[XenPPC] Question about netbooting with initrd/initramfs

2007-01-25 Thread David M Daly
I've been having some trouble netbooting linux on a JS21 with an initramfs, and wanted to see if there were any known issues, etc. Are there any difficulties in netbooting as an image on a JS21 with an initramfs/initrd? Any secret voodoo? I'm using Maria's branch of the linux-ppc kernel both on

[XenPPC] Crash with ssh

2006-11-27 Thread David M Daly
I got the following error this morning from the console on one of our JS21s. I had a program that was supposed to ssh into the blade and reboot it after shutting down GPFS. I don't think it did any of the gpfs shutdown before crashing. Here is the error message. I saw it because I happened to b

[XenPPC] Xen hangs

2006-09-25 Thread David M Daly
I'm running Xen on a JS21 and am using a straight xen_maple_defconfig for Dom0, both cloned from mercurial on xenbits. When I boot from nfsroot, sometimes Xen hangs. I've included a sample output below. I originally thought it was dependant on boot args passed to Xen and Dom0, but now I notice cha

[XenPPC] Xen on JS21 - Dom0 rootfs on SAN

2006-09-25 Thread David M Daly
I consistently get an error booting Dom0 from a SAN on JS21. I'm using xen_maple_defconfig + QLA2xxx device driver. With an nfsroot boot argument passed in, the system boots fine. With a root=/dev/nfs changed to root=/dev/sdc1 (a lun on the SAN), it mounts the root filesystem, and then fails wi
