However, like I said, the 4.8 CD works correctly. It's rather strange. what kind of hard drive do you have ? SATA or IDE/PATA ? PATA. The system has both interfaces, but from the factory it includes a PATA drive. I remember had to deal with ATA/SATA/AHCI BIOS settings, in order to choose the way the IDE/SATA controller had to be announced by the BIOS. Which settings the BIOS offers you related to it ? Very few: Parallel ATA: Primary/Disabled Serial ATA: Enabled/Disabled Native Mode Operation: Automatic/Serial ATA Can you try the different settings around it ? With a Parallel ATA drive: Parallel ATA: Primary; Serial ATA: Enabled; Native Mode Operation: Automatic = FAIL Parallel ATA: Primary; Serial ATA: Enabled; Native Mode Operation: Serial ATA = FAIL Parallel ATA: Primary; Serial ATA: Disabled; (Native Mode Operation disappears) = FAIL For the fun of it, I decided to replace the PATA drive with a SATA drive in the system to see what happens. I still can't disable the Parallel ATA: my CD-ROM is attached there. With a Serial ATA drive, there are fewer options: Parallel ATA: Primary; Serial ATA: Enabled; Native Mode Operation: Automatic = FAIL Parallel ATA: Primary; Serial ATA: Enabled; Native Mode Operation: Serial ATA = SUCCESS So, it seems that there is a problem with whatever module is being used for talking to hard drives via Parallel ATA (even with SATA, when it's emulating a parallel ATA), but not (and only not) with native SATA hard drives. I wonder why it didn't choke when still dealing with the PATA CD-ROM? Affordably replacing the drives on several dozen old (but still needed) machines is not practical, so switching to SATA-only on these machines is not really a solution. I will have to find a better solution. So, I started experimenting with IDE/ATA modules. First, I modified linuxboot/state1/etc/master and added a read PAUSE right after the line that contains *** Excellent. Now, let's see about mass storage controllers I could then load whatever modules I wanted by hand. I then rebuilt and burned the CD. Once I did this, it paused before the storage modules were loaded. I left it paused and switched to console 2. I then did modprobe ide-generic probe_mask=0x1f. My PATA hard drive and CD-ROM were recognized! Yay! I then retured to console 1 and pressed ENTER to continue with the master script. However, it continued to load the rest of the storage modules and crashed once again on piix. (Much debugging effort here snipped, but note that ata_piix also crashes in the same way.) So, I then rebooted and before pressing ENTER (on my pause before loading storage modules) I switched to console 2 and deleted /lib/modules/ ... /ata/ata_piix.ko and /lib/modules/ ... /ide/piix.ko. I then did a manual modprobe ide-generic probe_mask=0x1f and returned to console 1 and pressed ENTER to continue the master script. Success. I was able to continue all the way through the nt5x script and into the first reboot (the text-mode Windows kernel-based installer). I didn't wait for that to finish, but I'm reasonably confident that this will work properly. So, it seems that this system is having a problem with ata_piix.ko and piix.ko. I don't know if this is just an Unattended boot CD thing or a generic kernel thing. I am downloading some recent Linux live CD's (Ubuntu 11.04 and Fedora 15 beta) to see if they will work properly, and with what storage modules. For now, it seems I have two workarounds: 1) Use the Unattended 4.8 boot CD. 2) Modify my compiled Unattended CD to delete the piix.ko and ata_piix.ko and get it to load the ide-generic with the proper probe_mask parameter (without the parameter it doesn't work). Any suggestions on how best to do that within the Unattended linuxboot build process? I can hack things terribly (I'd probably just throw the commands that I'm typing by hand into the master script right where I put the pause), but is there a better, cleaner way to do this? Timothy J.

