any idea?

maybe this help...

after a hour i now killed lilo.

the script is done done to...

# write config to lilo
cat >> /etc/lilo.conf << EOF
image=/boot/vmlinuz.atomic
label=atomic
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="ks=hd:$KSDEV/ks-1and1-$ARCH.cfg console=ttyS0,57600n8"

this exists in the lilo.conf.md

when i now try a...

lilo -R atomic

Fatal: No image "atomic" is defined

So just to understand what you're seeing, you run AOOI, and then it hangs when running lilo. Correct?

Waylanderl · Unread post by **Waylanderl** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 8:21 am

short... yes

ive now run smartctl longrun on both disks...

=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 1056 -

=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 1057 -

both disks looks fine and 1+1 DONT change the disks without a errorlog...

DAMN

any other hints why lilo hang?

maybe hang is the wrong description, lilo still respond, i can close it with strg-c, but when i just type "lilo" the §$%/! goin up to 100% cpu for an hour or i close it

ok, now i ligin via sercon to test somethin... i got

ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
ata1.00: cmd b0/d4:00:81:4f:c2/00:00:00:00:00/00 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 0
res 40/00:01:01:4f:c2/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient

what THIS now mean?
anyone have a idea?

ok, ive tried other ways now...

reinit to suse 10.1 64

aooi tell me...

sh: line 72: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: No such file or directory

reinit again to ubuntu6 64

aooi tell me again...

sh: line 72: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: No such file or directory

need i other scripts for this systems? just saw on the frontpage the installer will work with all linux versions.

btw... lilo work as expected on ubuntu

I think this might be a kernel problem with the latest 2.6.20.2 kernel they're using. What kernels did ubuntu and suse boot into?

Waylanderl · Unread post by **Waylanderl** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 2:17 pm

dunno, sorry

just another reinit to debian

now the script dont stop at this line 72, but...

/edit: scott, when u need a box to test the new kernels with your scripts, i have one, you can take it a week or so. i remember some months ago you asked for boxes to test

/edit2 i run the last test now (reinit suse 9.3 64) when this fails too, ill reinit back to suse 10.1 and the second one with the line 72 error ant tell you the kernelversions

thx for all your help

way

Cool, all I need to confirm this is the output from uname -a on each distro, and if lilo works with it or not.

atomic added, updated and running

thanks again scott^^

Its very possible that some change has been made to their FC6 image. It is a customized version, and not a normal FC6 install at all. Given that most of those systems were running the same kernel, the kernel can be ruled out as the cause.

Which OS did you manually create the mount point for? FC6?

Waylanderl · Unread post by **Waylanderl** » Fri Oct 12, 2007 8:13 am

nope, for suse 10, 2 posts above u can see the error output^^
