Instalation on Dell S4810-ON

[Marco Carvalho]

Hi ,

I'm trying to install ONL on a Dell S4810-ON switch wich is listed as supported and tested at http://opennetlinux.org/hcl, but when I run the installer (sh latest.installer) I receive this message "This installer does not support the powerpc-dell-s4810-on-p2020-r0 platform."

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Regards

[Rob Sherwood]

You want the 'latest-amd64.installer'; the 'latest.installer' is a link to 'latest-powerpc.installer' and only continues to exist for backwards compatibility. 

Let me take a note to remove it to avoid confusion.  Give that a try and let me know if it works.

Marco, 

The S4810 was originally named with a different ONIE platform identifier. The platform is supported, but only by the older name. 

We'll need to provide the (trivial) platform config packages which recognize the new platform name in the ONL tree.

Durh... thanks Jeff for the clarification.  I saw 'Dell' and miss read this as 4048 (an amd64 platform) and not the 4810 (powerpc platform).

Thanks Rob and Jeff

Jeff,

Do you have any idea when this config can be available?
Or there is anything that I can do in order to recompile for this platform?

Hi Marco,

I have been trying to install ONL on Dell s4810 on, everything seems okay but after the installation and during the first reboot, the system boots to onie rather than OS and I get this error message:   can't get kernel image

Any idea's on how can I get ONL working?

Many thanks

Sidali,

There are some S4810-ON systems on which we've seen this problem. We haven't seen it recently so I was hoping it had disappeared. 

The easiest solution is to reduce the size of the boot partition (as the problem seems to be a marginal clock timing talking to the MMC from uboot). 

I'd be happy to build you a custom installer if you'd be willing to test it on your system (probably sometime tomorrow or Monday).

Sidali, 

I've found another problem which will need to be resolved before I can make a test installer for you. Sorry about the delay.

Sidali, 

Please retry with the latest installer:

http://opennetlinux.org/binaries/latest-2.0-PPC.installer

If this still doesn't work on your box there is a new installer setting which allows you to override the boot partition size from the default. 

You invoke it like this:

ONIE:/ # ONL_BOOT_SIZE=20M onie-nos-install http://opennetlinux.org/binaries/latest-2.0-PPC.installer

This will change the size of the ONL_BOOT partition from the default pf 128M to 20M during installation. 

Let me know if this works for your system.

Hello Jeffrey,

The latest PPC installer works perfectly for a brand new Dell S4810-ON that I am trying with.

Of course switching doesn't seem to work out of the box for this model, I guess the next step is to compile OF-DPA on it?

Best regards.

 I have a similar issue on my S4810-ON. My output is here. 

I tried with the ONL_BOOT_SIZE=20M variable too. 

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,

[Jeffrey Townsend]

Henry,

Can you provide the output when running with ONL_BOOT_SIZE=20M? The output you pasted does not show it.

Jeff,

Sorry. This one definitely shows the right thing. I have also posted
this to the group.

Hi,

Did anyone manage to look at the below information? I appreciate your help. 

Kind regards,

Thanks for posting the output.  

The offending line seems to be:

Configuring system to boot Open Network Linux...

Install finished.  Rebooting to Open Network Linux.

/tmp/sfx-UPveC2/install-G1Jhpj: line 1: syntax error: unterminated quoted string

umount: tmpfs busy - remounted read-only

umount: can't remount rootfs read-only

The system is going down NOW!

Sent SIGTERM to all processes

Terminated

Sent SIGKILL toRestarting system.

Reset via the platform CPLD

Which causes the install to die prematurely which results in ONIE booting up again to try again.

Let me do a bit of leg work to figure out what's different between your system and our systems here.
