Re: [Unattended] Fibre disk
Thanks Sebastian, I have tried the new boot cd from the link you sent. It appears that this new kernel now recognizes my boot disk (I have a /sys/block/sda). However, I seem to have a new problem. I am using PXE boot and when the gentoo kernel tries to get a dhcp address, it fails stating the address is in use. This is not the case and I have not seen this behavior with any of the other boot disks. During the initial PXE boot, the node gets an IP address without any issue. I have also tried running dhcpcd manually from the kernel and I get the same response. What could be causing this? Is there a problem with the DHCP client software in this kernel?

I have an IBM Blade which uses a qlogic 2300 series fibre interface to a disk array. I am using PXE and the linux boot disk. Upon boot, I get: Unrecognized interface type in /sys/firmware/edd/int13_dev80/interface Catting this file gives me: FIBRE wwid: 500507630e0004b1 lun: 0 I have tried editing the find-boot-device command as specified in this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] net/msg04222.html but it would appear that I need edd to detect the disk before that will work. There is no entry for a disk in /sys/block (filled with ram devices and nothing else). From what I have read, edd 3 will detect a fibre interface but I am unsure how to put this change into linuxaux. I have tried replacing edd.ko with one from a working Redhat 4 system (which detects the disk), but it failed. Is there a way I can recompile linuxaux? Is there another fix for this problem? Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks! -- --- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Unattended] Fibre disk
Hi, this could be a problem of your lease times If you are running ISC DHCP you should use this options in your configuration: dynamic-bootp-lease-length 10 If you are running some other DHCP server you should consult the manual to avoid this errors. I dont think that this is a problem of the gentoo boot cd. Maybe you can also check if the lease is released for this IP address? greetings mario Am Freitag, den 29.09.2006, 10:21 -0400 schrieb Bryan Dunn: Thanks Sebastian, I have tried the new boot cd from the link you sent.

Re: [Unattended] Fibre disk
Thanks Mario, No dice on the lease time. I set the default lease time to 10 and still have the problem. Running dhcpd in debug mode, it appears as if the dhcp server does offer the client an IP address, but the client seems to think the address is already in use in the DHCPDISCOVER routine. The offer from the server is therefore rejected and it keeps looping in this manner. The original boot cd that came with unattended 4.6 did not have this issue (it got an IP address during the PXE boot and received the address once it booted to the kernel).

Re: [Unattended] Fibre disk
I just realized that I may have made a mistake with my boot image. I am using pxelinux.0 for my boot image and my pxelinux.cfg/default file points to the uakernel and uaroot files. Is there another boot image I am supposed to be using (outside of pxelinux.0)? Thanks, Bryan On Fri, 2006-09-29 at 10:42 -0400, Bryan Dunn wrote: Thanks Mario, No dice on the lease time.

Re: [Unattended] Fibre disk
Maybe you should upgrade your pxelinux.0 to the newest version. Just a thought :-) The pxe config is ok that way.

Re: [Unattended] Fibre disk
mmm What dhcp-server you are using? The gentoo boot-cd use an other dhcp client. Maybe here is the problem. You can fill out a bug report for this client software here: http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=4229 I have decide to use dhcpcd because it is in active development, the last offical release from udhcp was in 2002 But if more and more people running into problems with that I will update the boot stuff and place also udhcp on it If you want this feature please fill out a feature request here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=127437atid=712843 greetings mario Am Freitag, den 29.09.2006, 10:42 -0400 schrieb Bryan Dunn: Thanks Mario, No dice on the lease time.

Re: [Unattended] Fibre disk - Solved
Sebastian and Mario, thanks for your help. Here are the steps I took to resolve the problem: 1. Used the latest boot kernel from Unattended-gui, which contained drivers from my hardware 2. Unarchived the uaroot boot image -mkdir /tmp/initrd -cd /tmp/initrd -gzip -dc /tftpboot/uaroot | cpio -id 3. To get dhcp to work: -added dhclient and dhclient-scripts commands to /tmp/initrd/sbin from a redhat box -created the /tmp/initrd/var/lib/dhcp/ directory and dhcpd.leases file beneath it -edited /tmp/initrd/etc/master to enable running of dhclient instead of dhcpcd: #dhcpcd -t 20 -i $i $LOGTTY 21 dhclient $LOGTTY 21 4. Edited /tmp/initrd/usr/bin/find-boot-device to include FIBRE disk interfaces as seen in post http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04222.html 5. Re-archived the image -cd /tmp/initrd -find . | cpio -H newc -o /tftpboot/uaroot I am now presented with the unattended partitioning scheme prompt when I boot.
