[03:30] * pyvpx would donate a vm happily, if he could get NetBSD on this damn thing once and for all [03:30] :p [03:49] why's netbsd not working? [03:53] it does not like the IPMI Virtual CDROM Drive [03:53] can it boot off floppy? [03:53] as archaic as that sounds :) [03:53] didn't bother to try as I assumed it was the same driver/code path. [03:54] also, that means I'd have to make one :p [03:54] i doubt it is. [03:54] virtual floppy i meant [03:54] or install ancient netbsd and slowly upgrade? haha [03:54] i've used virtual floppy on hp systems before. [03:54] I thought I'd be smart and install OpenBSD on one drive, then manually shoehorn netbsd on the other...but only one drive is bootable/recognizable in the system bios [03:55] damn [03:55] then I tried a FreeBSD liveCD, but could not get networking to work at all?? didnt look into it futher. [03:56] brought up interface, added default route...no nothin'...even to the gateway address. ARP entry...but no icmp replies. I'm guessing that's a sysctl thing but...gah [03:56] I'm trying to move and I've already wasted a month (I'm happy to give up_the_irons "free" money though :P) [03:56] maybe a problem reading the mac address? [03:56] and trying to use 00:00:00:00 or something [03:56] but i'm stabbing in the dark [03:56] nah, it got the right one. just no packets passing. tcpdump just shows STP frames and nothing else. [03:57] did you try in promisc mode? [03:57] so I'm further guessing it somes weird liveCD thing I dont know or care to investigate futher. by now, if I had any kernel hacking skillz, I'd have patched netbsd and had it installed :p [03:57] heh [03:58] what's netbsd actually doing? [03:58] does it show the cd? [03:58] I could install a bootloader on the first drive that points to an install on the second drive and try my luck that way [03:58] or you can't even load the kernel? [03:59] kernel loads, but then it can't mount the root filesystem as, according to the kernel, sd0 is offline and unable to be opened [03:59] "sd at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: disk removable [03:59] hmm [03:59] cd0 at atapibus0 drive 0: cdrom removable [03:59] sd: drive offline [03:59] sd: unable to open device, error = 19 [03:59] etc etc [03:59] boot device: cd0 [04:00] then it errors out and asks where to find the root filesyste :p [04:00] I had this problem with another cheap provider [04:00] when I needed a box in london for some things [04:00] wasted 99EUR and a month [04:00] was convinced it was their shotty iDRAC [04:00] nope, turns out NetBSD just has a bug that no one hits or cares to fix? [04:01] ich wiess es nicht [04:01] that sounds like a damn annoying bug [04:01] granted had I posted to the mailing list months ago, perhaps I'd have gotten some response or traction. rather than where I am now, politely bothering people in #netbsd and scratching my head [04:01] trying weird OS gymnastics [04:02] * pyvpx really just wants a shiny new netbsd/xen install, or three [04:02] netbsd dom0? [04:03] ja [04:04] i have a kind of crazy idea to get an install going [04:04] setup an install, save it as a file, use a linux live cd and dd it onto the drive. [04:04] err save the raw dd data [04:04] but it'd be nicer if could get it to work normally, as what happens if it goes wrong etc. [04:06] although it's probably easier to try to get it going if you can boot normally :) [04:06] hmm [04:07] you could also try pxe if you ahve another computer on the network [05:20] nope, no other ones. and yeah, that was my idea with the freebsd liveCD. only I just wanted to network access instead of asking for yet another iso (or .img) added to the ISO library. [05:21] I think I'll just ask as best I can on the netbsd mailing list if someone will hold my hand through debugging and patching this. [05:21] it *can't* be too difficult. it works flawlessly in open and free.... [05:21] famous last words, of course. [07:12] oof, that sounds like a headache [10:25] *** fink has joined #arpnetworks [10:51] *** mkb has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [10:55] *** mkb has joined #arpnetworks [12:15] oh this is vps [12:16] Why would a VPS have IPMI? [12:16] ipmi made me think dedicated. [12:16] ^ [12:16] cos otherwise there's not iso library is there? [12:16] actualyl mercutio it can be, of course [12:16] (VPS