| markos_ | sadoon[m], how did you flash the bmc on the tyan? | 15:40 |
| markos_ | any link? | 15:40 |
| sadoon[m] | You go to the BMC interface and firmware update | 15:43 |
| sadoon[m] | I highly recommend not doing so though | 15:43 |
| sadoon[m] | It caused more problems than it fixed | 15:44 |
| sadoon[m] | Started bootlooping 3 times before starting normally | 15:44 |
| markos_ | hm ok | 15:49 |
| sadoon[m] | You could try and then roll back like I did | 15:49 |
| sadoon[m] | Could be my memory configuration is not supported on the newer firmware | 15:50 |
| sadoon[m] | Because it was throwing memory errors | 15:50 |
| sadoon[m] | Just make sure you have access to the BMC for reflashing | 15:50 |
| markos_ | well it's weird | 15:50 |
| markos_ | I can access serial, vga output works | 15:50 |
| markos_ | but no IP on BMC | 15:51 |
| sadoon[m] | It could be configured to use a static IP beforehand | 15:51 |
| markos_ | I will install an OS now using a usb serial | 15:51 |
| sadoon[m] | When you reach petitboot I beleive you can change this | 15:51 |
| sadoon[m] | Under system configuration | 15:51 |
| markos_ | good poing | 15:51 |
| sadoon[m] | Change it to either DHCP or a static ip available on your network | 15:51 |
| markos_ | no it's DHCP | 15:51 |
| sadoon[m] | Are you using the left-most ethernet NIC? | 15:52 |
| sadoon[m] | That's the one with BMC | 15:52 |
| sadoon[m] | The others don't work afaict | 15:52 |
| sadoon[m] | It's the one next to the USB ports | 15:52 |
| markos_ | there are 4 together, and one on its own | 15:52 |
| sadoon[m] | The one on its own :) | 15:53 |
| sadoon[m] | The 4 are 10G | 15:53 |
| markos_ | right | 15:53 |
| sadoon[m] | You might have to reset the BMC password somehow, I think ipmitool is also available in petitboot for that purpose | 15:53 |
| sadoon[m] | the ADMIN account is the one that works in my experience | 15:54 |
| sadoon[m] | Also updating the BMC firmware always resulted in an error with me | 15:54 |
| sadoon[m] | Tyan seems very inexperienced in producing POWER hardware | 15:55 |
| markos_ | another question, I can't get the usb stick with debian ppc64le iso to be detected | 15:55 |
| markos_ | anything special? | 15:55 |
| sadoon[m] | about what | 15:55 |
| markos_ | anything special that's needed to boot from usb stick? | 15:55 |
| sadoon[m] | Ah no, it's good old petitboot | 15:56 |
| markos_ | ie don't use the front usb port | 15:56 |
| sadoon[m] | The saving grace of this server :) | 15:56 |
| sadoon[m] | I can't imagine how more difficult it would be to use without petitboot | 15:56 |
| markos_ | this is weird, I can see the usb stick in dmesg and /proc/partitions | 15:57 |
| markos_ | but not in petitboot "rescan devices" | 15:57 |
| sadoon[m] | It can take a minute or so | 15:57 |
| sadoon[m] | What USB bootable is that specifically | 15:57 |
| sadoon[m] | Please don't say fedora or ubuntu :( | 15:58 |
| markos_ | just the debian iso dumped on the usb stick | 15:58 |
| sadoon[m] | Yeah that should work just fine, give it a minute mine takes about a minute to start booting | 15:58 |
| sadoon[m] | after it reaches petitboot | 15:58 |
| sadoon[m] | Also don't use the USB 2.0 slot, the manual says it's not connected | 15:58 |
| sadoon[m] | To be clear | 15:59 |
| sadoon[m] | I didn't install debian on the Tyan directly, I already had an image and dd'd that to the SSD | 16:00 |
| sadoon[m] | So if all else fails that won't | 16:00 |
| markos_ | no, I connected it to the front usb slot | 16:00 |
| markos_ | port | 16:00 |
| sadoon[m] | If it fails and you don't have access to a POWER machine lmk | 16:00 |
| sadoon[m] | I'll find a way to give you access to a VM or something and then you can download the .img and dd it | 16:01 |
| markos_ | yeah it's funny, I can see a boot entry because the disk was connected to an Arm server :D | 16:01 |
| sadoon[m] | It will 100% work that way | 16:01 |
| sadoon[m] | ah xD | 16:01 |
| sadoon[m] | We've all been there | 16:01 |
| sadoon[m] | Using it as a workstation or server btw? | 16:02 |
| markos_ | the plan is to use it as a server, a backup for my talos | 16:02 |
| sadoon[m] | Ah cool | 16:02 |
| markos_ | I have tons of x86, tons of arm hw, but only one power system | 16:02 |
| markos_ | if something happens to the talos, it's going to be a problem | 16:03 |
| markos_ | it might not be a p9, but it will be better than nothing | 16:03 |
| sadoon[m] | I have a weird issue with mine it's always sitting at 20-25% CPU usage and htop even with kernel processes showing can't figure it out | 16:03 |
| markos_ | nope, it doesn't see the usb stick | 16:04 |
| markos_ | weird | 16:04 |
| sadoon[m] | Yeah then your best bet is to image a bootable debian system | 16:04 |
| sadoon[m] | Just like the talos, it doesn't need a bootloader but it does need a grub configuration at /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 16:05 |
| sadoon[m] | Let me check to see if there's anything else I needed to get it running | 16:06 |
| sadoon[m] | Oh wow I even forgot to properly include my kernel boot options, silly | 16:07 |
| sadoon[m] | My /boot is on ext4, everything else is normal | 16:07 |
| markos_ | maybe it doesn't like debian 12?... | 16:08 |
| markos_ | I'll might try with debian 11 | 16:09 |
| sadoon[m] | Nah mine runs that | 16:09 |
| markos_ | no, I mean the installer | 16:09 |
| sadoon[m] | Could be | 16:09 |
| sadoon[m] | But you're better off imaging at this point :) | 16:09 |
| sadoon[m] | Much faster | 16:09 |
| markos_ | I'd have to get the disk out, and I'm lazy right now :) | 16:09 |
| markos_ | I just closed the lid after replacing the fans with the noctua ones | 16:10 |
| sadoon[m] | Wait | 16:10 |
| sadoon[m] | Where's the disk | 16:10 |
| sadoon[m] | O_O | 16:10 |
| markos_ | inside | 16:10 |
| markos_ | in the tray | 16:11 |
| sadoon[m] | But you don't need to open it to take the tray out | 16:11 |
| sadoon[m] | It's a sliding mechanism | 16:11 |
| markos_ | I know but I have to get to the back and it's a bit of a trouble right now :D | 16:11 |
| sadoon[m] | heheh | 16:11 |
| sadoon[m] | If you're really feeling lazy you can image it in petitboot ;) | 16:12 |
| sadoon[m] | rebooting mine, brb | 16:13 |

