Greetings,
I have been working on this issue for a few days now and can't seem to get it
figured out. I have run copycds and am attempting to create a stateless image
for CentOS 5.6 to boot IBM DX360M2 compute nodes. Genimage runs with no errors
and I have made sure the drivers are in the initrd created by packimage.
Genimage line:
genimage -i eth0 -n libphy,tg3,igb -o centos5.6 -p compute_cent56
Packimage line:
packimage -p compute_cent56 -a x86_64 -o centos5.6 -m squashfs
Once init hits netboot the following is displayed:
Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
waiting for link... 0 seconds.
Sending request for IP information through eth0
ERROR: Interface setup failed: pumpSetupInterface failed: get link - 19: No
such device.
/lib from the initrd:
[root@master3 lib]# ls
firmware igb.ko libphy.ko tg3.ko
Relevant bits from initrd's init:
insmod /lib/libphy.ko
insmod /lib/tg3.ko
insmod /lib/igb.ko
netstart
while ! ifconfig | grep inet; do
echo Failed to acquire address, retrying
sleep 1
netstart
done
I have tried ordering the netdrivers differently as well as not listing any
netdrivers. At this point I am at a loss as to how to proceed. The driver list
is the same list used for CentOS 5.3 which is working. The package list is much
the that same but that shouldn't matter based on the point at which this error
occurs. I have also tried with eth1 in case the newer kernel in 5.6 orders the
nics differently for some odd reason. Any help at all would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
