And also, the first time I somehow managed to install the server, I did it without changing the default kernel options. The "rcons" console supposedly works because I can use it if I boot the server on the local drives (it has been installed once using xcat). I suspect I might have hanged something inadvertently, but cannot find what causes the server not to boot further when re-installing it ... I recall there is maybe a way to "ssh" into the server while it is installing, but couldn't make it work (it is CentOS 7.3). > Method to disable the dirver > R::rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau R::nouveau.modeset=0 > Example for node01 > [root@mgt ~]# tabdump bootparams > #node,kernel,initrd,kcmdline,addkcmdline,dhcpstatements,adddhcpstatements,comments,disable > "node01","xcat/osimage/rhels7.2-x86_64-install-compute/vmlinuz","xcat/osimage/rhels7.2-x86_64-install-compute/initrd.img","quiet > inst.repo=http://172.20.0.1:80/install/rhels7.2/x86_64 > inst.ks=http://172.20.0.1:80/install/autoinst/node01 ip=dhcp inst.cmdline > console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8r","R::rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau > R::nouveau.modeset=0",,,, > [root@mgt ~]# > [root@mgt ~]# lsdef node01 | grep addkcmdline > addkcmdline=R::rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau R::nouveau.modeset=0 > > > hope this help > > Peter CZ peng > Department :Complex Solution Rack TE > Address:ISH3 Shenzhen > Lenovo China > +86 86361590 > +86 18129979128 > 609 1590 > peng...@lenovo.com > > > Lenovo.com /www.lenovo.com > Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | Blogs | Forums > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Nicolas Roosen <nicolas.roo...@hpe.com> > Sent: Friday, June 8, 2018 9:21 PM > To: xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [External] [xcat-user] HP DL380 Gen9 and xCat > > Hello, > > I'm trying to install a HP Proliant DL380 Gen9, in "Legacy BIOS" mode. > > The server has been integrated into xcat, but every time I try to install it > (nodeset osimage), the server boots, download the initrd, and nothing happens. > > When I launch the console (rcons), it looks like "stuck", without any > messages beside these: > > [ 21.550488] nouveau 0000:08:00.0: DRM: Pointer to flat panel table > invalid > [Thu Jun 7 17:49:30 2018][ 21.988127] nouveau 0000:08:00.0: priv: > GPC0: 419df4 00000000 (1940820e) > [Thu Jun 7 17:49:30 2018][ 22.019890] nouveau 0000:08:00.0: priv: > GPC1: 419df4 00000000 (1940820e) > [Thu Jun 7 17:49:30 2018][ 22.051407] nouveau 0000:08:00.0: priv: > GPC2: 419df4 00000000 (1940820e) > [Thu Jun 7 17:49:30 2018][ 22.083623] nouveau 0000:08:00.0: priv: > GPC3: 419df4 00000000 (1940820e) > [Thu Jun 7 17:49:37 2018][ 22.284643] nouveau 0000:84:00.0: DRM: > Pointer to flat panel table invalid > [Thu Jun 7 17:49:37 2018][ 22.732089nouveau 0000:84:00.0: priv: GPC0: > 419df4 00000000 (1d40820e) > [Thu Jun 7 17:49:38 2018][ 22.763476] nouveau 0000:84:00.0: priv: > GPC1: 419df4 00000000 (1d40820e) > [Thu Jun 7 17:49:38 2018][ 22.794649] nouveau 0000:84:00.0: priv: > GPC2: 419df4 00000000 (1d40820e) > [Thu Jun 7 17:49:38 2018][ 22.825464] nouveau 0000:84:00.0: priv: > GPC3: 419df4 00000000 (1d40820e) > > I know this has worked, because the server could be installed once. > But now I try to re-install it, and nothing happens. > > I setup xcat in debug mode (1), but there are no specific messages into the > logs. > > What could I look for in order to debug this installation? > > > Thanks. > -- > Nicolas > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech > sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > xCAT-user mailing list > xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > xCAT-user mailing list > xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user > -- Nicolas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list xCAT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user
