Title: upgrade problem 2.3-2.4 Post by: anvaruk on Friday 28 May 2010, 06:21:00 pm I nave Dell PowerEdge R300
Quad Core Xeon x3323 SAS 6i/R internal Controller Raid 2.3 worked fine (well, apart from many bugs) I did upgrade with efw-upgrade, successfully completed but when restarted did not see 2.4 on the booting menu, only 2.3 then it crashes and keep restarting mount: error 2 mounting ext3 ERROR opening /dev/console!!!!: 2 switchroot: mount failed: 22 [ 1.789367] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! [ 1780432] Rebooting in 10 seconds I did try fresh install but it crashes on blue screen (blue screen keeps flickering before giving language option) It's very strange, why 2.3 worked fine on my hardware but 2.4 doesn't Title: Re: upgrade problem 2.3-2.4 Post by: anvaruk on Friday 28 May 2010, 09:17:41 pm got reply from bug tracker:
Hi, if you have a scsi controller, see bugs.endian.it/view.php?id=2928 seems, there is a missing scsi module in the kernel, that comes with 2.4 they are working on fix Title: Re: upgrade problem 2.3-2.4 Post by: endian-christian on Friday 28 May 2010, 10:35:40 pm You could try to download the 2.4 ISO from Sourceforge and boot from the CD-ROM. Once done that wait until the installer asks you to choose your language. Instead of choosing a language you press Alt+F3 which will open a shell. Executing the following commands there might help you:
Code: mkdir /mnt Regards, Christian Title: Re: upgrade problem 2.3-2.4 Post by: anvaruk on Friday 28 May 2010, 11:06:58 pm I did try fresh install
it crashes as soon as blue screen comes on, before language select appears I did try to press Alt+F3 and it doesn't respond at all perhaps I need to try again pressing it earlier I will try tonight thanks Title: Re: upgrade problem 2.3-2.4 Post by: endian-christian on Saturday 29 May 2010, 03:19:55 am hmm... I'm unable to reproduce that :-/
Title: Re: upgrade problem 2.3-2.4 Post by: carlkb on Wednesday 09 June 2010, 11:21:31 am I have tried the 2.4 iso and it gives the same results as above (blue screen with an occaisional flicker)... absolutely kills the server.
I tried the latest 2.4 (RESPIN) and it won't boot at all. Can't stay with 2.3 because it won't NAT. Very disappointed... wasted several days and have nothing. Thanks, Carl Title: Re: upgrade problem 2.3-2.4 Post by: cabriolas on Thursday 08 July 2010, 02:51:58 am Same problem here...
Fresh install on a brand new HP Proliant ML110 G5. System frozed on language choose screen. Tried loading options nopcmcia and nousborpcmcia with the same results: FROZED!! -- like windows 98 ; ) Title: Re: upgrade problem 2.3-2.4 Post by: phqr58 on Thursday 19 August 2010, 04:42:28 am I have the same problem with HP PROLIANT ML110 G6 (ZEON QUAD CORE)
To test I installed IPCOP v2.0. The perfect setup, but does not have URL FILTER, no Antivirus, no Spamassassin It is therefore important to install Endian 2.4 SOLVED. The problem: just got off the latest version, which has 28 May Y |
