SVN 2789: Tasks stuck at /init.xz... ok, or, "The reason for Read-only Friday"
-
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.
-
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.
-
Will try on Monday.
-
Undionly.kpxe does NOT work for us. And the init is still getting stuck.
-
What machines are you having difficulty with?
-
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?
-
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.
-
Are you still on 2789? Can you try on 2811?
-
2811 works! Thank God!
Rather, thank Tom Elliott.
