I'm trying to debug a problem with a system booting with root on NFS. I would have attached a serial console long ago and solved the problem, but this box doesn't have a serial port ... what's the alternative for getting access to those early messages?
I used netconsole when I had to capture oops output on console in the past.
On my first attempt, I just added netconsole to the initrd and the parameters as kernel arguments - this loaded netconsole too early, before the network interface was present :-) Still, I loaded it again once in the emergency shell, thanks! Funny old problem - mkinitrd didn't properly configure the initrd for nfsroot. I had to add -d /dev/nfs. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
