I'm using MAAS, during the commissioning step, I have full error on the screen
timeout: killing /sbin/modprobe -bv pci
I investigated a little and apparently it's an acpi issue.
So I tried to change and add a parameter to this file /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default.
I added those options in the default
APPEND noacpi noapm pci=noacpi lba acpi=off apm=off
But each time I restart the maas-pserv run the commissioning procedure this file is re-regenerated.
How to overcome this?
Thanks!
EDIT1: I saw that in the cobbler logs
Thu May 3 15:27:56 2012 - INFO | generating GPXE/PXE configuration files
Thu May 3 15:27:56 2012 - WARNING | warning: kernel option length exceeds 255
Thu May 3 15:27:56 2012 - INFO | generating: /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-00-1d-09-f0-4b-c2
But generating configuration from which default file?
There is so many files in /etc/cobbler/pxe

You can't technically modify the PXE config file in/from MAAS. You have to manually edit it. Every time you add node to MAAS, a PXE config file will be created for one of the MAC Address of the node. In your case, and based on your logs, you would have to edit the following file:
And add
noacpi noapm pci=noacpi lba acpi=off apm=off
to the
append
line. It should look something like::Hope this helps!
