I'm getting real problems installing server 6.06.1 on an Intel server. Firstly I had the dreaded "mp-bios bug 8254 timer not connected to io-apic" error. I got rid of that by adding "noapic no lapic" to the boot params, however, it's just hanging the same minus the error now. Any ideas? [12:49] *nolapic not no lapic [12:59] mmconf=off [12:59] or... [12:59] pci=nommconf [01:00] right, pci=nommconf [01:06] pci=nommconf? [01:06] never heard that one [01:08] hehe [01:09] try it, without nolapic and noapic [01:09] tried both [01:09] nommconf hangs too :( [01:09] hm [01:09] this is insane. I just *cannot* get it to boot with Ubuntu [01:09] what MB is that? [01:10] It's an old intel SMP mainboard [01:10] chipset? [01:10] i'm trying to find out how to determin the model [01:11] i wish i knew. You think trying to boot the desktop version may work, then get chipset from that? [01:11] did you tri nocpi (this would disable SMP, but worth a try) [01:11] s/tri/try [01:11] noacpi [01:12] on it's own? [01:12] yes [01:12] will try now [01:12] I read that older SMP boards have a nsty bug in them [01:13] noacpi on it's own doesn't work either [01:14] try disabling ioapic in bios [01:15] it's not an option in the bios :( [01:15] recovery mode shoots through! [01:16] phone [01:16] Hangs on : "Begin: Witing for root file system...." [01:19] that's ok :) [01:20] but it booted, right? [01:20] then, try booting regular kernel, and just remove quiest and splash [01:23] it should stop on the same place as 'rescue' mode [01:24] and that would means that everything is OK with acpi/apic/mmconf, problem is root device :) [01:24] s/means/mean [01:25] will try! :D [01:26] in grub, root points to what device? root=? [01:27] on the install cd? [01:27] is this install CD or you allready installed? [01:28] you are entirely right pal! thanks! [01:28] install cd [01:28] oh... :/ [01:28] i think the raid is broken [01:28] root on install CD is RAM === EtienneG [n=etienne@ubuntu/member/EtienneG] has joined #ubuntu-server [01:28] yeah, it's the harddisks [01:29] hey man, thanks for your time [01:29] np [01:30] i'm not sure problem is with disks [01:30] if installer doesn't boot at all [01:31] it hangs on waiting for root filesystem [01:31] ... [01:32] right... that's not good [01:32] you have 6.06.1 server iso? [01:32] yeah [01:32] and you've burned it on CDROM like an iso, right? [01:32] yeah, i works for other hardware [01:33] hm [01:33] and you have quiet splash in grub, as an options? [01:33] hey! [01:33] you have grub?! [01:34] or is it isolinux? [01:34] (just making sure you aren't booting from disks :) [01:36] yeah [01:36] grub [01:37] grub is not boot loader on install CD [01:37] no no :) disks are formatted :D [01:37] um.................. [01:37] o.O [01:37] hang on, I'm going mad... yeah, it's booting off HD [01:37] sorry! [01:37] when you boot, do you get ubuntu logo? [01:37] :) [01:37] lol [01:37] I'm going mad [01:38] yeah, it's installed on HD, reboot then hangs on waiting for root FS [01:38] so it's the disks right? [01:38] ok, then we will fix it [01:38] what does root= says? (in grub) [01:39] ok, will reboot. These mainboards take ages to reboot [01:39] it's /dev/cp/rd00010 or something [01:39] um..? :) [01:39] thing is, the raid bios magically made a raid 1 from 3 disks o.O [01:40] 3x34 gig disks and it gives 50G raid 1 [01:40] sounds dodgy to me [01:40] (nearly there) [01:40] here we go: [01:41] root=/dev/rd/c0d0p1 [01:41] rd? [01:41] however, there is a "ro" option o.O [01:41] hm... [01:41] that's ok [01:41] it's a mylex raid [01:42] did you install special modules for it? [01:42] shall i take one disk out, get a standard raid 1, format from bios then reinstall? [01:42] no [01:42] just let it boot... [01:42] when it stops, wait... [01:42] it will eventualy give up and give you a shell [01:42] yes ok [01:42] booting now [01:43] btw, whilst it's booting, I have some other servers with a 3rd party module. How can i insert that at install time on 6.06? [01:43] in feisty they have the new "3rd party driver" option, buit not 6.06 [01:43] :) [01:43] alt+f2 [01:44] insmod then? [01:44] welll [01:44] cp it to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/ [01:44] depmod [01:44] modprobe it [01:44] that way it will end up in initrd [01:44] alt-f2 at which point? === PanzerMKZ [i=Panzer@05-060.136.popsite.