CD comes up as: [ 271.622784] scsi 0:0:1:0: CD-ROM QEMU QEMU DVD-ROM 1.0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5) [12:16] *actually [12:17] true, i didn't know if netbsd was doing something weird [12:17] if it's dedicated it's probably yet another intel revision of ethernet breaking freebsd [12:17] which would make sense [12:23] Don't dedicate boxes have a VPN-only address (and address space)? Or is that just the IPMI controller? [12:23] And as I recall, they are dual-NIC, so one would have to be sure they're configuring the correct interface. [13:06] both interfaces are on the same network [13:06] so either should work [13:11] True. i wonder, if a switch is configured for [static] port bonding, would the other end also need to be configured as such? Or would simply operating a single interface work? Probably depends on the type of bonding... [13:12] you should be able to alternate what ports you stick packets out on [13:12] but they may get reordered, as it's separate switches [13:12] and it's gigabit anyway so not really necessary. [13:13] there's something on the wiki somewhere about ways to set it up so it can failover [13:13] actually that reminds me, i dunno which switch the ip/kvm is on [13:14] i've been thinking about playing with bonding at home [13:14] but you kind of need more than gigabit from two cards. [13:14] That's what she said!! [13:14] so i thought it'd be kind of cool if it could route one of them over infiniband [13:17] i cap under port speed anyway [13:18] if you've got gigabit ports, then if something local sends at full gigabit another host can get impacted slightly [13:19] so i just cap most ports at 900 megabit [13:19] then stick fq_codel on it [16:38] *** fink has quit IRC (Quit: fink) [17:22] staticsafe: are you using dhcpv6 on your mikrotik box? [17:22] m0unds: nope [17:24] comcast enabled ipv6 for biz subs in my market, but dhcpv6 is lame and the implementation on my srx is buggy [17:34] figured i might try my rb450, but there's a chance it's buggy on that thing too, haha [17:46] is it dynamic ipv6? [17:52] they dynamically assign a prefix [17:53] you use IA_PD "hints" to request larger allocs [17:53] comcast will provide /64 by default, will allow resi customers to request a /60 and will allow biz to request /56 [17:54] unfortunately, for whatever stupid reason, juniper's IA_PD support is hardcoded to request a /48 and there's a dev request being completed to allow that to be specified in the cli [17:54] so it requests a /48 and gets a /56 and ignores it [18:27] m0unds: i don't use it but there are probably people in #ipv6 who use DHCPv6-PD on RouterOS, IIRC it works fine [18:27] i had someone IRC ask me for help for it earlier and they had comcast [18:28] it worked fine iirc [18:44] *** KDE_Perr1 is now known as KDE_Perry [19:16] *** xales1 has quit IRC (Quit: Derp) [20:38] ah, ok [20:38] staticsafe: have you seen the fun stuff you can do w/the ammo pack + aircraft in ps2? [20:39] yeah [20:39] i had no idea [20:39] someone put a pack on the nose of my mosquito and i did a rapid vertical take off and did 3 flips and blew up. it was amazing. [20:40] oh i recorded something today that was amusing [20:42] lemme see if i can cut it up [20:44] need some decent video editing software hm [21:21] can you just forward it to a linux box or osmething? [21:21] oh i was scrolled up a bit [21:47] *** mkb has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [22:00] *** Seji has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) [22:44] haha, enabling dhcpv6 on my rb crashes it [22:44] updated to 6.23, and it crashes when i load/unload qos queues and also when i enable dhcpv6 [22:45] You know what doesn't crash? pfSense :P [22:48] lots of other things don't crash either [22:52] i figured i'd see if routeros 6 still sucks on the 450g, and it does [22:52] Bummer [22:52] still crash-happy, over a year since i last tried it [22:52] (I know, I'm not helpful :p) [22:52] srx> show system uptime [22:52] Current time: 2014-12-05 23:51:05 MST [22:52] System booted: 2013-12-26 15:27:44 MST (49w1d 08:23 ago) [22:52] ^ there's something that doesn't ever crash [22:52] haha [22:53] only reason it was rebooted was for a firmware update (flow support for ipv6) [23:30] 8:30PM up 1296 days, 9:43, 1 user, load averages: 1.25, 1.25, 1.24