A few hours ago I upload 2.6.38.5 here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/unattended/files/unattended/49rc5/ No joy: same failure. So I get the same failure with kernels compiled by both you and I, and with various different kernel versions from 2.6.35 to 2.6.38. Also for the record: Ubuntu 11.04 (Kernel 2.6.38.8) loads just fine on this system. Doing a dmesg | grep ata tells me that this is using libata version 3.0 and ata_piix version 2.13, same as all of the Unattended kernels I've tried. Fedora 15 Beta also boots correctly: kernel 2.6.38.2-9, libata 3.0 and ata_piix 2.13. So this does not seem to be a generic kernel bug. Ubuntu and Fedora kernels work fine with libata and ata_piix. It has something to do with the way the Unattended kernel is doing it. To continue moving forward, I have hacked linuxboot/misc/master to delete ata_piix.ko and piix.ko, and manually modprobe ide-generic probe_mask=0x1f (at the same point where I previously put in the pause). This works properly on this machine. Now to test it on other machines. The first machine I tested it on was an IBM 8215. Guess what? Same kernel oops, but *different* module! This time it's the Intel Ethernet driver (e1000) that crashes. So, this doesn't even seem to be related to IDE: I haven't *got* to the point of loading storage modules! As a sanity check, I booted the new Unattended 4.9rc5 disc on this machine (the 8215): same Oops. Here's what I get from dmesg (unmodified Unattended 4.9rc5): e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 1.2.20-k2 e1000e: Copyright(c) 1999 - 2011 Intel Corporation. e1000e :02:00.0: Disabling ASPM L1 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 9000 IP: [c0113136] ioapic_write_entry+0x3e/0x80 *pde = 003b2067 *pte = Oops: 0002 [#1] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1c.0/:02:00.0/class Modules linked in: e1000e(+) usbhid ehci_hcd uhci_hcd usbcore So, it's not just the kernel compiled by me, but yours too. I am now officially out of ideas. There is something fundamentally wrong with the current family of Unattended kernels that is not solely related to mainline kernels (Fedora and Ubuntu kernels work fine with very similar versions) that is preventing these machines from booting. Any other ideas of where we can look and what we can try? I don't think this is going to be fixed by simply choosing different kernel versions. There's something about the way the kernels are being built or maybe the order of modules loaded that is killing these machines. I'm open to suggestions... Timothy J.

Use same kernel options as it was on 4.8 svn up -r2985 linuxboot/misc/linux-config then make and accept all the default values. Maybe I made a mistake on the kernel options. OK. Seeing as things were a pretty big mess, here's what I did: (From trunk directory:) rm -rf linuxboot/* svn up linuxboot mv linuxboot/misc/linux-config linuxboot/misc/linux-config.49rc5 svn up -r2985 linuxboot/misc/linux-config make download Most packages were already downloaded, but it seems that a few, including the kernel, were updated with new versions. Finally, I used my modified compile line as per my previous e-mails to complete compile: CFLAGS=-march=i686 make -j 4 CC=gcc44 iso The build made it to the linux package make oldconfig section and prompted me *lots* of times. I pressed ENTER for each of them and the compile continued. Resulting .config attached. [NOTE: Not attached. With it attached, the message is too big to make it to the list. Ask if you want it.] The kernel built successfully. I performed my other magic necessary to compile the entire ISO successfully, as covered in other e-mails (compile DOSEMU with different compiler and add a line to the Makefile of pciutils) and eventually got a completed linuxboot.iso. The results I achieved were different, however. I'm testing this from home, so I don't have access to the Unattended server. When the CD prompts to override the network defaults, I press Y and switch to console 2 to load the modules manually. Using the precompiled Unattended 4.9rc5 CD on an 8183, I can type modprobe libata; modprobe ata_piix and I get the oops. Using the freshly compiled one from above, it does not! However, simply booting the freshly compiled CD on one of the other machines creates an oops, and before the kernel is done loading, so the important part scrolls right off the screen and I can't switch consoles... I think what I'm going to do next is start with the same kernel as a 4.8 CD (2.6.29.1) and modify the linuxboot Makefile to download and compile it, and use the config-linux from 4.8 as well. I will then see if that creates a 100% functional CD. This is really weird. Like I said, I can boot plenty of other Linux systems on all of this hardware 100% correctly.
