I find it interesting that there were more responses on the topic of email 
threading than there were for the original question.

I'll bet we get about 4 more posts because I top-posted.  Can't we cut each 
other some slack?

[opensuse] Can't boot new kernel.

2007-11-20 Thread Mike Diehl
Hi all.

I'm needing to upgrade the kernel on a SLES10 server.  I've done kernel 
upgrades before so this shouldn't be a problem.

However, when I reboot, I get:

ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs
..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2--1 pin2=-1

And then the machine hangs.  With the factory kernel, this system boots and 
runs fine.

Anyone know how to fix this?

TIA,

Mike.

[opensuse] Trouble with NIC bonding

2007-11-13 Thread Mike Diehl
Hi all,

I'm trying to get nic bonding to work in active-backup mode, or mode 1 and 
what I seem to be getting is round-robin.

I'm seeing traffic on both of the connected nics.

Here is my configuration for the bond0 interface.:

BOOTPROTO='static'
BROADCAST='173.173.37.255'
IPADDR='173.173.37.120'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
NETWORK='173.173.37.0'
STARTMODE='onboot'
BONDING_MASTER='yes'
BONDING_MODULE_OPS='mode=active-backup use_carrier=0 miimon=100 primary=eth3'
BONDING_SLAVE0='bus-pci-:0a:03.0'
BONDING_SLAVE1='bus-pci-:07:08.0'
BONDING_SLAVE2='bus-pci-:06:07.0'
BONDING_SLAVE3='bus-pci-:09:04.0'


As you can see, I'm using active-backup mode.  However, here is 
what /proc/net/bonding/bond0 says:

Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v2.6.5 (November 4, 2005)

[opensuse] Problem with CD Creator

2007-05-15 Thread Mike Diehl
Hi all,

Well, I've revisited my auto-install CD and I'm having more difficulties.

I've created a control file using the auto install tool in yast2.  I've 
configured a local installation source.

Now I'm trying to use the CD Creator tool to create a disk image.

Once I get through all of the configuration choices, (install source, profile, 
etc.) I get a screen entitled "Saving CD Creator Configuration."

Followed by "=> Write the settings" as the progress indication.

Then I get a box that says:

Errror
Error while writing settings.

Once again, the error message is worthless and there doesn't seem to be a log 
file to be had anywhere...

Any ideas about how to proceede?  This is getting very frustrating!

Mike.

[opensuse] Autoinstall....Grrrr.

2007-05-01 Thread Mike Diehl
Hi all.

I'm still trying to get my auto-install CD to work.  At least now it boots...

But when it fails during the installation. 

I put:

 autoyast=file:\\\control.xml install=cd 

on the kernal parameter line and autoyast starts the installation process.

Then I get a screen with a "An error occured during the installation." error 
message.  There doesn't appear that there is any way to diagnose this and the 
error message is certainly useless.  I've checked that my control.xml file is 
valid XML.  The log files under /var/log didn't give any hints either.

So, how does one approach this problem?

I've attached the control.xml file, if it makes it through the listserv.

Thanx, 
Mike.

I finally got this working.  The file was exactly where I said it was.  The 
problem was that genisoimage was looking for it relative to the CD's root, 
not the current directory.  GRr.

Re: [opensuse] Which distro is best for me?

2007-04-24 Thread Mike Diehl
I was quite impressed!  When I took the test, the program indicated that 
Gentoo would be the best distribution for me.  That's pretty good since I use 
Gentoo at home and at work, almost exclusively.  I am using Suse for the 
first time since it is specified by one of our vendors.  In the past, I've 
used RedHat, Slackware, Mandrake, Knoppix, Yellow Dog, and Caldera.

The other neat thing was that the program indicated that my second choice 
would be Slackware, which is the first distro that I ever used!

I was intrigued by the fact that the program also indicated why it thought a 
given distro would be less than optimum for me.  In the case of Gentoo, it 
indicated the lack of application library would make it less than optimum.  
However, I have to take issue with the lack of applications.

Anyway, here is a single point sample that indicates that your program works 
well.

When I run the script, I get:

You seem to not have create_package_descr installed.

