Re: Boot failure

I was able to manually mount all the partitions and all the data seemed fine. At this point, I'm ready to risk an fsck or pretty much anything. also has anything changed with the server (updates etc etc) for example why was it rebooted? Because of a stupid mistake on my part. I was trying to add an address to the NIC card, and rather than *add* the address to a long list of addresses (used for https websites), I made that the only address. I was only experimenting, so the file in /etc that I use to set up the addresses (using ifconfig) was unchanged. I figured a quick reboot would solve the problem, so I logged in via the console and did a clean shutdown. When I turned the machine back on, it would not boot. I seem to recall a verbose boot mode in the boot menu. does that give any hints beyond the freeze you see when you try and boot? It prints one line, which I cannot recall, unfortunately. Are you using the GENERIC kernel I don't know. This is the oldest freebsd machine that I run. I didn't install the OS, myself. It's a 6.2 machine that had been running in production mode without any updates for over a year when I took it over. I am embarrassed to say I never had the nerve to do any updates on it, either, because when I started on it, I didn't know enough about FreeBSD to risk the 40 websites that were running on it. I've been meaning to update it for awhile, but it is locked down tight with PF and has had zero problems up until now. Famous last words... if not have you tried it? No. I need to figure out how to do that, and I didn't have enough brain power last night after doing all those backups. Boot to single user mode and just run: fsck -y You don't need any special options the first time. fsck should tell you if there are further problems. After sleeping on it, I am wondering if I can kill two birds with one stone... by using 7.2 install CDs to upgrade the machine? I believe there is an 'upgrade' option on the install menu (I'm burning some 7.2 CDs right now to double check.) Or would it be safer to try to bring up the machine on it's own with a 6.2 generic kernel, first? Please don't even think of doing that! You might go mad with the several issues you may end up facing. And upgrading a production system from an install CD is something that I will never do. I always use csup/cvsup, but perhaps you can also use freebsd-update. I advise you get to fix the problem at hand before thinking of updating. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!. -- Lucky Dube ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Boot failure
On Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at 5:31 PM, Identry jalmb...@identry.com wrote: Are you using the GENERIC kernel After more research, I think the answer to this is no. There is a directory called /boot/kernel.old. From my reading, I believe this is the original generic kernel? if not have you tried it? Not yet. Section 24.2.3 Major and Minor Upgrades of the Handbook says I can load the generic kernel by renaming /boot/kernel.old to /boot/GENERIC. I think this is what I need to do to boot the generic kernel? -- If the system was running with a custom kernel, use the nextboot(8) command to set the kernel for the next boot to /boot/GENERIC (which was updated): # nextboot -k GENERIC Warning: Before rebooting with the GENERIC kernel, make sure it contains all drivers required for your system to boot properly (and connect to the network, if the machine that is being updated is accessed remotely). In particular, if the previously running custom kernel contained built-in functionality usually provided by kernel modules, make sure to temporarily load these modules into the GENERIC kernel using the /boot/loader.conf facility. You may also wish to disable non-essential services, disk and network mounts, etc. until the upgrade process is complete. The machine should now be restarted with the updated kernel: # shutdown -r now --- So, it sounds like the safe move is to try to get the Generic kernel up and running, and then think about doing an upgrade. Unfortunately, I need to drive back to the server... another 2 hr commute. Gotta find a closer data center :-) If you did not touch the kernel, there is no need to boot GENERIC! Plus you have said that this box is running PF, which is not in the GENERIC kernel! Personally, I am interested in knowing why the system does not mount the root partition on its own when you can do it by hand and it does not complain. Did you by any chance change anyting in /etc/fstab? What entries you do have in /etc/sysctl.conf? Please try fsck -y option first although I am not quite optimistic about it, given that mounting by hand works so far. If I were to upgrade, I'd go to 6.4-STABLE first and wait there while thinking about the next move.

Re: Customized Remote Install

The technical knowledge at the site windows only, so I basically have someone I can have put a CD in a drive and power a machine on. My problem is that the default install of FreeBSD has password authentication turned off, and root SSH disabled. Being a small office, they don't have a IP KVM or some way for me to get to the box to configure it. My hope was that I could make an automated install CD/DVD that configured all the options I want AND change some base config files so I can actually get to the box (or install an SSH key). I know I can do the scripted sysinstall, but from what I could find I would need a floppy or additional CD to put the answer file on. I'm open to other options if someone has gone down this road before! All you need is that the guy at the field office knows something about PC hardware and can type a few commands on any command line. Then there should be a phone. FreeBSD is not as silly as Linux when you move a disk from one box to another. If it is a server box (which requires no GUI) then the only changes you are likely to make are on the network configurations (ifconfig_* in rc.conf and resolv.conf) and the rest will remain pretty much the same. What I have done is that I have a prototype, which is a SATA disk. I am pretty much okay of the next machine I want to install has a SATA disk, but I am also not worried if it has PATA disk as I know I will only need a change in /etc/fstab. So what I normally do is this: Attach my prototype disk as master on the machine to install, while slaving the disk that the machine had. I enter sysinstall and disklable/newfs the slave disk. I make the disk bootable, enable softupdates on it and I normally create the root mount point (/). Once done, I change the mount point again to, say, /newdisk, so the slave disk is now mounted on /newdisk. After this: dump L0af - / | (cd /newdisk/; restore -rf -) # BTW, I have the habit of creating only / and swap! So now I have a duplicate system on the slave disk. cd /newdisk; ee etc/rc.conf ; ee etc/fstab; ee etc/resol.conf Here I change the ifconfig_ line for the network device (as seen from dmesg.boot), ensure that fstab refers to the correct device names and voila! I save, shutdown, remove my prototype disk, restore the slave disk to master position and reboot and I have a system identical to the proto. Once connected to a live network, I can ssh to it from anywhere I want using my own account and the su to root if needed, though I always prefer sudo. Now, if only you can follow my way, you only need to ship your prototype disk to the field office and get the windows lunnie to do the disk connections, type the commands, etc and you have a server running at the field office in no time! Of course tell him to pack your prototype disk safely and return it to you. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Clothes make the man.
