------- Comment From kn...@us.ibm.com 2015-07-22 11:43 EDT------- I have tried a couple different methods of setup, and both methods produced the same results:
Method 1: 1. Successful DHCP install of Ubuntu 14.04.3 onto pole2lp1. 2. Installation forces reboot, and comes back to the login prompt, where I am able to enter my chosen UID and log in. 3. Create password for root using sudo passwd root. (same internal pw) 4. issue reboot command as user after setting root.. (this is not part of my instruction set, I just did it because I wanted to verify I could reboot and log in as root) 5. The system reboots, and comes back to the login prompt, but does not get past the UserID entry. Neither root nor chosen UID worked. It always stayed at the user prompt after clearing the screen. 6. I have always had to reinstall to try to work around this. I Always reinstall to the same device (mpath0). Sometimes the reinstall works, but it is intermittent. Other users that have seen this may not be using an mpath device. Method 2: I got these directions from another IBMer when I started in LTE: This is a snippet of the 1st few steps. After OS installation and login: 1st I created the root pw as before, but this time I did not reboot, simply logged off (exit) as 'USER', and then logged back in as root. This worked. (These directions are for LTE, however in reality I installed tools from kte) 1. Mount the /LTE folder from lte server >mkdir /LTE >mount lte:/LTE /LTE 2. Run setup general to install the useful packages and reboot the machine: >/LTE/tools/setup general >init 6 At the time I ran these steps, I did not know that the 'init 6' step here would reboot the lpar. When it rebooted the lpar, It came back up to the same fail as method 1. Could not get past the prompt for user ID, even after multiple reboots. I had to reinstall to get beyond this point again. The next time I successfully installed (it took multiple attempts) and was able to set the root PW and log in as root (no lpar reboot) I skipped the 'init 6' step, and was able to setup and install the LTE test suites, and successfully get the lpar into the active run. I have still not rebooted this lpar since last Friday, and it is still running. I am fairly certain that if I reboot it, it will hit the fail again. So, the initial reboot after installation that is forced by the installer works properly, and returns to the login prompt where I can log in as the user I just created. At this point, it doesn't matter whether or not I activate the root user. If I reboot the lpar after the initial install completes and reboots once I hit this bug. So, I don't think my method of activating root is the issue, as I have recently discovered there are a couple of different methods of doing this. Please let me know if you need any further details.
