Installing Diskless MDs

[Marie.O]

And does it work now? If not, what errors do you see? And paste the ls information you pasted above again.

Unfortunately it does not work. I think it may have something to do with the "dangling symlink"?

The files are still to large. I wonder if this has to do with some modules that are being compiled for your nvidia card.

[maverick0815]

That Sounds plausible, since the Setup was working up to the point when the graphics driver was being compiled

[Marie.O]

Seems the need to update the tftpd server grows...

Background: atftpd only supports downloads up to 32MB - I'll see what I can do create some new packages that will probably pull some other tftpd server in.

[maverick0815]

Would I be able to install one manually?

[Marie.O]

I am running it manually atm, but it involves using dpkg -r --force-xxx to get rid of atftpd and apt-get download another tftpd and manually installing it. This will cause the pluto-newmd-interactor package to be broken (in terms of package management, not functionality).

I am currently working on getting the MySQL glitches of 1604 sorted out. Between that and getting VDR onto a rpi MD, I'll see if I can find some time to get another tftpd into the mix.

[maverick0815]

No sweat...I still remember Rule #1

[Marie.O]

Maverick,

just a heads up. Installation of another tftpd server was successful. I will now need to implement the config for it, modify some package definitions in sqlCVS and hopefully, that will get us moving forward.

[maverick0815]

thank you very much for taking the time for the heads up! That sounds great.

[maverick0815]

I was that update for tftpd was up and installed it. So far that was working. However there was trouble with nvidia-375, which did not install correctly, so that I could not complete a wizard.
I decided to delete the me and start again. How the md won't even Setup and quits with Kernel-panic 0x00000200

[Marie.O]

You need to be a bit more verbose.

[maverick0815]

I'm trying:
I want to setup a new md (asrock ion300). Pxe booting works. It loads the initial image, but does not complete the setup. Instead it quits with a kernel-panic message.
Normally its supposed to setup the image, download driverd etc, until it says we announce ourselves to the router.....it never gets this far. Kernel-panic happens quite early.

to confirm, that's before announcing to the router?  Which version/arch of lmce?