| sadoon[m] | Better than the 90% on my local server heheh | 16:21 |
| sadoon[m] | I have 3 10K Dell SAS 900GB drives in there I salvaged from the R530 :D | 16:22 |
| markos_ | no luck here, 11.7 iso also didn't work | 17:34 |
| markos_ | sth else is amiss here | 17:34 |
| programmerjake | if all else fails you can install debian powerpc in qemu on an x86 machine and copy the disk image or just directly use the ssd in the vm | 17:43 |

| ghostmansd[m] | Still not a every day you can see an email with subject "Get your shit together" | 17:45 |
| ghostmansd[m] | *an every | 17:45 |
| programmerjake | fun... | 17:45 |
| programmerjake | especially since musl is the libc used by rust when you want statically linked linux binaries (though they are working on a new port to linux that doesn't use any libc and just makes syscalls directly) | 17:48 |
| ghostmansd[m] | The real fun is that, even though musl cannot get their shit together, they are still way better in terms of code than glibc. | 17:56 |

| markos_ | ah lol, you replied on linkedin and I saw it because of your comment :) | 20:17 |
| markos_ | nevermind :) | 20:17 |
| markos_ | cool project though | 20:17 |
| markos_ | but this is not AI | 20:17 |
| markos_ | this pure monte-carlo | 20:17 |
| markos_ | this is the definition of a montecarlo simulation | 20:17 |
| markos_ | someone actually mentions that exactly in a comment | 20:18 |
| programmerjake | neat! | 20:19 |
| markos_ | indeed | 20:29 |
| markos_ | sadoon[m], I still think I'll take my chances with firmware upgrade, where can I find info on how to do it and the binaries? | 20:29 |
| markos_ | bmc was configured for static you were right, I used ipmitool to set it to dhcp and now at least I can access bmc over the web | 20:57 |
| markos_ | sad news, like you noctua fans don't work on this system, cpu temperature reaches about 99C | 21:03 |
| markos_ | I have to find another solution | 21:03 |
| sadoon[m] | Do my solution! :D | 21:35 |
| sadoon[m] | https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07ZP6KKKZ | 21:36 |
| sadoon[m] | I taped one of these in front of the CPU heatsink | 21:36 |
