OMV 4 problems after install

  • Hi,


    after strarting installation directly from the installation media did not succedd (see thread "Graphics issue when starting install"), I followed the recommended practice:

    • install intended system drive in anoither computer
    • perform initial install until 1st reboot (worked perfectly)
    • re-install the prepared system drive into the NAS box

    While this generally worked and resulted in a "somehow" useable system, I faced several problems, which I were not able to solve all, so any help is appreciated..

    • Network interface name mismatch, so no network available - solved by manual correction eth0 => eno1
    • Missing firmware "kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin" - solved my manual installation
    • always 4 "machiche check events" upon boot, but system is stable ... see below
    • systemd timeout because system harddisk does not become available - but afterwards the disk including all partitions is ok, but timeout is 1min 30 seconds ... see below
    • boot ends up in "emergency mode" (I assume the result of the above issues 3. and 4.), but if I continue with CTRL-D I end up in an useable system, e.g. webgui working, ...

    Concerning the machine check exeptions, this is what the system log reads bootlog.txt:

    As explained, the messages always appear at the same point on booting and the system runs stable, so I guess that these are no random HW failures ? Can they be ignored ?


    Concerning the non-available harddisk, the system log reads bootlog.txt:

    Additional info:

    • systemctrl --type device shows no failing unit, also for all partitions on the system drive (sda1,sda2,sda3) systemctrl-device.txt
    • systemd-analyze blame shows 1min 30.397s dev-sda2.device, the other times to init are absolutely acceptable systemd-analyze_blame.txt.

    As said, the boot stops in "emergency mode", from which I can continue with CTRL-D which results in an overall running system.


    The system is based on a Pentium Gold G5420T ("Coffe Lake") on a Fujitsu D3641-S mainboard, 8G ECC. Maybe that is too new for the underlying Debian "Stretch" ?
    I will continue by checking if a plain Debian "Stretch" install succeeds, but any comments or help is highly apprechiated.

    Well, this seems to be the case.
    Just after creating the thread, I relized that OMV 5.0.5 is out, albeit still being a beta (though not indicated as one), so I gave it a try. Result:

    • direct booting from installation media worked (no graphical issues)
    • installation w/o problems
    • at boot, I still have those machine check exceptions - at the same point of time
    • no missing firmware
    • no hard disk timeouts, very quick booting

    Well, so this solves a lot. However, still beta, and all those extra-addons like zfs won't work ?

    zfs is ported. You can see status of porting at these two links.

    Yeap, thanks for the info. However, just trying a plain installation by installing omv-extras and then just selecting the zfs-plugin from the GUI failed, so I think I need to dig in it somewhat deeper; but that is out-of-scope of this thread.

    The plugin can't fix this. zfs-dkms builds the zfs module and depends on linux-headers. But apt installs the headers after zfs-dkms sometimes causing the module compiling to fail. The following should fix it.


    apt-get -f install (might fail but that is ok because it should finish compiling the zfs module)
    modprobe zfs (load the zfs module so the other zfs packages can finish installing)
    apt-get -f install


    -or-


    You can install the proxmox kernel from the omv-extras kernel tab which eliminates the need to build the zfs module. This will also use the newer 0.8.1 version of zfs that includes encryption.

    :thumbup: Thanx, that did it. :D . Just spent a like...
    Didn't try proxmox yet ... it is 4.15, while I currently have 4.19 (with OMV 5.05) which is long-term maintenance. However lets see when I've got some time I might test that.

    The proxmox kernel on OMV 5.x is 5.0 (from proxmox 6.x).
