Re: [Vyatta-users] Installation Problem - booting hangs

2008-02-09 Thread Stefan Leippert
Thanks all for your help.

The HDD is already a IDE-HDD, a 2,5 60GB. Just for fault-searching I tried
also an SATA HDD but without success. But I agreed, the strange hardware
might be the probleme here. 

I will be back on Monday on work to try some more steps to get Vyatta
working. On other hardware / in VM all works ok, but not on the small
Celeron / intel board. 

On Friday I already had a deeper look on GRUB, but so far I didn't find any
problems there. 

Will send more updates on Monday. 

Greetings and have a nice weekend.
Stefan

Betreff: Installation Problem - booting hangs 

Stefan,

I had the same issue  agpgart: Unuspported SiS chipset on an Intel Celeron
420 - SiS 9xx.

I resolved the issue;

 I had to use an IDE HDD for VYATTA.

Also for stability (occasionally had Kernel Panics) had to go through the
BIOS and disable almost everything that used IRQ's. Due to the 'OEM
specific' BIOS version I had, I was unable to set the IRQ's manually.

Com Ports (leave one, otherwise you receive a linux notification every 5
mins)
Soundcard
Onboard LAN - Did not work anyhow
USB
..etc.

I did leave ACPI as it made no difference.

The VYATTA router works fine now!

I believe it has something to do with the SiS 9xx version I had not being
completely supported. I could have recompiled the 'new' SiS linux driver
from the SiS website, but I prefer 'stock' VYATTA Distros (for
troubleshooting)

Hope this helps.


- Brody

[Vyatta-users] Installation Problem - booting hangs

2008-02-07 Thread Stefan Leippert

Hello List,
trying to install Vyatta community edition 3, installation suceeded ok, but 
booting hangs: 

GRUB Loading stage1.5
GRUB loading, please wait.

Then nothing more happens.

I tried following things:
loaded new image and installed from this.
tried different harddisks SATA and PATA.

before install-system, I tried dd /dev/zero /dev/hda count=1, but doesnt't 
help.

Hardware is a small Barebone-PC with SIS964, Intel Celeron 220, 512 MB RAM. 

Found some strange messages in /var/log/messages, when booting again from CD. 

vyatta kernel: copy_e820_map() start ... size 09fc00 end 9fc00 type: 1

Enabling APIC mode: Flat: Using 0 I/O APICs
BIOS bug, no explicit IRQ entries using default mptable

Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 1
Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 2
hdb: _NEC DV-5800, Atapi CD/DVD-ROM
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7, 0x3f6 on irq 14
ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x2367
Registering unionfs 2.0
agpgart: Unuspported SiS chipset (device id: 0662)


Any tips or information ?

One other thing to look into...  Make sure you're not using the RAID
functionality of the SIS964.

 Stefan,
 
 Looks like grub isn't loading stage 1.5.  One thing to check...  In the
 BIOS there may be a setting that switches the disk mode from normal to
 LBA.  It should be set to LBA...
 
 Cheers,
 Robert.
