| fabbione | lamont-away: how do i netboot ia64? | 05:50 |
|---|---|---|
| fabbione | if possible at all | 05:50 |
| lamont-away | trivial, I'm told | 05:51 |
| fabbione | hmm ok.. | 05:51 |
| lamont-away | not that I've ever done it, mind you... | 05:51 |
| fabbione | ehehe | 05:51 |
| fabbione | how do i break into the EFI stuff? | 05:51 |
| === lamont-away digs | ||
| lamont-away | arrow keys | 05:51 |
| fabbione | the only thing i saw at boot is "press space to continue" | 05:51 |
| fabbione | ok | 05:51 |
| lamont-away | after hitting space | 05:52 |
| lamont-away | it gives you a boot menu prompt - one of the things on that machine currently is 'ubuntu' | 05:52 |
| lamont-away | etc, | 05:52 |
| lamont-away | at that point, you start using arrow keys, and you become the controlling manager of your destiny | 05:52 |
| fabbione | cranky | 05:53 |
| fabbione | it doesn | 05:53 |
| lamont-away | host foo.baz.com { filename "/elilo.efi";hardware ethernet ??:??:??...; fixed-address foo.baz.com; } | 05:53 |
| lamont-away | in dhcpd.conf | 05:53 |
| fabbione | it doesn't sense space or arrows from the serial | 05:53 |
| lamont-away | elilo.efi: MS Windows PE executable | 05:53 |
| lamont-away | in /tftpboot | 05:54 |
| lamont-away | sure it does - they generate escape sequences.. | 05:54 |
| lamont-away | or something like that. | 05:54 |
| fabbione | it didn't | 05:54 |
| lamont-away | it's not some lightweight dumb serial interface, oh no. iz smart. | 05:54 |
| lamont-away | hrm... | 05:55 |
| fabbione | it scans for USB keyboars | 05:55 |
| fabbione | rants that there are none | 05:55 |
| lamont-away | yeah - give it one. | 05:55 |
| fabbione | ok | 05:55 |
| fabbione | so i use the USB keybord and serial output | 05:55 |
| lamont-away | I'd reboot my zx2000, but it's busy trying to freshen its mirror... | 05:55 |
| fabbione | fancy! | 05:55 |
| fabbione | no problem | 05:56 |
| fabbione | don't worry | 05:56 |
| lamont-away | oh, it's better than that - just wait.. :0) | 05:56 |
| fabbione | ahahhaha | 05:56 |
| === fabbione goes and fetches a keyboard from the closet | ||
| lamont-away | checking for XT... configure: error: Package requirements (sm x11 xproto kbproto) were not met: | 05:56 |
| === lamont-away grumbles at xorg | ||
| fabbione | ok | 05:59 |
| fabbione | keyboard plugged | 05:59 |
| fabbione | machine rebootinh | 05:59 |
| fabbione | minicom sucks | 06:06 |
| fabbione | it didn't sense the serial | 06:06 |
| === fabbione needs a name for the machien | ||
| === ealden [n=ealden@219.90.94.33] has joined #ubuntu-ports | ||
| fabbione | lamont-away: yeps.. it | 06:19 |
| fabbione | lamont-away: yeps.. it's working.. or at least it looks like :) | 06:19 |
| lamont-away | cool | 06:20 |
| lamont-away | hey - does this mean you got things rearranged before your deadline? | 06:21 |
| fabbione | oh yeah | 06:21 |
| fabbione | i finished to rearrange yesterday | 06:21 |
| lamont-away | the fact that you're alive and all that, eh? | 06:21 |
| fabbione | i still have stuff without power :) | 06:21 |
| lamont-away | ew | 06:21 |
| fabbione | i did run out of power and net cords | 06:21 |
| fabbione | http://www.fabbione.net/new_office.jpg | 06:21 |
| fabbione | it's a big image | 06:22 |
| === lamont-away needs to have a cable-making fest one of these days, and finish hooking up the patch panel | ||
| fabbione | it clearly shows that i need a rack :) | 06:22 |
| fabbione | btw.. nfs on hppa is no go | 06:25 |
| lamont-away | but that's a wonderful table the J5K makes, eh? | 06:25 |
| fabbione | oh yeah | 06:25 |
