| Mip5 | hi - running edubuntu 8.04.1 and having my client hang on boot up | 21:29 |
| sbalneav | Where's it hanging? | 21:30 |
| Mip5 | Before the login screen | 21:30 |
| Mip5 | I see an item in my syslog about tftp client not accepting options | 21:31 |
| sbalneav | So, does the graphical kernel boot screen come up? It's just when it switches to the login screen it juet goes black? | 21:31 |
| Mip5 | I have changed the pxe default so that it's not quiet, and nosplash | 21:32 |
| sbalneav | So, does the kernel actually load and boot? | 21:33 |
| Mip5 | I don't think so - it just hangs, and when I try to ctrl-alt F2, etc I just get a blinking cursor in teh upper left hand - no login prompt | 21:34 |
| Mip5 | If you can tell me how to get to the logs of the my client, I can post them | 21:36 |
| Mip5 | Would they be available in the chrooted environment? | 21:36 |
| Mip5 | As you can tell - I'm pretty new to ltsp stuff - though I've been using linux for a few years | 21:37 |
| sbalneav | When you turn on the terminal, does the kernel come down, and do you see the kernel messages? | 21:39 |
| sbalneav | I'm still not clear on this point. | 21:39 |
| Mip5 | Sorry - yes, I believe that the kernel begins to come down. | 21:40 |
| Mip5 | I get an address, it then runs through the pxe configs, and begins to load, and then it hangs | 21:40 |
| Mip5 | There are numbers on the left of the screen as it scrolls, and it gets to about 18.xxx and hangs | 21:41 |
| sbalneav | What's the last thing it prints out? | 21:41 |
| Mip5 | It's across the hall - I'll go and write it down (unless there's another way for me to get it - ) | 21:41 |
| sbalneav | If the kernel's not booting, then no, there's no other way to get it. | 21:42 |
| Mip5 | okay thanks - Here's what I see | 21:45 |
| Mip5_ | Here's what I see as the client boots: [ 18.649040] /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver | 21:49 |
| sbalneav | that's where it hangs? | 21:49 |
| sbalneav | Then the kernel doesn't like something with your usb port | 21:49 |
| sbalneav | You using any USB devices? | 21:49 |
| Mip5_ | okay - but it also hangs (sooner) when the usb mouse is not connected | 21:50 |
| Mip5_ | USB mouse is the only usb device | 21:50 |
| Mip5_ | shere | 21:50 |
| Mip5_ | here's what I get when the usb mouse is not connected: | 21:50 |
| sbalneav | Disconnet the usb mouse, and disable the usb port in bios. | 21:50 |
| Mip5_ | [ 18.120205] eth0: link down | 21:50 |
| Mip5_ | This error seems strange to since the link us up and working fine during the preceding part of the boot process | 21:52 |
| sbalneav | Try disabling the usb port: it and the ethernet device might be on the same interrupt | 21:53 |
| sbalneav | Could be an ACPI issuce. Might need something like acpi=force or noacpi on the pxe command line. | 21:54 |
| Mip5_ | okay - I'l try that. FWIW, disabling USB didn't have any effect on the eth0 link down issue | 21:55 |
| sbalneav | Did you disable it in the bios before, or just umplug the mouse? | 21:56 |
| Mip5 | I disabled it in the BIOS (I had previously unplugged the mouse) | 21:57 |
| Mip5 | Anyway - the idea of acpi=force did the trick | 21:58 |
| Mip5 | It booted all the way, got the login prompt and was able to login. | 21:58 |
| Mip5 | I'd like to try it with the usb mouse | 21:58 |
| Mip5 | thanks for your help - this is great! | 21:59 |
| sbalneav | Betcha it works. Lots of times ACPI issues cause problems. | 21:59 |
| sbalneav | What kind of mobo's are in the thin clients. They're not Via EPIA 1ghz's are they? | 21:59 |
| sbalneav | EPIA-LN | 21:59 |
| Mip5_ | It's an nvidia m2npv-vm | 22:06 |
| sbalneav | Not familiar with that. Anyway, nice to know it's working now. | 22:07 |
| Mip5_ | and I think the chipset is 6150 | 22:07 |
| Mip5_ | Yeah - it's great. | 22:07 |
| sbalneav | Okiedoke, I'm heading home in a few minutes, be on again thisevening. | 22:08 |
| sbalneav | good luck | 22:08 |
| Mip5_ | Do you think I have to take extra steps to get nvidia drivers installed? Are these restricted? | 22:08 |
| Mip5_ | Cool - thanks again for your help | 22:08 |
| sbalneav | Dunno, I've never used the nVidia drives. | 22:08 |
| sbalneav | Another place to check would be #ltsp | 22:08 |
| sbalneav | the LTSP developers hang out in there (I'm one), you may find more people who may help. | 22:09 |
| Mip5_ | okay - thanks | 22:09 |
| sbalneav | #ltsp and #edubuntu have a lot of the same people in them, but #ltsp's usually more actively watched :) | 22:09 |
| Mip5_ | You know, I wonderd about that. I'll tune in there. | 22:10 |
| Mip5_ | Thanks again! | 22:10 |
| thismamacooks200 | I'm trying to transfer my home directoy to an external (windows) drive so I can install linux on my a bigger internal hard drive | 22:52 |
