[Bug 683249] New: Boot from iSCSI Fails
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683249 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683249#c0 Summary: Boot from iSCSI Fails Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nick@seakr.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=421789) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=421789) Boot log from unsuccessful iSCSI boot. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 When trying to boot from a disk using the software iSCSI initiator, the system does not boot. Initially the boot progresses as expected, but after initrd loads and the iSCSI initiator starts, I/O errors begin to appear and the system fails to boot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the installer from a CD, DVD, LiveCD, or network share. 2. In the partitioning section, select the Advanced step of Configure iSCSI. 3. Set up iSCSI parameters and connect to target. 4. Partition the iSCSI disk. 5. Install openSuSE 11.4 onto this iSCSI disk. 6. Reboot the system, booting to the iSCSI disk. This can be accomplished with either an Ethernet NIC that supports booting to iSCSI or the gPXE and iPXE utilities, which enable SAN booting. Actual Results: I/O errors on the iSCSI disk devices, with final result of: INIT: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/mingetty" INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/mingetty" INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes Full log is attached as iscsi-boot.log. Expected Results: Successful boot to the login screen. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It installs the packages, but fails to install the boot loader, at which point it complains about an error in initrd. I'm wondering whether this is some local issue or you did something different to install it, eg. partition is in some special way. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. I partitioned it with a / and a swap partition, and tried a regular partition table and a GPT. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Nick, I'm trying to install OpenSUSE 11.4 in a vm, on a iSCSI disk. It installs the packages, but fails to install the boot loader, at which point it complains about an error in initrd. I'm wondering whether this is some local issue or you did something different to install it, eg. partition is in some special way. Maybe I'm missing something obvious.
I partitioned it with a / and a swap partition, and tried a regular partition table and a GPT.
I was actually doing a physical machine install, and I believe the bootloader was actually installing correctly, but I'm not certain. I may have had to go back and correct the bootloader configuration. Anyway, I'm able to actually get it to boot off iSCSI, and I believe it passes the iBFT information through from the BIOS to the kernel, tries to connect open-iscsi to the target, and tries to continue to boot. At some point, though, something about the boot process steps on the iSCSI daemons toes and interrupts access to the iSCSI target, which causes I/O errors on the disk, and, ultimately, failure of the system to boot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
