Ok, what's the right cmd to get both? Do I have to start from scratch?
No need to start from scratch. First, figure out the name of the remote. $ git remote show It will most likely return just one entry, and it's probably named origin. If it's something other than origin, then just substitute in the following commands: $ git fetch origin $ git reset --hard origin/master $ git fetch http://gerrit.ovirt.org/p/ovirt-node refs/changes/07/1807/1 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD $ git fetch http://gerrit.ovirt.org/p/ovirt-node refs/changes/08/1808/1 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD $ git status # should show something like: # On branch master # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 2 commits. Now you should be good to build. Mike

Mike, I think I got a glimpse of the error message - something like "persistent storage not available" after I tried to login with the new passwd. Does this make sense?
Try this patch with the other one I just sent:

Hi Mike,
I ran into the login/pwd problem again with this new build. Kernel option adminpw worked but only for a short time. I was asked to change pwd immediately after login but then rejected again after I did
There was an short-lived error message on the screen but I wasn't able to capture it.
You can try booting with "BOOTIF=eth0 ssh_pwauth=1" in the command
This will configure networking and enable SSH password authentication. Then you can ssh admin@<your host> and it will show you the error.
I tried the latest from archipel source and it worked without password issue. I pulled it from:
I'm using git://github.com/primalmotion/Node.git
The only differences I see between the 2 are some minor formatting and conditional changes in recipe/Makefile.am and a couple patches that were pushed since the github repo was updated. These patches are all on the gerrit.ovirt.org side.
Note: there is an incompatible change that was merged into master this morning. I'm working on a rebase of the archipel stuff now to include it.
Mike
There might be a few updates right after you pulled it last time.
Would you mind merge the new updates into ovirt node again?
Thanks.
David
