Hi, I have a problem with booting Dell 2850 over network. The machine reads kernel over net, boots upto mounting / from NFS and then crashes.
Tcpdump output: 12:15:58.919683 arp who-has 10.158.190.73 tell 10.158.190.74 12:15:58.919702 arp reply 10.158.190.73 is-at 00:11:43:d3:6e:e1 12:15:58.920058 IP 10.158.190.74.475209176 > 10.158.190.73.2049: 92 getattr [|nfs] 12:15:58.920134 IP 10.158.190.73.2049 > 10.158.190.74.475209176: reply ok 28 getattr ERROR: Stale NFS file handle 12:15:58.920432 arp who-has 10.158.190.73 tell 10.158.190.74 12:15:58.920442 arp reply 10.158.190.73 is-at 00:11:43:d3:6e:e1 12:15:58.920681 IP 10.158.190.74.475209177 > 10.158.190.73.2049: 100 lookup [|nfs] 12:15:58.920707 IP 10.158.190.73.2049 > 10.158.190.74.475209177: reply ok 28 lookup ERROR: Stale NFS file handle 12:15:58.920932 IP 10.158.190.74.475209178 > 10.158.190.73.2049: 100 lookup [|nfs] 12:15:58.920963 IP 10.158.190.73.2049 > 10.158.190.74.475209178: reply ok 28 lookup ERROR: Stale NFS file handle 12:15:58.952180 IP 10.158.190.74.475209179 > 10.158.190.73.2049: 100 lookup [|nfs] 12:15:58.952277 IP 10.158.190.73.2049 > 10.158.190.74.475209179: reply ok 28 lookup ERROR: Stale NFS file handle 12:15:58.984785 IP 10.158.190.74.475209180 > 10.158.190.73.2049: 100 lookup [|nfs] 12:15:58.984866 IP 10.158.190.73.2049 > 10.158.190.74.475209180: reply ok 28 lookup ERROR: Stale NFS file handle 12:15:59.020500 IP 10.158.190.74.475209181 > 10.158.190.73.2049: 104 lookup [|nfs] 12:15:59.020573 IP 10.158.190.73.2049 > 10.158.190.74.475209181: reply ok 28 lookup ERROR: Stale NFS file handle 12:15:59.054130 IP 10.158.190.74.475209182 > 10.158.190.73.2049: 104 lookup [|nfs] 12:15:59.054224 IP 10.158.190.73.2049 > 10.158.190.74.475209182: reply ok 28 lookup ERROR: Stale NFS file handle I wonder where the `Stale NFS handle' error comes from, as the client doesn't seem to have mounted the filesystem over NFS from what I can see. On the console of the diskless I have this: NFS ROOT: 10.158.190.73:/var/www/FreeBSD-5.4-x86-PXE em0: Link is up 100 Mbps Half Duplex exec /sbin/init: error 70 exec /sbin/oinit: error 70 exec /sbin/init.bak: error 70 exec /rescue/init: error 70 exec /stand/sysinstall: error 70 init: not found in path /sbin/init:/sbin/oinit:/sbin/init.bak:/rescue/init:/stand/sysinstall panic: no init Uptime: 55s Cannot dump. No dump device defined. Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort The speed for em0 is obviously wrong. Setting on the switch is 100 full-duplex. Our network wizards can f***kup autonegotiation on Cisco Catalyst, so it must stay that way. Intel em-s tend to hang for a couple of seconds before getting on the net so it might be the problem. On the other hand kernel loads just fine over TFTP. Any thoughts? Thanks, /S -- Sławek Żak / UNIX Systems Administrator
