Well nevermind I figured it out after looking at the install-system script. I provided ida/c0d0 instead of /dev/ida/c0d0 Wish me luck :) On Jan 13, 2008 1:57 PM, Max <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ah!

Re: [Vyatta-users] Compaq DL360 G1 - cpqarray
Ah! Success, it worked! The drives are getting detected as expected on boot and I can fdisk them and such. The problem is now the install! When I am promted ton what drive to install the software on, it does not contain any thing... I found the following drives on your system: Install the image on? []: I tried to manualy set the drive /dev/ida/c0d0 at the prompt, but it looks like it just hangs. Any ideas?

It looks like it can't find or open the initramfs. In the initrd creation step try this instead. find . | cpio --quiet --dereference -o -H newc | gzip -9 > ../tmpiso/boot/initrd.img Cheers, Robert.

That was more less what i was going to do. You saved me a good deal of work trying to figure out the right way to recreate the ISO.

Re: [Vyatta-users] Compaq DL360 G1 - cpqarray
Max, To avoid building from scratch you could just edit the initrd. Try something like the following... 1. mount the iso to a loop device and copy the contents to a tmpdir mount -o loop ./livecd-vc3.iso ./dir cp -R ./dir/* ./tmpiso/ umount ./dir 2. extract the initrd.img mkdir tmpinitrd cd tmpinitrd gzip -cd ../tmpiso/boot/initrd.img.img | cpio -imd --quiet 3. remove the module rm ./lib/modules/2.6.20/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym53c8xx.ko 4. zip up the initrd and copy it into the temporary iso dir chmod -R 755 ../tmpiso rm ../tmpiso/boot/initrd.img find . | cpio --quiet -c -o | gzip -9 -n >> ../tmpiso/boot/initrd.img 5. create the iso cd ../tmpiso mkisofs -J -r -o ../livecd.iso -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /home/rbays/tmpiso/ Should work...

Re: [Vyatta-users] Compaq DL360 G1 - cpqarray
No I have not had any time to fool with it these past few days... but from what I can tell the sym53c8xx module is loaded before the needed cpqarray module and thats what is causing the failure. I have tried unloading the modules and reloading cpqarray but don't seem to have any luck. My guess is the SCSI controller needs to be reset or what have you.

It's also an integrated system; you configure the entire router through the Vyatta interface, rather than running multiple programs and editing numerous and varied configuration files, all with different formats in entertaining locations.

Other than the stuff Aubrey mentioned at the macro-feature level (firewall, VPN, NAT, etc.), we have also made extensive changes to the routing protocol codebase to include features such as VLANs and scalability enhancements and bug fixes. -- Dave ___ Vyatta-users mailing list Vyatta-users@mailman.vyatta.com http://mailman.vyatta.com/mailman/listinfo/vyatta-users
Re: [Vyatta-users] Compaq DL360 G1 - cpqarray
As far as I am aware, XORP does nothing but routing. Vyatta adds in the firewall, nat, vpn, and other features. They've also made changes to XORP itself. One of the Vyatta guys will probably chime in with more detail than I can provide here soon. -- Aubrey Wells Senior Engineer Shelton | Johns Technology Group A Vyatta Ready Partner www.sheltonjohns.com On Nov 26, 2007, at 6:20 PM, Max wrote: > I am curious as to what makes Vyatta different from XORP other than > the commercial support?

Re: [Vyatta-users] Compaq DL360 G1 - cpqarray
I am curious as to what makes Vyatta different from XORP other than the commercial support? Are there features in Vyatta that XORP does not have?

Re: [Vyatta-users] Compaq DL360 G1 - cpqarray
I have been unable to blacklist the sym53c8xx module from the boot loader so I am going to try to create another live CD with out the sym53c8xx in the initramfs. Unless anyone has any comments?

[Vyatta-users] Compaq DL360 G1 - cpqarray
Hey'a fellas! I have a bit of a head scratcher here.. it seems the Vyatta 3.0 live CD does not work out of the box on G1 Compaq DL360's. >From what I can tell the sym53c8xx module is loaded before the needed cpqarray module and thats what is causing the failure. I have tried unloading the modules and reloading cpqarray but don't seem to have any luck. My guess is the SCSI controller needs to be reset or what have you. Is there a way to prevent the sym53c8xx module from loading from the boot loader? Or should I look into recreating the live CD from scratch with my own kernel?
