Hi all! I need help from you. Even if this problem is out of this project, some hints may help.
This is very strange problem. I have net boot setup working fine for a half year at lest. I am using it mostly for test purposes as diskless workstation. The file system (installed packages) auto-upgraded every day, while kernel and initrd upgraded manually sometime. Last Friday I try to use it as router with 3 interfaces and it fail. The problem is that when kernel boot, before mount root fs the interface switch to half-duplex. This break connection and thus booting can not continue. The wonder is that if I remove two interfaces it booted successfully. Moreover, this router booting normally from disk with all of those three interfaces. The same true for the debian installer booted from network (pxe boot). That is why, I think this problem in some way concerned with debian-live. But I don't understand how. What I have tried. All of those interfaces are 3c905 100Mbit pci cards. Turn off auto-negotiation and force full-duplex in the cards bios don't help. Force different interrupts levels for network cards in the system bios don't help. Kernel options noacpi and noapic don't help. The same result for different kernels: 2.6.18-4-686, 2.6.22-3-686, 2.6.22-3-486 Any ideas welcome. -- ********************************* **** Vladimir Stavrinov ****** ******* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ****** ********************************* _______________________________________________ debian-live-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel
