Package: installation-reports Severity: important Dear Maintainers,
I can't install Jessie remotely on a Dell R510 server over IPMI, because the IPMI session gets killed at ethdetect. The server is very mainstream, a Dell R510 model w/ a IPMI BMC shared over a BCM5716 NIC. I tried an old Jessie netboot image as well as yesterday's current one from : http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz + BNX2 firmware from : http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-bnx2_0.44_all.deb packed into the initrd. The installer boots fine and asks for the language, then tries to detect ethernet hardware and the IPMI session gets killed : timeout. It is then impossible to reach the BMC, the IPMI dedicated IP does not respond (ICMP confirms - it comes back after a power cycling from a PDU) I could however check that the network interface works fine by escaping the questions asked by the installer and starting a shell : ip link set eno1 up # works udhcpc -i eno1 # works, gets an ip ping whatever # works ethdetect # boum, big badaboum With Wheezy, the IPMI session gets freezed for 10s (ICMP reports ~10s of packet loss) then everything's ok. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