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [01:44] language select? [01:45] after it downloads additional commponents from CD [01:45] when it says that it can't find disks [01:45] ah ok, then [01:45] and redo that bit? [01:45] no [01:46] yes :) [01:46] so... yes is my finall answer :) [01:46] did you change partition table with ubuntu installer while installing on this server? [01:47] if yes, there is some strange thing with mylex [01:47] You have to reboot after altering the partition table, if you have any partitions on that drive mounted. [01:47] http://linuxmafia.com/faq/VALinux-kb/hardware-raid-partitioning.html [01:48] they weren't mounted, unless the installer does? [01:48] it's booted [01:49] ok, so you've got the shell? [01:49] go in /etc/rd [01:49] and checkout what you have there [01:50] will do [01:50] rd? [01:50] rd.0 ? [01:50] rd.3? [01:50] omg [01:50] there isn't even init.d [01:50] ah, we're not on the root partition [01:51] sorry, by bad [01:51] my bad [01:51] ok [01:51] /dev/rd [01:51] i see the issue [01:51] yeah, the partition doesn't exist [01:51] omg /dev/rd doesn't exist! [01:51] beh... [01:52] mylex driver not installed? [01:52] yet it installs... [01:52] what's the name of that module/driver? [01:53] not sure.. let me see [01:54] dac960 [01:54] yeah it is [01:55] accelaraid 352 [01:57] i don't know the name of the module [01:57] :/ [01:58] I'm sure DAC960 messages come up [01:59] yeah, i know, but we need to find out name of the driver [02:00] ah... [02:00] found it [02:00] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=355912 [02:00] try modprobe DAC960 [02:01] module not found [02:01] hehe nice :) [02:01] go to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/block [02:01] is there anything? [02:02] there should be DAC960.ko [02:02] if not, we can fix this (but that includes reinstall) [02:02] no [02:02] there are 2 mods in that dir: [02:02] or... you can do this... [02:02] cciss cpqarray [02:02] boot installation [02:03] i got the install cd in drive now [02:03] and go with it all the way till partitioning [02:03] ok [02:03] when it comes to partitioning - stop [02:04] ok [02:04] do you think that 3disk raid 1 is bad? [02:04] because i may as well sort that out first [02:04] then you'll have to resintall it :) [02:04] but, if you want something else, do it [02:05] i will reinstall [02:06] ok, what do i do when i get to partitioning? === fernando [n=fernando@unaffiliated/musb] has joined #ubuntu-server [02:09] continue with partitioning :) [02:09] since you are doing reinstall :) [02:09] if i disapear in the meantime, check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2754170#post2754170 [02:11] hay, thanks for your time [02:11] i'm just ensuring that the raid configuration is totally correct before i continue [02:12] bug in installer? [02:12] well, it can be called as a bug :) [02:12] one more thing... if you have /boot on separate partition, *mount* it too, before doing chroot === fabbione [i=fabbione@gordian.fabbione.net] has joined #ubuntu-server [02:13] sure [02:13] thanks man, you're a life saver [02:14] np [02:14] with next kernel update, you shouldn't expirience any problems, since initrd would include DAC960 [02:15] doesn't updates d/l new initrds? [02:15] no, it generates it [02:15] with update-initrd -u [02:16] this way every machine can have its own initrd [02:16] right ok [02:16] I was just thinking about the other servers i have to do with the custom module [02:17] i thought kernel upgrades would kill the module because of kernel module magic number [02:17] if new kernel doesn't have module you need, then you'll have to build it for it [02:18] yeah, on suse it used to do kernel updates like normal package updates [02:19] really annoying - am glad ubuntu server holds kernel updates back [02:20] should i report this bug?

