| djay-il | \sh: kernel crashes with APIC messages and then tries SMP and crashes as well. I've tried to use noapic and nolapic, but to no avail. Maybe I'm using it wrong? | 01:58 |
| \sh | djay-il, the install kernel or the production system kernel? | 01:59 |
| === stephanb_ [n=stephanb@196.44.1.98] has joined #ubuntu-server | ||

| djay-il | \sh: install kernel. I've tried to start with "server" but I get "no such kenel image" message | 02:01 |
| \sh | ah ibm server ;) | 02:03 |
| djay-il | IBM :-) | 02:05 |
| djay-il | yea, quad-cpu | 02:05 |
| \sh | djay-il, did you install 64bit or 32bit? if 64bit, try to install the 32bit version please, just to be sure, that's something with the 64bit kernel | 02:05 |
| djay-il | \sh: 32bit; and I haven't installed it yet. Thats what I'm trying to do | 02:06 |
| djay-il | \sh: so, anything? | 02:19 |
| \sh | djay-il, try the 64bit flavour :) | 02:33 |
| djay-il | can't | 02:34 |
| djay-il | I need specific environment | 02:35 |
| djay-il | can I boot the uniproc kernel, not smp? | 02:35 |

| ekidd | slackwarelife: It's a Samba server with a couple terabytes of external RAID arrays, and it serves as a domain controller. | 07:20 |
| slackwarelife | ekidd: PDC + Ldap :) | 07:20 |
| ekidd | Yeah, not the sort of thing you want to die at 7pm. It was not fun--first the upgrade ate itself, then we had really bad IDE hardware problems while rebuilding it. | 07:21 |
| ekidd | Sometimes Murphy just wants to make it clear who's really in charge, you know? | 07:22 |
| ekidd | But Ubuntu is extremely shiny, so that's one piece of good news. My congrats to everyone involved in the project. | 07:24 |
| slackwarelife | ekidd: Yes, now I don't sleep because I'm not able to connect my Ubuntu clients with Ldap + Samba PDC (my enterprise wants some security things) | 07:24 |

| ph1zzle | different sizes | 10:27 |
| slackwarelife | ph1zzle: you have done all 3 command using ssl-cert-snakeoil like name, right | 10:27 |
| ph1zzle | so far I have only done the first one, and I took out the dirs so I could see what I get and figure out where it goes | 10:28 |
| gregbuntu | i've got an ubuntu install on my netfinity 5500 now. it has raid 5 setup. i get grub error 18 on boot now. i read that it is best to make the OS partition smaller to solve this. does this make sense? | 10:28 |
| ph1zzle | openssl req -nodes -config openssl.cnf -new -x509 -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650 | 10:28 |
| ph1zzle | gregbuntu, does linux support your raid card, is the boot partition on raid, are the modules for your raid card being loaded, is the initramfs on raid etc | 10:29 |
| slackwarelife | ph1zzle: ok this command create cacert.pem file | 10:30 |
| ph1zzle | ok, I just ran the second one as well, lol, I was about to see what that creates | 10:30 |
| gregbuntu | ubuntu does support this raid interface (formatted and copied just fine), my raid array shows up as one logical drive (sda or 0,0,0) and that is where i told installer to create partitions. is there a way to get more verbose output from grub? | 10:32 |
| slackwarelife | ph1zzle: the second create the *key.pem | 10:34 |
| ph1zzle | good question, I would hit the man page / docs on that one but what you just told me sounds reasonable enough to assume it's grub | 10:34 |
| ph1zzle | slackwarelife, I re did it from scratch with the correct names and I got this error on the final one | 10:36 |

| gregbuntu | hmmm... still get grub error 18 with int13 on and adapter cache off | 11:06 |
| ph1zzle | now that it's off do a re install of grub | 11:06 |
| gregbuntu | maybe i'll try reinstall using small partition size | 11:06 |
| gregbuntu | oh, good idea | 11:06 |
| ph1zzle | what is the raid card? | 11:06 |
| slackwarelife | mine: | 11:07 |
| gregbuntu | it is 'ips' module | 11:07 |
| slackwarelife | localityName= Locality Name (eg, city) | 11:07 |
| slackwarelife | localityName_default= Casalpusterlengo | 11:07 |
| gregbuntu | IBM ServeRaid interface | 11:07 |
| ph1zzle | I did apply a commonName_default though and I am still getting an error that it was not specified, I was never asked for it... shoot | 11:08 |
| ph1zzle | I am gonna start over | 11:08 |
| ph1zzle | ok, it worked, lol | 11:10 |
| ph1zzle | slackwarelife, I really do appreciate your help | 11:11 |
| ph1zzle | should I buy you a hooker for the evening or something to say thanks? ;) | 11:11 |
| slackwarelife | ph1zzle: nothing | 11:13 |
| ph1zzle | lol, well thanks anyways, I do appreciate it a lot | 11:13 |
| gregbuntu | grub install raid error 18 | 11:15 |
| gregbuntu | typed google search criteria in wrong window..DOH | 11:15 |
| gregbuntu | ok i re-install grub to /dev/sda (the logical drive that represents my raid)... | 11:17 |
| gregbuntu | still get error 18 | 11:19 |

