[Bug 1900773] Re: thunderx CRB systems tftp timeout downloading initrd
Repacking initrd as initrd.lz is a working workaround on d05. By using initrd.lz, I could not reproduce this issue on d05-4. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900773 Title: thunderx CRB systems tftp timeout downloading initrd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1900773/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

My apologies. The comment#9 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /livecd-rootfs/+bug/1900773/comments/9 used the grubnetaa64.efi from focal http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu- ports/dists/focal/main/uefi/grub2-arm64/current/grubnetaa64.efi.signed If d05 (d05-4) uses the groovy grub, it COULD reproduce this issue as well. So I would say the testing result of d05 is the same as d06 by @Ike. - grub from focal ---> not reproduce this issue - grub from groovy --> able to reproduce this issue My next will be: - hide comment#9 to not confuse people - also try the initrd.lzma workaround -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900773 Title: thunderx CRB systems tftp timeout downloading initrd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1900773/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1900773] Re: thunderx CRB systems tftp timeout downloading initrd
Since technically GRUB is requesting the initrd file, I tried to rule it out as a possible cause by seeing if the initial payload that UEFI downloads directly would time out if it was the same size. I did this by padding my grubnetaa64.efi binary to be the same size as the installer initrd. mv grubnetaa64.efi grubnetaa64.efi.orig cp casper/initrd grubnetaa64.efi dd if=grubnetaa64.efi.orig of=grubnetaa64 conv=notrunc This did *not* timeout. So unfortunately we can't obviously rule out GRUB as a factor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900773 Title: thunderx CRB systems tftp timeout downloading initrd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/1900773/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
