Hi Dan

 

If you SSH to the box, you can swap the runnix and xrunnix files:

 

/oldroot/cdrom/runnix

/oldroot/cdrom/runnix.img

/oldroot/cdrom/Xrunnix

/oldroot/cdrom/Xrunnix.img

 

That should mean that it will reboot without intervention. I’ve had to go 
through the same process for live box of ours.

 

Hope this helps

 

Tom

AstLinux Team,

 

Thank your for your tireless efforts.  I know it's often said, but it truly 
bears repeating.

 

I also appreciate the clear, unambiguous upgrade instructions 
<http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:upgrade-0.7> , which I followed explicitly 
when making the effort to upgrade from 0.7.10 to 1.0.1.  Everything was going 
according to the instructions until I rebooted.  My first indication that 
things hadn't gone well came from the Web Interface, which revealed a number of 
failed registrations.  ("Registration Sent" was shown for all providers under 
SIP Trunk Registrations.)

 

Further investigation revealed many pages of Notices, Warnings, and Errors in 
the log.  There are too many to list here, but I saved the file and would 
gladly forward it to one or more developers by private e-mail.  Although I was 
able to access the machine by SSH and HTTPS, it was apparent that much of the 
trouble impacted network functionality.  Even a PING to one of our providers 
didn't work.  No IP address was revealed, suggesting we were having trouble 
with DNS resolution.  I regret that I wasn't able to do more troubleshooting; I 
was anxious to get the unit back in service.

 

Because the web interface was working, I used it to revert to 0.7.10 and 
reboot.  However, the hardware didn't successfully boot.  A check of the local 
monitor suggested (I think) that Runnix 0.4 wasn't compatible with 0.7.10.  
After entering "xrunnix" at the local console, everything seems to be working 
as it had before - under Runnix 0.3.3 & AstLinux 0.7.10.

 

My immediate concern is that I'd like to get the hardware to a point where 
it'll survive a power failure without trying to boot into the new version of 
Runnix or AstLinux.  While we don't experience many power failures and the PBX 
is on a big, fat UPS, Murphy's Law dictates that any power failure will occur 
the next time I'm out-of-town or otherwise unavailable.  Until a solution is 
found, can you tell me how to temporarily remove the new versions of Runnix and 
AstLinux?  That would be very helpful.

 

Of course, it might also be nice to figure out what's causing this trouble - 
just in case it impacts other users.  Also, while AstLinux 0.7.10 is working 
perfectly for my present purposes, I'd prefer to not be stuck-in-time.

 

By the way, there's a significant likelihood that this problem is a result of 
some hardware incompatibility, which I've had before with this machine.  It's a 
HP DC7300, 1.8 GHz Pentium Dual Core Blade Workstation with 512 MB RAM.  
Previously, earlier AstLinux versions wouldn't load from the SATA 
Drive-on-module.  That was solved quite some time ago and doesn't seem to be 
the case now.  Also, it appears that both NICs are being detected and drivers 
are being loaded.

 

Thanks in advance for everyone's thoughts and advice.

 

Dan
