[Bug]Cannot install 'panic: invalid dimensions' #1792

Open NosIreland opened 2 years ago

NosIreland commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug Cannot install Harvester 1.0.0. Getting 'panic: invalid dimensions' after entering hostname and hitting enter

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Boot from ISO
Start install
'Choose installation mode', Create new cluster or join existing
Select disk(MBR setting does not make difference)
Enter hostname and press enter or without entering hostname press arrow down key.
A quick message appears and disappears and it is back to 'Choose installation mode'

Expected behavior After entering hostname I should be able to select management NIC

Support bundle

Cannot get any logs as it does not start install

Environment:

Harvester ISO version: 1.0.0
Underlying Infrastructure (e.g. Baremetal with Dell PowerEdge R630): Baremetal

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

The display area might be too small. Does the console resolution look normal? These steps might help:

Add nomodeset kernel parameter: https://docs.harvesterhci.io/v1.0/install/usb-install/#graphics-issue
Manually specify the VGA mode in the kernel parameters. vga=791 will be a good start, for all modes please check: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers

Thanks. It looks like it does not like nvidia cards. Got it installed.

I also have this issue. Attempting to install on a Dell Precision T7600. Tried with a NVIDIA Quadro 4000.

Display appears to be 1920x1080.

@datallboy I ran into this issue on a Dell Precision T7500, did this suggestion help?

tlehman commented 2 years ago

on a Dell Precision T7500, I just tried adding nomodeset vga=791 and it didn't panic because of invalid dimensions

I have this problem installing on Harvester v1.1.0, what is interesting is that Harvester v1.0.3 works just fine. I am using a MinisForum EliteMini HX90 which has an AMD Ryzen 9 with integrated Radeon graphics.

This is still an issue when working with serial console (SOL) alone:

2023/05/31 14:16:13 invalid dimensions
panic: invalid dimensions

goroutine 1 [running]:
log.Panicln({0xc00041ff60?, 0x0?, 0x0?})
    /usr/local/go/src/log/log.go:399 +0x65
main.main()
    /go/src/github.com/harvester/harvester-installer/main.go:11 +0x46

and I have nomodeset in the args for the command line:

rancher:~ # cat /proc/cmdline
kernel.xz initrd=rootfs.xz root=live:http://.../install/suse/harvester/1.1.2/iso/rootfs.squashfs nomodeset rd.live.image rd.cos.disable rd.noverifyssl net.ifnames=1 ip=dhcp BOOTIF=01-1c-34-da-7f-b5-3a console=ttyS1,115200n8 harvester.install.automatic=false

@db-at-work Please see if https://github.com/harvester/harvester/issues/2708#issuecomment-1244965316 help. The serial console default dimension is too slow.

I got the same issue trying to install Harvester v1.2.1 on DELL Precision 5820. nomodeset vga=791 fixed the issue.