| gregbuntu | during install, i have option for grub or LVM (or something like that). should I choose LVM for a raid situation? | 11:23 |
| slackwarelife | gregbuntu: Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds max supported by BIOS | 11:23 |
| slackwarelife | gregubuntu: it seems your Bios does not support your cylinder partition start | 11:24 |

| gregbuntu | slackwarelife: this is scsi raid so that should not matter, right? | 11:24 |
| gregbuntu | scsi bios can see everything | 11:25 |
| gregbuntu | slackwarelife: there is a minor bios update however changelog reveals one small change related to win2k, so essentially bios is current | 11:26 |
| gregbuntu | i notice there is --force-lba parameter for grub-install, but this only applies to IDE right? | 11:30 |
| slackwarelife | gregbuntu: ok, I confess I know only the grub error. I post it because I think you can use it to solve your problem. Thanks | 11:31 |
| gregbuntu | slackwarelife: i appreciate your help | 11:32 |
| ph1zzle | gregbuntu, the 18 error is right afaik, there is no such thing as scsi only bios as far as I know, the fact is your getting the error because what grub is talking to as bios is having problems, now you may have an aditional bios on your card but it does not have access to the reserved functions that a computer bios has, now grub is making a int call which is getting picked up probably by your initial bios which then queries the raid card, it d | 11:35 |
| ph1zzle | oes not know it's raid as far as I know and probably assumes it to be a pci style disk controller but the fact is the information it gets back is incompatible with your own bios | 11:35 |
| ph1zzle | and no, you do not want lvm | 11:35 |
| gregbuntu | ph1zzle: thanks. i wonder if grub in confused by ide bios (the cdrom is only ide device). i can try to disable ide in bios i guess... | 11:42 |
| ph1zzle | gregbuntu, there is no such thing as ide/scsi bios | 11:43 |
| ph1zzle | bios is the software that starts your computer before linux is loaded | 11:44 |
| ph1zzle | grub isn't confused in this case, that bios which is programed into a chip that sits on your motherboard has an address space that is reserved for this bios | 11:44 |
| ph1zzle | when any application does a bios interupt call, it gets a response from the bios on your motherboard | 11:45 |
| gregbuntu | ph1zzle: i gather that my system bios just passes off disk i/o functions to the scsi firmware (bios) that controls the scsi bus. is that correct? | 11:47 |
| ph1zzle | gregbuntu, from what I understand, some functions it does and some it doesn't | 11:49 |
| ph1zzle | now it's been a few years since I have learned assembly and wrote programs that make raw interupt calls so I am not a pro on this but I think for disk requirements it will still depend on your mother boards bios which it always should and the manufacturers should know this as well as using standards to configure it | 11:50 |
| gregbuntu | ph1zzle, that makes sense. the strange thing is that this system was fully operational with win2k prior. so any bios limitation should have prevented that also. another thing that puzzles me is that with scsi drives, there is no place in the system bios for drive geometry, so i don't see how the system bios can be a problem here. | 11:55 |
| ph1zzle | I am not saying the bios itself is the problem, It may just be part of whats detecting it or something the OS is doing to call a bios interrupt that is detecting it, honestly I don't know a 100% what the problem is yet but let me re read something, also what kind of card do you have | 11:56 |
| ph1zzle | gregbuntu, read this http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml#doc_chap6_sect1 | 11:58 |
| ph1zzle | what is the size of your hard disk anyways? | 11:58 |
| gregbuntu | ah, i see. there are 6 scsi 18GB each, adapter is IBM ServeRAID 2.80.03 | 12:00 |
| ph1zzle | where is your boot partition on the disk? | 12:01 |
| ph1zzle | or on the raid? | 12:01 |
| ph1zzle | gregbuntu, type df -h /boot and paste the results into rafb.net/paste | 12:02 |
| ph1zzle | df -h /boot | 12:02 |
| gregbuntu | boot partition is on the raid: all disks are part of a raid 5 array that looks like one logical drive /dev/sda | 12:03 |
| ph1zzle | btw, thats only a 108 GB @ 6 x 18, lol | 12:03 |
| ph1zzle | one logical drive? | 12:03 |
| ph1zzle | no partitions for perticular sections? | 12:04 |
| gregbuntu | to clarify, it appears as one big disk (/dev/sda) however there are 3 partitions (sda1, sda2, sda5) and sda1 is first and boot partition | 12:05 |
| ph1zzle | ok, fair enough then | 12:05 |
| ph1zzle | thats what I was wondering | 12:05 |
| gregbuntu | ph1zzle, thanks so much for your help so far. i have an appointment now... i'll try this again tomorrow. | 12:06 |
| ph1zzle | in that case I would suggest throwing an old ide in there as your first disk, copying /boot to it and making it the boot drive to bios, honestly I don't even know where on the raid the /boot is physically but neither does bios | 12:06 |
| ph1zzle | and yeah, no prob, I was about to tell you I am going home ;) | 12:06 |
| ph1zzle | cheers | 12:06 |
| gregbuntu | good idea | 12:06 |
