Bare Metal Install

[Pcpaulh]

Hi, I'm installing on LTS 16.04. Is there a way to break out of the initial EVE setup script? The server gets an IP initially (DHCP) then when I follow the install instructions (http://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documen ... re-install) and reboot-no IP address. Unfortunately I cant get into the server to do anything as it goes automatically into the setup screen. When I run through setup (have tried both DHCP and static) the server reboots and goes back to the setup menu.

Thanks in advance

It's CTRL-C if anyone else is stuck.

For all those ones who have some problems after installing eve on bare-metal, remember that your interfaces name will change after you use the "sed -i -e 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0"/' /etc/default/grub" command, so check your interfaces name with ifconfig and then edit your /etc/networks/interfaces with the new ones.

Hi, thanks. I tried this but the server not picking up an IP after installing EVE. ifconfig shows eth0 and the /etc/networks/interfaces file shows eth0 too.

I am facing the same problem in the beginning....not sure why after the eve-ng installation, it kills my eth0 (driver)....

if i do a ifconfig eth0 up it give me error ...something is missing (driver)
and cat /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate showing the state is down (although physically nic led is light up)

i just reinstall my network driver and everything works.

Hi guys I got the same issue.

After install the script the server does not get IP address from the DHCP server anymore.
I tried ifup pnet0 but the following message comes up:
bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.23.fw"

How did you install the network driver?

Cheers.

How did you install the network driver?

I commented the following line in kickstart:

Code: Select all

d-i    base-installer/kernel/override-image    string linux-virtual

I had exactly the same with aN HP server. No Linux expert so disabled the onboard NIC and install an Intel NIC-problem solved.

Go to following URL
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/no ... e-nonfree/

download either one
firmware-bnx2_20161130-2_all.deb
firmware-bnx2_20161130-2~bpo8+1_all.deb

1. copy the download .deb file to usb thumb drive (fat32)
2. insert the usb thumb drive to server, run fdisk -l to see where is the thumb drive letter
3. make a directory for usb thumb drive mount point ..eg mkdir /tmp/usb
4. mount the thumb drive...(my thumb drive is /dev/sdb1)....eg mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /tmp/usb
5. change to mount directory cd /tmp/usb
6. install the driver
dpkg -i DEB_PACKAGE firmware-bnx2_20161130-2_all.deb
7. once installed,
ifconfig eth0 up

or reboot
