/image path seems hard coded in PXE version.

Wed, 29 May 2013 22:33:38 +0200

Hello,

I tried setting this up in a kickstart environment, where we have multiple OS's. The problem is I do not want to use the /image base directory, and the root directory is not really a good place for the KIWI configuration directory.

Is there some boot option that can be passed on to change the KIWI location to (say):
/util/stresslinux-11.4/KIWI/config.default

As well as for the md5:
/util/stresslinux-11.4/stresslinux_11.4.x86_64-0.7.177.md5

Thanks!

via pxe - stresslinux boots, "Failed to setup DHCP network interface !"

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:09:45 +0200

Hey everyone. I am pxebooting stresslinux from isc-dhcpd. I get the boot menu and select stresslinux as the boot option, and stresslinux boots. It then fails at this screen every time:

Any thoughts on what the issue could be?

Thanks,

GPU Stressing?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013 19:15:50 +0100

Hi guys,

Just discovered your distribution and looks like I found what I was looking for to do some stress testing. I was wondering if it is possible to also stress the GPU (Nvidia or ATI) by including their official open source drivers and some relevant software.

In order to keep the distribution small it would not matter if you had two different flavors Nvidia, ATI.

Keep up the good work!

Stress FAIL - what do these messages mean?

Mon, 18 Feb 2013 05:23:27 +0100

This may be the wrong forum so please forgive me. I would appreciate anyone pointing me to where I can interpret these messages.

I'm running the program "stress" from the command line of Ubuntu Server 12.04. The command I'm using is:

$ stress --cpu 30 --io 16 --vm 2 --hdd 20 --timeout 1h

I get these messages multiple times:

FAIL: [4653] (584) write failed: No space left on device

and

FAIL: [4599] (397) <-- worker 4603 returned error 1

I get the write failed message even with various parameters much lower. I've also had a kernel panic when running stress as root.
I'm fairly sure that the hardware is buggy, which is why I am running "stress" in the first place

stresslinux pxe

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 20:15:39 +0100

Hi,

I have a bunch of remote systems and use PXE for things like imaging and parted magic.

Here's my stresslinux pxe conf:

LABEL stresslinux
MENU LABEL ^Stresslinux x86-64 0.7.177
KERNEL stress/initrd-netboot-suse-11.4.x86_64-2.1.1.kernel
APPEND initrd=stress/initrd-netboot-suse-11.4.x86_64-2.1.1.gz ramdisk_size=1108992

The system boots up and eventually I see a screen like the one attached.

Any idea what I did wrong?

Thanks,

Alan

How To Tell if StressLinux is working...?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012 15:59:15 +0100

Hi there,

I'm using stresslinux and I am not getting any readouts on my screen as to whether or not it is successful, or if it has found issues, etc.

I've got the disc in and it has been running for about half an hour now. The CDROM makes the loading noise, which fluctuates between super loud, and a little bit loud, and vice versa, and then goes quiet for a few minutes, and then does it all over again.

Is this StressLinux doing its stress test? And if so, how long should I let it do this before I deduce that there are no issues?

Stresslinux just keeps rebooting

Thu, 18 Oct 2012 16:46:59 +0200

Hi

During the boot up we see that stresslinux halts with an error and then reboots after 120 seconds. It also does this in failsafe mode.

Is there a way to find out why this is?

How to load stresslinux in RAM?

Hi. How to load stresslinux in RAM? Thanks.

USB RAW file

Wed, 15 Jun 2011 16:07:40 +0200

The USB .raw file unzips to 1,143,996,416 bytes which is just too large to fit onto my 1Gb USB drive.
Given that the .iso image is barely a quarter of that size, it would seem likely that it doesn't actually need to be so large.
Is there any way of shrinking the .raw file so that I can fit it onto my USB drive? (Or even a 512Mb drive for that matter)

Thanks
Paul

Odd Welcome

Mon, 30 May 2011 15:04:04 +0200

Greetings!

I just registered and sent in my first post - civilized, appropriate, and on-topic, I assure you - and I received the following welcome from this forum:

<< Akismet has detected that this is a spam message and will not be processed.
If you find this is in error please contact your forum administrator.

You may return to the thread here.
Alternatively, return to the forum. >>

Not a very warm welcome.

But before giving up on the stresslinux forums entirely - first impressions are important - could someone be kind enough to help me figure out what is going on?

Thank you,

Laz

downloading from site fails. bittorrent?

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 22:20:36 +0100

Hi all--

trying to get the latest version from the website but the download keeps failing. have tried from two different places, one with Firefox, one with wget. Wouldn't be that big a deal if either one could find a direct link to the file and do an HTTP 'continue' download. But since the download is abstracted behind something (php?) there appears to be no direct link.

I can't find a mirror site or a torrent either. I'd gladly share my torrent back indefinitely if there were one

Any chance someone could do an official torrent of the downloads? paste an SHA-1 or MD5 on the website for verification?

much appreciated! thx!

Kernel Panic on Acer laptop

Wed, 19 May 2010 18:26:56 +0200

I just got hold of an Acer Aspire and I wanted to do some stress testing.

When I try to boot to the default, I get a kernel panic, referencing init. I tried to boot with noinitrd, and I got a kernel panic NFS and VFS errors.

This is an intel SU2700 on an Acer Aspire 5810TZ.

here's from vanilla boot:
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 432: Cannot open dev/console: No such file
Kernl Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

And here's from noinitrd
Root_NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root FS via NFS, trying floppy
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER

loading memtest works okay.

MemTest Problem. When i try to select this option i get "kernel is not found"

Fri, 23 Apr 2010 23:12:52 +0200

Hello.

First of all I would like to thank the developers for their work. I really like this Live CD! It is very useful.

But I have the problem that i wrote in the title of the topic. This problem arises in last versions (0.5.111,0.4.136,0.4.111), and in version 0.3.1 everything was okay. Can anybody help me? Or I should use old version?

I also ought to say that i came in Linux world not so long ago, so i admit that i'm doing something wrong. I'll be glad if you show me the way to solve this problem.

I would like to say Happy New Year to all.
See you guys later.

Let me make you smile a bit.

Funny Jokes.

[b]Life After Death [/b]
A boss asked one of his employees, "Do you believe in life after death?"
"Yes, sir," replied the new employee. "I thought you would," said the boss. "Yesterday after you left to go to your grandmother's funeral, she stopped in to see you!"

[b]Support a Family [/b]
The prospective son-in-law was asked by his girl friend's father, "Son, can you support a family?"
"Well, no, sir," he replied. "I was just planning to support your daughter. The rest of you have to fend for yourselves."

[b]The Water Pistol [/b]
My five year old son squealed with delight when he opened his birthday present from his grandmother. It was a water pistol. He promptly ran to the sink to fill it.

"Mom," I said. I'm surprised at you. "Don't you remember how we used to drive you crazy with water pistols?" My mom smiled and said, "Yes, I remember."
