Stuck during bootstrapping while doing rfs downloads #2249

Open scottyeager opened 5 months ago

Farmer reports that occasionally during boot, a node gets stuck during the bootstrap phase with this on screen:

Could be a networking issue, I suppose, but I would expect to see some error in any case where rfs is giving up. Seems to happen in a random fashion among nodes in the same farm.

When you say "getting stuck" so the screen is frozen on this view? Is the node still responding to keyboard (for example try switching to Alt+f1, Alt+f2) see if it's responding

I am pretty sure u should see errors if rfs is failing to connect.

Yes, the node gets frozen at this point. I didn't think the alt combos would have any effect at this early stage. Will ask the farmer to check.

muhamadazmy commented 5 months ago

The combos for Alt+f1 and Alt+f2 should be working. It's the f3 that is only available later. Anyway, this is mainly to see if only the bootstrapping is stuck, or the system/kernel itself.

If these combos don't work then this can be either:

kernel itself is stuck
GPU has been taken over, it might be a good idea to start the node with disable-gpu kernel argument.