| fabbione | there was an amazing stain of coffee on it :) | 06:25 |
| fabbione | original american HP coffee :) | 06:25 |
| lamont-away | what's next to the sparc? | 06:25 |
| lamont-away | yep. coffee goes places... like .dk | 06:25 |
| fabbione | it's the old 441 | 06:25 |
| lamont-away | ah, ok | 06:26 |
| fabbione | just a normal p4 | 06:26 |
| fabbione | nothing fancy | 06:26 |
| fabbione | the sparc is there only to balance the table :) | 06:26 |
| fabbione | it's the broken one ;) | 06:26 |
| lamont-away | lol | 06:26 |
| fabbione | the working one is right below the cisco switch | 06:26 |
| fabbione | you can barely see it in the pic | 06:26 |
| fabbione | the dell on the bottom is my server | 06:26 |
| fabbione | and the little thing on top of the ia64 is a thin client | 06:26 |
| fabbione | got it at UBZ from the LTSP guys | 06:27 |
| fabbione | i still have 3 monitors not in use from the 441 | 06:27 |
| === lamont-away watches a hoary->breezy+security upgrade on a slow box | ||
| fabbione | i was plannning to hook them up on the hppa and ia64 | 06:28 |
| fabbione | but i did run out of space | 06:28 |
| fabbione | + the other details like power cords :) | 06:28 |
| lamont-away | sounds like you need to kick your wife out or something, to make room, huh? | 06:28 |
| fabbione | notice the cartoon boxes on the side? | 06:28 |
| fabbione | the entire wall is full of them | 06:28 |
| lamont-away | is that what those are | 06:29 |
| fabbione | we still need to unpack them since we did move in the house | 06:29 |
| fabbione | nah there is all sort of junk in them | 06:29 |
| fabbione | but we don't have space in other rooms where to store them atm | 06:29 |
| fabbione | so the plan is to finish the house, unpack them | 06:30 |
| fabbione | rearrange the office in a more usable and nice way :) | 06:31 |
| === lamont-away needs to decide on a good file-sharing mechanism for a bunch of breezy-based machines | ||
| === fabbione boots into stage2 | ||
| fabbione | MEHHH | 06:35 |
| lamont-away | monday I need to go get some PC2700 ram instead of the PC133 sticks I got earlier. sigh. | 06:35 |
| fabbione | it didn't go very well | 06:36 |
| fabbione | FATAL: Error inserting sym53c8xxscsi_mod: value -6917529019003397936 out of IMMe | 06:36 |
| fabbione | it did install the -mkinley kernel | 06:36 |
| fabbione | either the initrd is missing a module.. | 06:39 |
| fabbione | or the kernel sucks | 06:39 |
| lamont-away | 2.6.15? | 06:42 |
| lamont-away | when I did the install before I shipped it, I just used a breezy CD | 06:42 |
| fabbione | i am doing breezy net install | 06:43 |
| fabbione | probably it did install just the standard -itanium kernel | 06:43 |
| fabbione | i can do that easily | 06:43 |
| fabbione | yup | 06:59 |
| fabbione | it's either a broken initrd or the mckinley kernel is totally broken | 06:59 |
| fabbione | i will have to dig into it | 07:00 |
| === fabbione reboots into 2.6.15 | ||
| fabbione | Linux golion 2.6.15-8-itanium-smp #1 SMP Tue Dec 13 05:44:26 UTC 2005 ia64 GNU/Linux | 07:10 |
| fabbione | i would say it works :) | 07:10 |
| lamont-away | fabbione: SCORE | 07:20 |
| lamont-away | it may also just be elilo not auto-running on kernel install - although I haven't seen that, iirc | 07:20 |
| === lamont-away heads to bed. | ||
| fabbione | lamont-away: no, it | 07:21 |
| fabbione | lamont-away: no, it's either the initrd missing a module or the kernel | 07:21 |
| fabbione | elilo did run fine | 07:21 |
| fabbione | good night | 07:21 |
| lamont-away | thanks | 07:22 |
