OpenSUSE not booting properly

Mairiiv · 04-14-2010, 11:28 AM

Good day there

A bit of background.

I am a Java developer for a small company that develops web based solutions to our clients. My Linux skill levels are somewhere between newbie and experienced.

The company I'm working for has hosted server that is self managed due to the nature of the software that we develop. The server is located in a data center and the host is fully responsible for maintaining the hardware.

Recently the motherboard of the server failed and had to be replaced, this happened promptly, however when the server was booted up I was notified that our Linux is giving problems starting up.

I was given access to the server via a Raritan lara (KVM-over-IP).

This enabled me to configure the network again.

A few things I've noticed with this however. The old network interface was named eth0 while after the swap the new one is named eth1. There is a failure message for bringing up the NIC named eth0 (old non-existing one).

Further after the re-configuring of the NIC (IP, subnet etc) I could connect to the server via SSH, our Apache was running without any visible issues (didn't notice anything in the Apache erroe log). The web frontend on JBoss was running good but I kept getting the failure to start eth0 message on startup. As well through the KVM device you never saw the login prompt, it just hangs on some point (once it was after saying httpd2 started up successfully and another after CRON).

I have no idea of where to go look for this issue and I can't even say for sure that it's after the motherboard issue as I could use SSH without a problem after the NIC configuration as I used to connect to the server.

I've further looked at dmseg but that also doesn't give any indication for me.

Here is my dmesg log

I know I need to at a point upgrade the OpenSUSE on the server as 10.3 is currently running, but I'd rather have it stable first.

A bit of background.

I am a Java developer for a small company that develops web based solutions to our clients. My Linux skill levels are somewhere between newbie and experienced.

The company I'm working for has hosted server that is self managed due to the nature of the software that we develop. The server is located in a data center and the host is fully responsible for maintaining the hardware.

Recently the motherboard of the server failed and had to be replaced, this happened promptly, however when the server was booted up I was notified that our Linux is giving problems starting up.

I was given access to the server via a Raritan lara (KVM-over-IP).

This enabled me to configure the network again.

A few things I've noticed with this however. The old network interface was named eth0 while after the swap the new one is named eth1. There is a failure message for bringing up the NIC named eth0 (old non-existing one).

Further after the re-configuring of the NIC (IP, subnet etc) I could connect to the server via SSH, our Apache was running without any visible issues (didn't notice anything in the Apache erroe log). The web frontend on JBoss was running good but I kept getting the failure to start eth0 message on startup. As well through the KVM device you never saw the login prompt, it just hangs on some point (once it was after saying httpd2 started up successfully and another after CRON).

I have no idea of where to go look for this issue and I can't even say for sure that it's after the motherboard issue as I could use SSH without a problem after the NIC configuration as I used to connect to the server.

I've further looked at dmseg but that also doesn't give any indication for me.

Here is my dmesg log

I know I need to at a point upgrade the OpenSUSE on the server as 10.3 is currently running, but I'd rather have it stable first.

Check your /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 file. Chances are, the interface name/MAC address, etc., are in there, and were tied to the old interface details.

Modify the file accordingly, and you should be ok.

Hi good morning,
I also am somewhere between newbie and experienced I've had this same issue with a small business client. We replaced the motherboard on his server and after a day of pondering and cruising the internet I realized I had forgotten to reconfigure the bios. We had irq redirection turned off intel-vt was off and a lot of other things as well.
I didn't take the time to read your whole dmesg output but taking a chance maybe you just need to check the bios.
Maybe not something that simple but even after getting certified and employed, I still forgot to do something that simple, check with your host to make sure they set your bios up as it was before. Otherwise check the sysconfig for ur ethernet card.
Goodluck!

Somewhere with a search I did get to the /etc/sysconfig/network directory and there I noticed that there where both 'ifcfg-eth0' and 'ifcfg-eth1'

Seeing that there was only 1 physical NIC and that eth1 was the one comming up and which yast allowed me to reconfigure I tried to move the 'ifcfg-eth0' file away and rename the 'ifcfg-eth1' to 'ifcfg-eth0' but it only recreated the 'ifcfg-eth1' file with the same bootup problem. Seeing that I did swap the two files and 'ifcfg-eth1' had the new MAC etc. I'm not sure if purely modifying the 'ifcfg-eth0' will have any impact.

Hoang519 I'll ask from the data center's technicians if they did set up the bios the same as it was.

Edit: For clarification, there are 2 issues. The old NIC is from somewhere being referenced and tried to be brought up and this fails. The second issue which might or might not be related to the first is that the startup doesn't seem to go fully through.

I also attached a screenshot of the KVM-over-IP that I get. It just hangs like that during startup and not always at the same point.
