SVN 2789: Tasks stuck at /init.xz... ok, or, "The reason for Read-only Friday"

[2cool4me4]

Now I remember why I don’t change things on Friday

If I run a task, iPXE stops at /init.xz… ok

I’m using undionly.kkpxe because it’s the only file compatible with all of our hardware.

I hope there’s a log somewhere that you can read.

[Tom Elliott]

Maybe, you can try undionly.kpxe now?

I believe the latest ipxe files have more support that should work with all your systems too, though I’m not 100% sure.

[2cool4me4]

Will try on Monday.

Undionly.kpxe does NOT work for us. And the init is still getting stuck.

[Wolfbane8653]

What machines are you having difficulty with?

[Tom Elliott]

I guess I’m not understanding the init.xz being stuck. While I know what you’re saying, is this “stuck” a forever lasting thing (5 minutes or more) or have you not waiting that long to find out?

[2cool4me4]

The problem with undionly.kpxe is one model of machine we have (With an ASUS M4A78L-M motherboard) don’t get past “iPXE initialising devices”. Undionly.kkpxe not only works on all of our machines, but it is faster.

The wait lasts forever to my knowledge.

[Tom Elliott]

Are you still on 2789? Can you try on 2811?

[2cool4me4]

2811 works! Thank God!

Rather, thank Tom Elliott.
