Category: Network
Item Group: Software Error
Release: 0.94
Reproducibility: Every Time
In our configuration, we want to get a configfile over TFTP, if the server is
availible and otherwise, use a fallback mechanism.
But, if I stop the TFTP Server, the Grub waits very long (longer than 10
Minutes) and not use the fallback entry.
Then I press Ctrl-C the Fallback entry is booted.
But this is not possible at our production Systems, because i have to order a
Taxi to Drive to the Server ...
A workaround is to change the Values in netboot/etherboot.h:
#define TIMEOUT (1 * TICKS_PER_SEC)
#define TFTP_TIMEOUT (3 * TICKS_PER_SEC)
#define TFTP_REXMT (1 * TICKS_PER_SEC)
I don't know if this is good, pehabs someone who is firm in TFTP Servers
schould find the real reason, why we have to wait as long
Config File is:
-- snip ---
default 0
fallback 1
timeout 8
ifconfig --address=172.16.0.21 --server=172.16.0.93
title Netzwerk Config (Default)
configfile (nd)/configfile
title Linux-2.4.21-LIDS
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p5 vga=788 apm=on acpi=off
apic lids=0 security=0
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd
-- snap ---
