Panic after cloning with ignite

[likid0]

Hy,

I am cloning a 11.11 server from a superdome to a rp7240. i am installing in internal disk, all the restore goes fine, after ignite first reboot i get a kernel panic:

Stored message buffer up to panic:
PDC_MODEL_CPU_ID returned 0x14

System Panic:

I have tried, cloning another system from the same SD, and it works fine.

I have also tried putting the intalling to new hardware option to true, so it build a new kernel but the same resault.


Any idea?


Thnx!!

Not sure if you have a rp7420 or rp7440 - but there is no rp7240.

I think you didn't patch the source system with an almost current HW-enable patch set, so your image has no drivers or software support for this server.

See this message:

"Unidentified cpu type returned from PDC_MODEL"

Cloning from a superdome to an rp7420. This might be too much of a streach for cross platform cloning. I suppose if the chipset were the same it could be possible.

My first thought from the message would indicate that it might not understand or have configs for the CPU type in the RP.

But you say another clone attempt from a superdome to a different RP works ? If so, I guess I would start checking on the RPs firmware levels.

Yes i ment rp7420, and yes i have restored ignites from systems in the same superdome, BUT having a look at the patch level, the HWE in the server that gives the panic is older than the others, i am going to try to update HWE as i ignite the clone.

I will tell u if it had something to do..

Hy i finally installed the HWE 11.11 07 release, and the ignite clone worked fine!.


Thnx aLL
