Fails to boot host on palmetto

[shenki]

I'm running the latest pnor and openbmc builds:

OpenBMC: df37619
PNOR: open-power/op-build@da2732d

OpenBMC boots fine. I then run the following to start the host:

root@palmetto:~# obmcutil poweron
 = None

And nothing happens on the host serial port.

root@palmetto:~# obmcutil power  
pgood = 1
state = 1
pgood_timeout = 10

Power on is failing because the Throttle gpio was added only to Barreleye and not Palmetto. This is now fixed in openbmc commit 23ffc6d. Just need to refresh your openbmc repo and rebuild the image.

root@palmetto:# obmcutil poweron
= None
root@palmetto:# journalctl --follow

Thanks for the quick response @anoo1.

I updated to 23ffc6d (Build 35 https://openpower.xyz/job/openbmc-build/35/distro=ubuntu,target=palmetto/) and I still cannot boot my host. Are you able to test the image that our build system has produced?

We've narrowed down the issue to the op-build master-next image. It doesn't boot on palmetto with openbmc. But the op-build master image (most recent is from oct 2015) boots ok with the latest openbmc. Working with hostboot team to identify what change that was dropped between oct and now that may be causing the issue.

Even I tried booting up the machine in one of the palmetto with build 42 - https://openpower.xyz/job/openbmc-build/distro=ubuntu,target=palmetto/42/ but couldn't boot up and seen following messages in journalctl --follow command:

@williamspatrick , this is the issue that hostboot team is asking if you could help.

The issue is not seeing anymore now that openbmc added vuart support. I'll open a hostboot issue so they can follow-up for systems that do not have vuart and use hw instead.
