses kernel 3.X (fedora-17+,
...) and thus it becomes a problem when building things like lvn that
uses kernel structure. They uses the build OS structure, but runs on
the psecific kernel that has different structures from the build OS.
Thus lvn have problems (crash, freezes, ...).
I did my best to patch the initrd component build to use as much as I
can the most relevant includes, but there are some cases where it is
not possible unfortunately.

I'm working on a full rewrite of the initrd template generation by
using dracut.

Using dractu would remove the need to use kernels that are different
from the build os while keeping the advantage to support latest
hardwares. The build time would be greatly reduced (no need to build a
kernel and many components. The build would be reduced to specific
components like bittorent client and a few other things. More over,
the libs, kernel structures and binaries would be in siync each
together, thus far more stable.

I've started testing and I'm able to build a next-gen initrd, but I'm
still unable to boot it normally as it uses systemd and I haven't yet
written the logic for that (easy).

I'm currently extremely buzy at preparing an OSCAR Cluster release for
rhel6. Then I'l concentrate on fixing systemImager initrd template. I
hope to have somethign ready before summer.

Best regards.

Hello,

I made some others test. A Debian wheezy 64bits netinstall or an Ubuntu
12.04 LTS 64 bits netinstall work fine.  For me a

I take the default Debian kernel and initrd from the installation and i
use it with PXE. The process stop when the init process try to find root
partition. All is OK because i haven't changed the PXE cmdline to boot
normally.

So, I tried to take this kernel and one initrd created by
si_prepareclient on this fresh installation. I have exactly the same
problem of /init not found.

I think the problem, is in the generating of the initrd but i don't know
how to debug it.

I have updated the BIOS.

Have you an other idea ?

Network cards in this machine are too recent for our old kernel. It's a
personalise ubuntu 2.6.32 with maximum of module. We had compiled the
version 1.6.2 of the e1000e driver's . This version is too old for our
machine. This kernel boot correctly, but the installation plant during
the network configuration.

So we tried with kernels 3.X after have patched si_prepareclient.

We tested a lot of combinations:
- Kernel : 3.2, 3.8 and 3.11 ( lts ubuntu )
- si_prepareclient patched by us or that present in the 4.3 beta on
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/

We also tried the kernel and initrd provided by
systemimager-boot-amd64-standard:

- 4.3 -

At the begining, we have a kernel panic that looks like:

Objet : [sisuite-users] Kernel panic on boot on DELL R720

Good After Noon,

We recently purchased a DELL R720.

Network cards in this machine are too recent for our old kernel. It's a
personalise ubuntu 2.6.32 with maximum of module. We had compiled the
version 1.6.2 of the e1000e driver's . This version is too old for our
machine. This kernel boot correctly, but the installation plant during
the network configuration.

So we tried with kernels 3.X after have patched si_prepareclient.

We tested a lot of combinations:
  - Kernel : 3.2, 3.8 and 3.11 ( lts ubuntu )
  - si_prepareclient patched by us or that present in the 4.3 beta on
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/

We also tried the kernel and initrd provided by
systemimager-boot-amd64-standard:
  - 4.1.99.svn4556yaubert -
http://download.systemimager.org/debian/pool/main/s/systemimager/
  - 4.3 -
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/debian-7-x86_64/Early

At the begining, we have a kernel panic that looks like:
Freeing unused kernel memory: 532k freed
Failed to execute /init
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to
kernel.
See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance.
Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.7.5-boel_v4.3.0 #1
Call Trace:
  [8134bbb1] panic+0xb6/0x1b5
  [81340640] ? rest_init+0x70/0x70
  [81340736] kernel_init+0xf6/0x100
  [8135192c] ret_form_fork+0x7c/0xb0
  [81340640] ? rest_init+0x70/0x70

We tried disabling a maximum of kernel's arguments and increase the size
of ramdisk in PXE's command line but it does not change :
LABEL systemimager
 KERNEL u64/new/kernel
 APPEND initrd=u64/new/initrd.img root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=100

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Re: [sisuite-users] Kernel panic on boot on DELL R720

2014-03-10 Thread Pierre BLONDEAU

Hy,

Thank you for the answer.

The ubuntu's server kernel point to linux-image-3.2.0-60-generic, i have 
tried it ( and double check now to be sure ).


I see in the page that i must use a kernel at least 3.8 for Intel's 
E5-2600v2 precessor. But i have aslo tried 
linux-image-generic-lts-raring - 3.8.0.37.37 and 
linux-image-generic-lts-saucy - 3.11.0.18.17 .


Did you say i should try the installer kernel ( from the netinst ) as 
pxe kernel ?


Regards

I would suggest to use this release for the deployment server: 
http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201205-10987/ and the enable use 
your own kernel. This may help.

Best regards.

Hy,

I have tried with the netinstall kernel and i have the same kernel panic 
less the call trace:


Freeing unused kernel memory : 836k ()
Failed to execute /init
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to 
kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance.


Have you a other idea ?
