Hello,

I made some others test. A Debian wheezy 64bits netinstall or an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bits netinstall work fine. For me a

I take the default Debian kernel and initrd from the installation and i use it with PXE. The process stop when the init process try to find root partition. All is OK because i haven't changed the PXE cmdline to boot normally.

So, I tried to take this kernel and one initrd created by si_prepareclient on this fresh installation. I have exactly the same problem of /init not found.

I think the problem, is in the generating of the initrd but i don't know how to debug it.

I have updated the BIOS.

Have you an other idea ?

Regards

Then I would try rhel6 netinstall or fedora20 netinstall
the rhel6 kernel is often well tested by DELL.

I would also try t-o install latest BIOS.

As a last resort I would call DEeLL support, maybe you have an hardware bug, or 
maybe a BIOS config bug that is listed in a knowledge base.

Best regards,

Olivier.

Hy,

Thank you for the answer.

The ubuntu's server kernel point to linux-image-3.2.0-60-generic, i have
tried it ( and double check now to be sure ).

I see in the page that i must use a kernel at least 3.8 for Intel's
E5-2600v2 precessor. But i have aslo tried
linux-image-generic-lts-raring -> 3.8.0.37.37 and
linux-image-generic-lts-saucy -> 3.11.0.18.17 .

Did you say i should try the installer kernel ( from the netinst ) as
pxe kernel ?

Hy,

I have tried with the netinstall kernel and i have the same kernel panic
less the call trace:

Freeing unused kernel memory : 836k (....)
Failed to execute /init
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to
kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance.

Have you a other idea ?

Regards

I would suggest to use this release for the deployment server:
http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201205-10987/ and the
enable use your own kernel. This may help.

Best regards.

Objet : [sisuite-users] Kernel panic on boot on DELL R720

Good After Noon,

We recently purchased a DELL R720.

Network cards in this machine are too recent for our old kernel. It's a
personalise ubuntu 2.6.32 with maximum of module. We had compiled the
version 1.6.2 of the e1000e driver's . This version is too old for our
machine. This kernel boot correctly, but the installation plant during
the network configuration.

So we tried with kernels 3.X after have patched si_prepareclient.

We tested a lot of combinations:
    - Kernel : 3.2, 3.8 and 3.11 ( lts ubuntu )
    - si_prepareclient patched by us or that present in the 4.3 beta on
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/

We also tried the kernel and initrd provided by
systemimager-boot-amd64-standard:
    - 4.1.99.svn4556yaubert ->
http://download.systemimager.org/debian/pool/main/s/systemimager/
    - 4.3 ->
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/debian-7-x86_64/Early


At the begining, we have a kernel panic that looks like:
Freeing unused kernel memory: 532k freed
Failed to execute /init
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to
kernel.
See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance.
Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.7.5-boel_v4.3.0 #1
Call Trace:
    [<ffffffff8134bbb1>] panic+0xb6/0x1b5
    [<ffffffff81340640>] ? rest_init+0x70/0x70
    [<ffffffff81340736>] kernel_init+0xf6/0x100
    [<ffffffff8135192c>] ret_form_fork+0x7c/0xb0
    [<ffffffff81340640>] ? rest_init+0x70/0x70

We tried disabling a maximum of kernel's arguments and increase the size
of ramdisk in PXE's command line but it does not change :
LABEL systemimager
       KERNEL u64/new/kernel
       APPEND initrd=u64/new/initrd.img root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=1000000

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
