Troubleshooting: If after applying this patch the lcd shows 'IP Address not set' , there is a failure in the upgrade installation. This is because yum had installed newer kernels and the rpm software don't want to install the rpm included in this package.
1.- To repair it you need to boot the server with a terminal connected to the serial console port. When the message 'Press spacebar to enter ROM mode' appears, press the space bar.There is a mistake in the kernel config and RAID devices are not working... OK I will compile a new version soon as possible, I need for my new server!!!!!!! Sorry guys.
2.- Once in the ROM menu type 'bfd /boot/vmlinux_old_002.bz2'. This command forces to boot from the old kernel.
3.- Login to the server as root.
4.- # cd /boot
5.- # rpm -i --force http://www.titox-net.es/downloads/cobalt/BlueQuartz/kernel/linux-2.6.9-89.0.20-cobalt/kernel-2.6.9-89.0.20_cobalt.i386.rpm
6.- # ln -s vmlinux-2.6.9-89.0.20.EL-cobalt.bz2 vmlinux.bz2
7.- # reboot

Well... I compiled the latest CentOS 4 kernel for my machines. This kernel stays in version 2.6.9, but has a lot of patches on it, release 89-0.20. I started with a patch extracted from the Strongbolt 2.6.9-18 source of OSOffice, but it doesn't work well, then I modified the kernel 2.6.12 patch from Jeff Walter's with success. There is some faults with the shutdown in the RaQ 550 -like other kernels- but seems to work faster. I will work on this problems in a future release.
[admin@cobalt ~]$ uname -a
Linux cobalt.titox-net.es 2.6.9-89.0.20.EL-cobalt #13 SMP Mon Feb 15 23:15:01 CET 2010 i586 i586 i386 GNU/Linux
[admin@cobalt ~]$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.9-89.0.20.EL-cobalt (root@sbdevel.titox-net.es) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-11)) #13 SMP Mon Feb 15 23:15:01 CET 2010
This kernel has this features:
- Compiled for i586 architechture, compatible with the i686 architechture you can find on RaQ XTR and RaQ 550.
- Drivers for VIA, SIS and Silicon Image SATA chipsets, to use as storage expansion or use the server as NAS but I don't have time to test yet. Compiled as modules.
- Drivers for ethernet gigabit cards: Intel PRO/1000, Realtek 8169, Broadcom Tigon3 and Broadcom NetXtremeII. Compiled as modules.
- Cobalt GenIII and GenV drivers included: the same kernel works on all Cobalt machines. Only tested in Cobalt RaQ 3&4 and RaQ 550. My Qube 3 has SB2 installed and I don't have any XTR (but if I can find one...).
- SMP for two processors, not tested: usefull for RaQ XTR with two Pentium III.
Finally, The last weekend I finished the BlueQuartz package, now I can install the new kernel from the BlueQuartz GUI. This package is uninstallable but, in fact, the rpm software doesn't can remove everything because dependencies problems. The uninstallation script will restore the backed up vmlinux.bz2 if you uninstall this package.
Ok, if you want to test this kernel, the download is here. Use the package RaQ-Kernel-Titox-1.0.3.pkg, the other ones have some faults in the kernel or package scripts. In that directory you will find the package, the patched kernel source, the patch and a rpm package to install the new kernel in a system without BlueQuartz. There is a text file explaining all other packages. OBVIOUSLY: USE THIS KERNEL AT YOUR OWN RISK. NO GUARANTEE
This is the boot log from a RaQ 4 console:

Hi
Why do you use bluequartz ... you can install SB1 without bluequartz, update to centos 5.4 and install Blueonyx ... better than bluequartz / strongbolt (instead of the kernel) / Rakstar and rackdevil ...
Yes. I know this upgrade to CentOS 5.4 but I have enough with Bluequartz at the moment. I tested BlueOnyx in my LX50 and I'm happy with it also.
My main interest is to install BlueOnyx in SATA disks for my Cobalt machines. For this installation the SB2 ROM will be necessary. The plan is to install BlueOnyx in a PC and then install a new kernel compiled in CentOS 5.
I have my workstation with CentOS 5.4 installed and I started to move the my patch to its kernel 2.6.18 (OSOffice never released his source), but I don't have enough time now.
Maybe when my NAS tests with the V120 are completed....
Yes that's right OSoffice did'nt produce it and it's really sad ... there is juste the 2.6.18 on sourceforge but he does'nt accept sata and USB installation and some pci cards.
I have seen your nas : great project too !!! I love it !!! but the goal for instance for me it's to find a way to first install a RAQ XTR with one drive and to expand it in raid5 with 4 drives ... and also that the leds works on the front of the machine ... (and also try to make it works with 2 x 1.4Ghz CPU with 4Go of sdram ECC)
Uhmm,yeah!! the RaQ XTR is one of my favourite machine. There is a cheap one in eBay now...
With the Addonics IDE to SATA adater an 4 1.5 or 2 GB hd's it's a killer as NAS!!!!!
I tried a non branded IDE to SATA adapter in RaQ 550 without success. Maybe I will try this: http://www.buy.com/prod/addonics-adsaide-storage-controller-sata-150-ultra-ata-133/q/loc/101/10374161.html
There is a comment post saying it works in XTR.
Yup I saw it :p perhaps I try to grab it but it's 850Mhz cpu ...
Hi Titox,
Very nice blog !!
Also, I'm wondering if it's possible to put a CentOS 5.4 directly on Cobalt RaQ through PXE/NFS ?
Do you know if it's possible ?
I don't know, but I think the answer is no...
We need a new patch for the CentOS 5.4 kernel and a modified installer disc. I want to move my patch to the CentOS 5.4 kernel (with BlueOnyx) but I don't have enough time at the moment -and maybe my knowledge here will be not enough-.
I think the easier solution must be to install BlueOnyx (or CentOS 5 alone) in a standard PC and then install the necessary Cobalt packages before to move the hard disk to the Cobalt server.
Ok, thank you for your advice. I'll try by this way.
I'll keep an eye on your blog, it's very interesting. :)
OK. Thank you for your comments!!!!
Is it possible to also correct the led problem of the raq XTR with your kernel ??? It's just a question cause I won the raq XTR on ebay :p
I don't know. I nerver have seen a XTR server. And... What led is bad?
the front led aren't blinking as on the 550, it certainly a mess inside the rom :p
Ups. I think the leds of the XTR work like the RaQ 550 ones. Must be a hardware fault. The kerbouard is working? Maybe the cable?
Nope it's not a material problem at all, it's the same for all the XTR (I have two and it's explained on the strongbolt forum). But the XTR is not compatible for strongbolt2 ... The rom is only the cause of it.
Oh, yes. The newer kenels have problems with the XTR hardware. SB2 is usign 2.6.18 and the hd controler driver doesn't work. Well the hot swap controller doesn't work.
Yes. I did a serach in the osoffice forums and I saw the problem. Nobody found any solution.
Dave Studeman from raqcop.com is using XTR's as file server. Maybe he knows any solution.
titox do you know of any how-to's or steps explaining install of blueonyx on a raq4? The instructions at:
http://www.mr-webcam.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=20
work ok for a raq550 but not on my raq4.
I never tried BlueOnyx on my RaQ... still using Strongbolt. But there is another guide from a company that uses RaQ 3/4 and 550. Maybe this link can help you:
http://www.openskill.lu/?p=269
ok thanks for your response, I'll check out the link. Strongbolt is dying (dead?) this is why I'm trying to upgrade to blueonyx.
Hi I like the Idea of going to bluequartz myself but a haddrive image that could be installed to a drive would be nice to find the partition resizing wouldnt be a problem from a base size for 20 or 30 gig drive. anyone out there have an image to make things quicker?
