Bug Description
I am attempting to install Ubuntu 9.04 from the following netboot image: http://
The server loads the image and then fails back to the OpenBoot prompt with the following error:
{0} ok boot net:dhcp,
Boot device: /virtual-
ERROR: /packages/obp-tftp: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss
The older intrepid and hardy netboot images will load, but then fail later while detecting disks.
The gutsy netboot image loads, detects disks, and fully installs. I can then upgrade the install all the way up to jaunty, but this is very inefficient.
I am not sure if base-installer is the proper package to report this against. I also cannot determine how the netboot images are being built. If someone can provide instructions I will be happy to work at building new netboot images and test them.
I'm also experiencing a similar phenomena when attempting a net boot install of Jaunty (same image) on an old Blade 150 workstation - have tried the OBP boot command two ways:
boot net debconf/ priority= low DEBIAN_ FRONTEND= text -o prompt
AND
boot net mem=512M ide=nodma debconf/ priority= low DEBIAN_ FRONTEND= text -o prompt
OBP has been flashed to the latest (4.17.1)
I'll be falling back to Solaris 10 shortly on this machine to get it up and running, but if there are additional details from this instance that may help, please feel free to ask, and I'll make an honest effort to provide what I am able.