Last time I read it was at UDS in Paris, so it's been a while. AFAIR it's just tasks. No configuration or anything like that. [05:34] :) [05:34] ivoks: I'm somewhat doubtful of the usefulnes, actually, but people seem to like it. [05:34] ok [05:35] i'm planing to offer a product, based on ubuntu, light server without fancy stuff [05:35] It basically just boils down to a set of packages that someone has said are good to perform certain tasks. In order to actually get them to do said tasks, you have to configure them yourself. [05:35] so, whatever comes out of it, i would be more than happy to bring ti back into ubuntu [05:35] for me I am new to linux and I picked up ubuntu server first. [05:36] Panzer_: Yes? Did you find the DNS or LAMP server tasks useful? [05:36] we have dns stuff? :)) [05:36] Those are the two tasks we have now. [05:36] bind9 ftw. [05:36] i didn't install non-dapper server yet :) [05:37] Dapper had the LAMP install option on the boot screnn, right?

[05:41] and that's a very good thing [05:41] oh yea [05:41] I'm working on a project to make at least file/print services more accessible. [05:41] shawarma: trough another client? [05:41] (Think web interfaces) [05:41] well for me once someone showed me what was going on it was easy [05:42] it would be great to have a client-server app [05:42] ivoks: Ah, no, I meant configuration of them. [05:42] i see [05:42] well, that's what i'm talking about, client GUI app to conect to server [05:42] just for configuration [05:43] web based is also great... i just prefere gui app out of the server :) [05:43] ivoks: Oh, we're not going to be putting x libraries or gtk or anything on servers. [05:43] ivoks: But we want it to be shiny, easy and simple. Hence: web. [05:44] server:port -> client:app [05:44] so, another ubuntu/windows mashine fires up gui app which configures services on server [05:44] ivoks: That would be an option, too. [05:44] no X stuff on server [05:45] ivoks: The major problem is that we'd have to support all sorts of different clients. Not just Ubuntu ones. [05:45] right [05:45] ivoks: And *everyone* can do web.

[09:05] is multiline paste fine? === kronus hopes so [09:06] [ 33.345935] e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0x82100000, irq 9, MAC addr 00:90:27:AA:AE:7F [09:06] [ 247.028228] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [09:06] [ 247.038096] e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex [09:06] [ 247.058060] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready [09:06] [ 257.426224] eth0: no IPv6 routers present [09:07] huh [09:07] card is a no-name [09:07] it works fine, if i connect a keyboard and run sudo dhclient eth0 [09:07] interesting [09:07] i just want it to do that when it starts up [09:07] since it's going to be a headless box [09:07] as a short term fix you could put that in rc.local [09:08] the one in /etc or in /etc/init.d [09:08] but that's not the right answer for you, I just don't know the right answer === Mussi [n=bah@unaffiliated/mussi] has joined #ubuntu-server [09:09] well, thanks anyway [09:09] etc [09:09] i'll try that [09:09] etc/init.d/rc.local is for things that get restarted (odd services or whatever) [09:10] I take that back [09:10] rc.local gets run at root, right? [09:10] as* [09:10] seems to have worked [09:10] etc/init.d/rc.local processes etc/rc.local [09:10] yes [09:11] thanks very much :D [09:11] again, not the right answer, you will want to continue looking for the right way to do it [09:11] it's probably an /etc/network/interfaces issue [09:11] this file looks a lot more fleshed out than mine : http://david.decotigny.free.fr/libre/ibook2-debian/etc/network/interfaces === h4wk0 [n=h4wk@84.13.242.164] has joined #ubuntu-server [09:12] heh, a bit === sahafeez [n=sahafeez@67.109.14.227.ptr.us.xo.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === tru_`z24 [n=truz_`24@74-129-166-232.dhcp.insightbb.com] has joined #ubuntu-server === asw [n=asw@karuna.med.harvard.edu] has joined #ubuntu-server === ivoks [n=ivoks@39-29.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-server === slackwarelife [n=slackwar@host57-116-dynamic.56-82-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has joined #ubuntu-server === YourMomsHero [n=cirish@phx1.redefining-it.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === nictuku [n=yves@200.96.166.183] has joined #ubuntu-server === spc [n=thierry@anna.titoon.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === turox__ [n=chatzill@dslb-084-056-213-246.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === infinity2 [n=adconrad@cerberus.0c3.net] has joined #ubuntu-server === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-server === r00tintheb0x [n=r00tinth@198.170.183.130] has joined #ubuntu-server === fujin [n=aj@123.100.64.22] has joined #ubuntu-server
