same failure if I install F9 on an LS21 (which works fine), then configure a rawhide repo and yup update kernel to 2.6.27-0.408.rc9.git1.fc10 machine will load kernel and initrd (display dots) and then reboot can you boot with initcall_debug and see if that prints anything exciting ? you may also need earlyconsole=ttyS0 nothing more on the installer kernel: f10betax86_64/vmlinuz initrd=f10betax86_64/initrd.img method=ftp://192.10.10.2 50/pub/Fedora/release/test/10-Beta/Fedora/x86_64/os console=ttyS0,115200 initc all_debug earlyconsole=ttyS0 Loading f10betax86_64/vmlinuz............................................... Loading f10betax86_64/initrd.img................................................ ................................................................................ ................................................................................ ............................................................ready. Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok and on the F9 install with kernel-2.6.27-0.408.rc9.git1.fc10 root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27-0.408.rc9.git1.fc10.x86_64 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVo l00 initcall_debug earlyconsole=ttyS0 console=ttyS0,115200 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3000, size=0x2a7040] initrd /initrd-2.6.27-0.408.rc9.git1.fc10.x86_64.img [Linux-initrd @ 0x37c8e000, 0x36159d bytes] Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok and in both cases the blade just power-cycles after the 'ok' as before, adding edd=off does not help, blade still power cycles, I just do not get the Probing EDD line before it does. root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27-0.408.rc9.git1.fc10.x86_64 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVo l00 initcall_debug earlyconsole=ttyS0 console=ttyS0,115200 edd=off [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3000, size=0x2a7040] initrd /initrd-2.6.27-0.408.rc9.git1.fc10.x86_64.img [Linux-initrd @ 0x37c8e000, 0x36159d bytes] marginal change after BIOS update was applied; - Newest BIOS v1.08 (old was v1.01) - Newest BMC firmware v1.26 (old was v1.13) Now the blade does not power cycle any more, but it also does not proceed. I see the same output as before on serial console and on the VGA console it stays at Kernel alive Kernel really alive (it may have displayed these also before but as they are only on VGA I would not have seen them if they came immediately before the power cycle) So, all in all we still have an inability to boot x86_64 F10 beta for4 install. How can I help to make this bug move forward? (In reply to comment #5) > marginal change after BIOS update was applied; agh, forgot to load setup defaults as one always should do after BIOS upgrade. Doing that makes the boot failure go away. closing NOTABUG as this problem is solved by a clean BIOS update (will have to open a new bug as I get a but further now but not yet complete install, but at least it does boot now) |
