[18:52] Hello everyone [18:52] we're migrating away from mandriva, and are looking at FAI as a more efficient way to do so [18:53] however we have both 32bit and 64bit systems in our evironment [18:53] I'd prefer use a 32bit box as the FAI install server, however I'm wondering if it will be capable of doing the installs on 64 bit systems [18:56] negative. nfsroot creation requires use of a 64bit machine. [18:57] you can copy a nfsroot from a 64bit machine to the 32bit one... [18:57] I can? [18:57] personally, if it were me, i'd concider using qemu to generate your 64bit image. it will be dead-slow on a 32bit box, but it'd function. [18:57] hmmm [18:58] so the install server doesn't actually run anything from the NFS root, it's just there as the template? [18:59] having a 64bit nfsroot on a 32bit machine works, but it's really no fun. you can't chroot into the nfsroot and check things, for example [18:59] if you have a 64bit machine, my advice is definitely to use that as the server for 32 and 64 [19:00] yea good point [19:02] if I use boot CDs for the 64bit system would it get around this? [19:02] systems that is [19:04] never used boot cds [19:18] ok, great, thanks guys [19:18] Action: tek-ops heads back to the lab [19:18] tek-ops (~mschenck@x4034fd73.ip.e-nt.net) left irc: Quit: Leaving [19:20] hmm, didn't have qemu even some emulation layer to execute single binaries of another architecture? [19:21] couldn't that probably used to chroot into another arch's nfsroot (or even creating one, by running the other arch's debootstrap? [19:21] Action: lazyb0y doesn't have 64 bit to try... [19:26] hmm, there is something like that: qemu-user in the qemu package. but not clear how it's really supposed to work... [19:28] hm. jetzt haengt sich fsck an den UUID= eintraegen in /etc/fstab auf. super. [19:43] meandtheshell (~markus@85.127.102.3) left irc: Quit: Leaving.
