[04:42] probably not? :) [04:43] i use fai-cd exclusively, so its likely that i don't know anything about what is going wrong with your configuration. :) [04:45] juri_: okay great. [04:45] will FIa work with most distro's [04:46] most linux and unix distros [04:46] I have a pxe server right that will fully install centos.... [04:46] but i am have ahrd time with umm debian right now. [04:51] juri_ [04:51] ? [05:05] hmm. [05:05] fai has been ported to many distros, but i'm pretty sure each person just uses it with one distro at a time. [05:09] well i work a daacenter. [05:10] i need to be able to auto install differnt os's [05:10] at any given time [05:27] running multiple FAI servers may work for you then. you can always run them in seperate QEMU sessions. [05:27] Action: juri_ toddles homeward. [05:27] well [05:28] yes kinda [05:28] what do you know PXeservers [05:28] and kickstart scripts? [05:28] i'm only experienced with jumpstart, and FAI. FAI handles pxe installs, however. [05:28] i just use it from CD/DVD for reproducibility's sake.

[10:32] Hi, if somebody could give me some advices, how to install "fai-server" on Debian 4.0 Etch. #aptitude install fai-quickstart answers, that it was not possible to execute the stat operation on source packets list on www.informatik.uni-koeln.de [10:33] of course i added the link to /etc/apt/sources.list [10:34] kamila (~kamila@gvb178.internetdsl.tpnet.pl) left irc: Quit: Leaving [10:34] kamila (~kamila@gvb178.internetdsl.tpnet.pl) joined #fai.

[11:49] i have started to use the klibc-utils ifconfig dhcp-ability instead of the kernels dhcp klient to be able to use a stock kernel and initramfs as netboot-kernel [11:51] whith that combo the get-boot-info-code fails to set the variables IPADDR and co. [11:58] kamila (~kamila@gvb178.internetdsl.tpnet.pl) joined #fai. [11:58] kamila (~kamila@gvb178.internetdsl.tpnet.pl) left irc: [12:00] i woud sugest to replace all of that code whith code that uses ifconfig to find out everything about each networkinterface [12:07] glance: have a look at FAI 3.2beta6. This also uses a plain Debian kernel with initramfs. Available from http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/developers/ [12:13] moshen! [12:15] ah... i found the problem. [12:15] ErKa (~keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) joined #fai. [12:18] the problem inherits from hat i uses xen . Xen has some infrastructure to create kernelparameters from configfile and it creates a ip= line that look like ip=:217.75.98.38::::eth0:dhcp [12:19] it specifies which interface and which server to mount nfsroot from. [12:19] yeo, I see [12:19] that line does fai not recognise [12:21] i have bin playingaround whith netbooting linux with inintramfs for some time but its just in later klibc-utils it have become usable. [12:21] is the infrastructure like fai-chboot updated allso to coop whith initramfs ? [12:22] right now i have done some quite ugly hacks to do the trck. [12:22] s,trck,trick, [12:24] i allso have some tricks to coop with using one installserver to install many diffrent dists/releases/arches that needs some cleanup, but then i think it woud be some usable patches. [12:25] currently fai-chboot does not handle the inird parameter, but this can be done using a template for fai-chboot. inird supprt will be added to fai-chboot later [12:25] glance: multi distribution is very interesting. [12:26] glance: go and try FAI 3.2beta6. [12:27] hehe... my problem is that im currently living in Sydney and all my machines is back in sweden [12:27] i can promise you that the lag is not to play with =) [12:32] one quite intresting use of fai is using a hacked version of fai as customisation-script for nim/AIX [12:33] glance: would be cool of you tell us some things you missed for multi-distribution support! I did not work with multi-arch, but for multi-distribution I thought most of what is needed is already in FAI sinc3 version 3.x [12:34] The only thing I know is missing from main FAI is scripts for building the base images for other distris. I only have some of them for other debian distributions in teh fai-distributions package in subversion [12:35] ErKa (~keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [12:35] glance: very intersting.
