[parisc-linux] request to boot (denied)

Hi!

We got the message of "08:00:09:87:e4:8f: request to boot 
(denied) " from the system message. 
But  we ran the rbootd in this machine. Does anyone know how to figure it out?

thanks,

Han,

There are two important things you need to do:

A. Please _read_ the manual for rbootd. (man rbootd)

B. Please _check_ the mailing list archive for solutions to this problem. 
   (http://www.parisc-linux.org/mailing-lists/)

Secondly, I would recommend that you contact one of the Unix admins from
the Computer Science faculty at UWO (Scott Feeney, Magi, Bruce Richards) and
drop your general Unix questions in their direction.

It seems to me that many of your problems stem from not having
experience with a general Unix environment.

You might want to go here:
http://www.linuxcare.com/linux-business/bookshelf/newbie.epl#0672315459
(and purchase one or two of these books, since they will be forever usefull!)

Yes, that was a shameless Linuxcare plug ;)

---

Usefull checklist of things:

1. Do you have /etc/rbootd.conf ?
2. Is rbootd.conf setup properly ?
3. Do you have a kernel in the proper directory ? /var/lib/rbootd ?
4. Permissions on the image ?
5. Is rbootd running ?
6. Did you pass the right parameters to rbootd on startup ? (rbootd -d /etc/rbootd.conf)

Rbootd:

Ever patient,
Carlos.

Hi!
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with rbootd in our 715/50 machine.

We get the rbootd running.
1. the rbootd.conf is located at /etc
2. the rbootd.conf contains:

08:00:09:78:ab:0f    vmlinux        #Corus

(we have vmlinux, lifimage located at /export/hp/rbootd/ . and try both in
rbootd.conf

3. we set the vmlinux and lifimage r and x (readable).
4. rbootd is located at /etc/init.d/ and we run it by "rbootd
start". after
modifying the rbootd.conf, we use "rbootd restart" to restart it. 

5. we try to use "rbootd -d " to debug the messages. we get the
message. The following is a sample from the system message.

6. We do not know what is going on with this machine?  If anyone can help
on this problem, that will be much helpful.

thanks,

Han,

I will email you off-list with a few more _detailed_ pointers.

Cheers,
Carlos.

Thanks for the reply,

We fixed the problem mentioned before.

A new problem is that after the hp box start to boot, it branches to
kernel and then the screen goes black. We cannot see anything, and we
tried to serial console, but cannot see any activity.  It looks like hang,
any idea?

[parisc-linux] Palo not running -- "Installing Pa-risc linux problem"

[Yan Han]

We came across a question of following the instrustuion in "INstalling
pa-risc linux" (www.parisc-linux.org/software/install.html". in
Step 8  "Initialize the boot loader (roughly equivalent to lilo): *** NOTE
*** change both '3's in the following command to use your partition number
		$ palo -k /boot/vmlinux -b /boot/iplboot \
			-c '3/boot/vmlinux TERM=linux HOME=/ root=/dev/sda3' \
			-I /dev/sda

"

Question 1 : After booting up from network, we logged in serial console and
palo is not in HP box.
so we copied palo from the NFS server into the NFS directory so that the HP
box can "see it" . However, it cannot run "palo". ( we think that palo is
compiled under intel chip, and don't like the HP's Risc CPU).
2. We tried to compile "palo" again in HP box, but we cannot compile it?

any idea about this,

Palo should have been run as part of the Debian install process and you
should have an /etc/palo.conf.  If you are installing by hand you have more
work to do...

The Debian package for palo is on the CD and in the Debian mirror system.

Please use the Debian package.  You can install the Debian package from
the CD with 'dpkg --install palo_<version>.deb'.

If you want help compiling palo please send the output from 'make'.

I think the older machines only support bootp and not rboot.

It's the other way around, Grant.

Hi!

We solved the previous question I posted. so now the Hp715/50 machine get
started. But we still get some problems.

We get the log message "08:00:09:78:ab:0f: boot packets ignored" after
getting  "08:00:09:78:ab:0f:  request to boot lifimage (granted) "
