Q: After installing Linux, I am not able to boot to the utility
partition by pressing the <F10> key during reboot.
A: Re-create the utility partition using the
upinit.sh script and install
grub in the boot partition.
Q: When booting DTK through PXE, my system displays error messages,
unknown behavior, and also leads to a kernel panic sometimes. However,
booting from the media causes no problems.
A: Ensure that you specify the correct
RAMDISK size in the pxe config file before booting through PXE. A sample
pxe config file is provided in
/mnt/cdrom/isolinux/isolinux.cfg.
Q: Can we use the same sample scripts that we have from earlier
versions of DTK?
A: The scripts written for the previous versions of DTK
do not work in the later versions for embedded Linux. For the sample
scripts, see the directory
/opt/dell/toolkit/template/scripts .
Q: After the DTK deployment is complete, the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux Server installation keeps going into attended mode or halts
with the message
ks.cfg not found.
A: If the
initrd.img is not available
in the operating system, get the latest update of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux Server or prepare driver disks for your network or disk controller.
Q: How to apply driver disks during operating system installation?
A: You can apply driver disks as follows:
- During operating system installation, after the first reboot,
attach the
driver-disk.iso file to the DVD-ROM
or virtual media.
- At the
grub prompt, press <a> followed
by <dd> and, then press <Enter>.
Q: Why DTK ELI (32–bit) does not successfully boot up a Dell
server running in UEFI mode?
A: On a Dell server running in UEFI mode, DTK supports only
64–bit ELI.