Not particularly interested in finding out what autoyast will do to my Gentoo 
workstation. 

Anyway, this begs the question as to why the command below doesn't work.

When I run it, I get:
genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory './raw/boot/loader'!

Of course, the directory does exist and gnisoimage even scans it!  I'm really 
getting desparate here!

Any help would be appreciated.

No, eventually, it WILL be a DVD.  But if I can't get a CD to work, there's no 
point in burning a DVD, just yet.

I agree.  So, I've fallen back to cdrecord.  Since I'm mastering this disk on a 
non-SUSE machine, I 
don't have makeSUSEdvd and downloading it led to some dependancy issues.

So, I extracted the "guts" of the script and continued on.

So, here is the script I'm using:

===
export BOOT_IMAGE=/home/mdiehl/newstart/raw/boot/loader

mkisofs -v -V "SNL INSTALLER" -r -J -l -L -b "$BOOT_IMAGE/isolinux.bin" -c 
$BOOT_IMAGE/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -graft-points -iso-level 4 
-pad -allow-leading-dots -o b.iso ./raw
===

I've extracted the original CD into ./raw and I'm expecting to build a file 
called b.iso.  (this is plan B, right?)

When I run this script I get:
===
Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660.
Warning: Creating ISO-9660:1999 (version 2) filesystem.
Warning: ISO-9660 filenames longer than 31 may cause buffer overflows in the OS.

===

So it's complaining that it can't find the ./raw/boot/loader directory!

But *I* can:

Hi all.

I'm re-posting this since I'm still spinning my wheels trying to get it to 
work.

I'm trying to build a custom install CD, but I just can't get the resulting 
disk to boot.  I want to be able to put a disk in a system, boot the system 
and come back to a fully configured machine.

This is what I'm doing:
I'm using k3b to build an image file from the original install media.

Then I'm using kiso to make the changes to the files that I need to make.

After saving the new .iso file, I burn with it with k3b.  

The resulting CD won't boot.

Now, when I burn the iso image without making any changes, that CD will boot.  
But as soon as I make a change, to control.xml for example, the resulting CD 
won't boot.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Mike.

[opensuse] Trying to build a custome boot CD.

Hi all.

I'm trying to build a custom install CD, but I just can't get the resulting 
disk to boot.  I want to be able to put a disk in a system, boot the system 
and come back to a fully configured machine.

This is what I'm doing:
I'm using k3b to build an image file from the original install media.

Then I'm using kiso to extract the files from the image into a directory.  In 
hind sight, I guess I could have simply copied the files, but what can I say?

Then I'm making the changes to the files that I need to make.

I use kiso to package the resulting files into an iso image which I burn with 
k3b.  Before burning, I use kiso to add a boot image to the iso.

The resulting CD won't boot.  I'm getting my isolinux.bin file from 
http://syslinux.zytor.com/iso.php and renaming it to isolinux.img so that 
kiso will recognize it.  I'm sure this is where I'm messed up, so what is the 
RIGHT way to do this?

TIA,

Mike.

Re: [opensuse] Need to create a single-disk installer

Yes, there is.  Our final deployment will be in limited rack space on a 
stand-alone network.  We have the additional need to manage complexity since 
we won't be managing the server(s) directly.

[opensuse] Need to create a single-disk installer

2007-04-03 Thread Mike Diehl
Hi all.

I'm needing to create a single CD/DVD that will automatically install and 
configure a stripped down SLES9 server.  I've got an autoyast control.xml 
file created that works from my pen drive just fine.

But I'd like to see if I can minimize the amount of media swapping involved by 
putting all of the needed .rpm files on one disk.  If I do that, how do I 
tell the installer to not ask for the additional media?

TIA,

[opensuse] Compiling kernel.

2007-03-19 Thread Mike Diehl
Hi all.

I'm a new SLES9 user but I've been using Linux for some time.

I'm trying to upgrade the kernel on a SLES9 server and am having problems.

I've compiled the kernel and copied it to /boot/bzImage.  I've created an 
entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst.

The problem is that no matter what I do, it seems to load the same (factory) 
version of the kernal.

So what is the prescribed method of upgrading the kernel under SLES9?

TIA,
