Failed to initialize with ENTRY_INIT Status = -4

Asya — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 09:42:19 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to initialize ignite install...

Main Menu: Enter command or menu > bo lan.10.1.8.214 install
Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)?> n

Booting...
Failed to initialize with ENTRY_INIT Status = -4

0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
3 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
8 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
.... FAILED.

The only recent changes were that IPv6 was installed on the server and it was rebooted.

netstat gives correct IP address.

There is nothing in logs...I'm in a total loss what could be the problem...

Thanks!

Shalom,

You imply that this has worked before from this same system.

Please check following.

1) boot processes running on target ignite server or boot helper.
2) network connectivity between hosts.
3) nfs/tftp running on ignite server.

Got a question. What do you need IPv6 for anyway? Planning to implement it on your LAN?

Consider backing it out if in fact that is the only change and this ignite process has worked before.

Shalom:)

1. What boot processes..? rbootd?

2. network seems to be alright. They are both on the same subnet.

3. nfs is running. tftp..i'm not sure. How do i check?

# ps -eadf |grep ftp
root 12130 763 0 09:53:05 ? 0:00 tftpd /opt/ignite /var/opt/ignite /igniteuxdata

though i don't understand why something would start just a minute ago.....

Regarding IPv6...i wasn't the one installing. My co-workers did. If you want, i could ask them any information you might need...

Could be a problem with the target or the server.

Try this command at the firmware prompt:
"search lan install"
And see if your server can find anything out there to talk to.

I wonder how compatible Ignite is with IPv6
