ERST: Failed to get Error Log Address
I posted on WHT with no luck. Maybe someone here might have an idea.
I've been unable to install CentOS 6.6 and 6.7 (5 and 7 work, though) on any of our servers*. We keep getting this error: ERST: Failed to get Error Log Address.
I tried the advice on SuperMicro's website. No luck. If anyone has any ideas or experience, I'd greatly appreciate some help. Firmware is the latest for all mobos.
During installation, the node will ping. However, once installation completes, all bets are off.
- SuperMicro X8S and Dell R210 II servers. I have not confirmed on our E3-1230 v2 servers yet.

No idea. Maybe time to renew?
What license are you referring to?
I found this here, does it help?
Any that you let expire on purpose in order to discipline yourself, I presume.
Thanks for the help.
I attempted both fixed, neither worked. This is also not just on our SuperMicro servers, it's on our Dell R210 IIs (broadcom NICs).
It's good that you finally admit you need help. It's the first step.
I'm glad that the site has such a great administrator.
Is this the error i managed to get to break the server?
Me too.
If you'd just put half the effort I put into this site into BoltVM, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
C'mon give it a rest. I know he fucked up but you must have in your life. I know I've made mistakes so have all of us. He fixed it didn't he? I'm sure you wouldn't like it if people brought up your mistakes in every thread. Just give it a rest, please and this wasn't a rant at you one I've been wanting to address to LET for sometime.
Oh come on, be real.
He only fixed it when he felt like it (in other words, when the attack stopped) and failed to inform his customers for quite some days. On top of that, he admitted that he let his WHMCS license expire on purpose in order to remind him to keep working on his own panel. Never mind putting up a maintenance notice or static page. A database error is a good message to clients, supposedly.
That follows a pattern on laziness which we've seen before; one that's been discussed and which he told me we wouldn't be seeing anymore.
@mpkossen I agree, I know he has done wrong and yes he should have done xyz. That wasn't the point of what I wrote at all. Mine was we all make mistakes and its human. The second one I was hoping would be taken more than the first was that what you don't like don't do. I agree my little escaped with CC and LEB was wrong but you don't want me bringing that up what 1,2.3,4 months down the line. That's what I was trying to say
Sure. But most people learn from their mistakes, which is something Steven doesn't seem to do (yet). And given it shows a pattern, it's still relevant.
I wouldn't drag people through the mud because they've made a mistake and learned from it, because I applaud that. I only do when they don't learn from their mistakes.
@mpkossen perfect. Then let's let Steve fix the server I broke :P
Have you tried a different ISO?
Yes, I've tried 6.7 and 6.6 from different mirrors.
What is motherboard model?
One is a SM X8S something. The other is a Broadcom motherboard. I'm on the road, so I don't have the exacts.
Whats happening over iDRAC/KVM (if you have them) ?
No IDRAC. I have to purchase the express and enterprise add ons, which I'm debating.
X8SIE-F ?
Sounds right. I'm pretty sure that's it.
Try install Centos 5. eth0 will keep failing with Centos 6.
5 does work, as does 7. The problem is 6.
The warning message you included in the first post has nothing to do with your issue.
You should probably hire an admin who has more experience to help you.
There is an issue with this motherboard and newer Centos but one of my staff fix it not sure how. i will ask him and let you know.
If you then monitor the server through the KVM, does it boot?
It boots, but the networking doesn't work.
@Steven_F - what about the NICs what are they?
What is the output of
lspci -v
and
lsmod
You can PM me if you prefer.
i guess you need to recompile the nic driver
