Loading miniroot.bz2....ready and nothing more via VM
Loading miniroot.bz2....ready and nothing more via VM
Hello Dears,
I am burning my brain more than 3 weeks running OPSI server VM and making some tests trying to install an OS via network (PXE) in another VM.
The problem is everything looks ok, but when the VM tests start "loading miniroot.bz2...(a lot of dots)...ready." nothing more happens.
The reason to make some tests with OPSI is that I am writing my monograph about Desktop Management for Small Companies, considering TCO, ROI, etc.
Any suggestion will be very helpful.
Let me know if you need any other detail.
Thanks in advance,
Fernando Souza.
SP-Brazil.

Re: Loading miniroot.bz2....ready and nothing more via VM
Hi Bardo!
Thanks for the quick reply!
Actually the VM client is configured for 512MB of RAM, and the file install in "/tftpboot/linux/pxelinux.cfg" has this configuration:
append noapic lang=de ramdisk_size=254000 init=/etc/init initrd=miniroot.bz2 reboot=b irqpoll video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=791 quiet splash service
Again, Loading miniroot.bz2....ready. and nothing more.....
The default has a symbolic link to default.nommenu, but if I change to default.menu, the screen crashes (it looks like Conectiva, when we needed to configure the screen driver, resolution, monitor, otherwise it crashes).
Another netboot product that I can not run is the "hwinvent"... the same "loading....ready" problem...
The memtest86 works perfect when I use the command via OPSI config editor and set "setup".
Let me know if you need any other detail.
Regards,
Fernando.

Re: Loading miniroot.bz2....ready and nothing more via VM
Please try the following change in /tftpboot/linux/pxelinux.cfg/install:
Remove "quiet splash" from append line.
Then try again.
Remove "quiet splash" from append line.
Then try again.

Hi everybody!
No way... the same problem. The only good point is when I try "hwinvent", it goes on "....ready ." but stops at "Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)..."
Thanks again!
Fernando.

Re: Loading miniroot.bz2....ready and nothing more via VM
Hi Fernando,
try to remove some more options from append line.
Possibly removal of options irqpoll and noapic will take effect.

Re: Loading miniroot.bz2....ready and nothing more via VM
Hi Jan!
Thanks for the tip! Probably it is related to these options. But I've tried a lot of combinations and it is not working... it stops at "Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)...OK" and no more than that. I am testing the "hwinvent" and "winxppro".
Any idea will be very helpful.
