We're in the process of deploying Linuxbios to boot a cluster of Opteron based blade servers. I built a new kernel, put it in /tftpboot after using:
mkelf-linux --rootdir=rom --ip=rom ./bzImage > vmlinuz.tyan
and cycled the blade. Wen booting, I get:
Searching for server (DHCP) Me: 192.168.1.200, Server: 192.168.1.200, Gateway 192.168.1.1 Loading 192.168.1.200:vmlinuz.tyan (ELF)... done
LinuxBIOS-1.1.62.0_Fallback [date date] starting... Unknown Trwt
Looking at an old message to this list, there's this snippet: http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxbios@clustermatic.org/msg03174.html
where the following line(s) are, in set_Trwt()... if ((clocks < DTH_TRWT_MIN) || (clocks > DTH_TRWT_MAX)) { die("Unknown Trwt"); }
What is this, and why is it happening? Is there a patch needed for LinuxBIOS to work properly on modern Opterons?
Thanks, I'm in dire straights here, any help would be appreciated.
