Black screen after miniroot.bz2 load [Solved]

[Brandt]

Hi

I'm currently trying to implement opsi in our company.
It has been smooth so far until this week.
All tested clients have worked flawlessly until now.
We use mostly dell vostro that have i5 cpu, some asus and some hp. Laptops and desktops everything have worked perfectly.

But now I started two dell vostro 470 with i7 cpu 8gb memory and it stops with black screen after miniroot.bz2 have finished loading. Does not continue or reboot left it over night and had same black screen.
I have so far tried with removing cardreaders, replace videocard to one that was used in a working computer, upgraded bios to latest and tried diffrent hdds.
Also tried to disable features for the cpu in bios but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

have a look over here:
http://download.uib.de/opsi_stable/doc/ ... etrization

Try the different parameters. The parameter vga=normal may help to see any error messages.

Please edit file

Code: Alles auswählen

/tftpboot/linux/pxelinux.cfg/install

and change the append line from

Code: Alles auswählen

  append initrd=miniroot.bz2 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=791 quiet splash

to

Code: Alles auswählen

  append initrd=miniroot.bz2 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=791

and post the output from the opsi-linux-bootimage

Same as above except two more lines:
[<c13d079e>] ? start_kernel+0x2ee/0x2f3
[<c13d02ee>] ? kernel_init+0x117/0x117

quiet splash was already removed. So what i removed now was lang=en, edd=off and acpi=off

*EDIT* also did pxe and config restart

Dont know what changed since last time but tried again today.

It continued and came to ip adress fields. problem now is that they are not filled in. Even with correct settings it cannot continue. ifconfig etho adress failed 255. SIDCSIFFLAGS (sorry did not get the whole message)

Thought that something with the server had crashed or our dhcp but other computers except the two i7s im currently haveing problems with is working.

Tried to remove the adresses from our dhcp server and tested again but same issue.

Thanks for providing more information. However , maybe you could please help by answering a few questions:

1) When you say "two i7s im currently haveing problems with is working. ", Do you mean that the i7 machine runs normally but
does not run after miniroot.bz2 is loaded (both of them)?

2) Which version of opsi are you using?
(You can find out by typing: shell% dpkg -l | grep opsi )

3) If a i7 machine is working, then could you please test your network connection by typing:
shell% sudo ifconfig -a
shell% sudo lshw -class network

4) Another way to test the network access would be to try to ssh into this machine. Can you ssh into this machine?

thanks,

1) When you say "two i7s im currently haveing problems with is working. ", Do you mean that the i7 machine runs normally but

We have tested opsi on alot of diffrent computers from laptops(HP and DELL), asus, hp and dell desktops. All have worked flawlessly until the lastest vostro 470 with i7.
So now I have two vostro 470 i7 that before was stuck at black screen and now continues to network configuration but you cannot continue.

2) Which version of opsi are you using?
(You can find out by typing: shell% dpkg -l | grep opsi )
ii opsi-atftpd 0.7.dfsg-1.7 advanced TFTP server - opsi version with pcre, fifo and max-blks
ii opsi-configed 4.0.1.24-1 OPSI config editor
ii opsi-depotserver 4.0.2.1-1 opsi depotserver configuration package
ii opsi-linux-bootimage 20120119-1 opsi linux bootimage
ii opsi-utils 4.0.2.1-1 opsi utils
ii opsiconfd 4.0.2.1-1 opsi configuration service
ii opsipxeconfd 4.0.2.1-1 opsi pxe configuration daemon
ii python-opsi 4.0.2.1-1 opsi python library

3) If a i7 machine is working, then could you please test your network connection by typing:
shell% sudo ifconfig -a
shell% sudo lshw -class network
I haven't gotten a i7 to work yet.

4) Another way to test the network access would be to try to ssh into this machine. Can you ssh into this machine?
The network is working as far as pxe boot and loading miniroot but after that it's stuck.


Will try with opsi cd today insted of pxe, also orderd a network card to test with insted.

Try the bootimage from testing

Code: Alles auswählen

 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/uibmz:/opsi:/opsi40-testing

If you are starting with opsi it might be anyway a good choice to start with

Whats the recommended way to update a vmware server to new opsi version?
I'm no expert on linux.
