| 04:25 eddie | is anyone around here that might be able assist me? |
| 04:42 juri_ | probably not? :) |
| 04:43 juri_ | i use fai-cd exclusively, so its likely that i don't know anything about what is going wrong with your configuration. :) |
| 04:45 eddie | juri_: okay great. |
| 04:45 eddie | will FIa work with most distro's |
| 04:46 eddie | most linux and unix distros |
| 04:46 eddie | I have a pxe server right that will fully install centos.... |
| 04:46 eddie | but i am have ahrd time with umm debian right now. |
| 04:51 eddie | juri_ |
| 04:51 eddie | ? |
| 05:05 juri_ | hmm. |
| 05:05 juri_ | 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 eddie | well i work a daacenter. |
| 05:10 eddie | i need to be able to auto install differnt os's |
| 05:10 eddie | at any given time |
| 05:27 juri_ | running multiple FAI servers may work for you then. you can always run them in seperate QEMU sessions. |
| Action: juri_ toddles homeward. |
| 05:27 eddie | well |
| 05:28 eddie | yes kinda |
| 05:28 eddie | what do you know PXeservers |
| 05:28 eddie | and kickstart scripts? |
| 05:28 juri_ | i'm only experienced with jumpstart, and FAI. FAI handles pxe installs, however. |
| 05:28 juri_ | i just use it from CD/DVD for reproducibility's sake. |
| Action: juri_ gone |

| 10:32 kamila | 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 kamila | of course i added the link to /etc/apt/sources.list |

| 11:44 glance | hmm.. bugs... |
| 11:49 glance | 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 glance | whith that combo the get-boot-info-code fails to set the variables IPADDR and co. |

| kamila (~kamila@gvb178.internetdsl.tpnet.pl) left irc: |
| 12:00 glance | i woud sugest to replace all of that code whith code that uses ifconfig to find out everything about each networkinterface |
| 12:07 Mrfai | 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 lazyb0y | moshen! |
| 12:15 glance | ah... i found the problem. |
| ErKa (~keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) joined #fai. |
| 12:18 glance | 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 glance | it specifies which interface and which server to mount nfsroot from. |
| 12:19 Mrfai | yeo, I see |
| 12:19 glance | that line does fai not recognise |
| 12:21 glance | 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 glance | is the infrastructure like fai-chboot updated allso to coop whith initramfs ? |
| 12:22 glance | right now i have done some quite ugly hacks to do the trck. |
| 12:22 glance | s,trck,trick, |
| 12:24 glance | 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 Mrfai | 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 Mrfai | glance: multi distribution is very interesting. |
| 12:26 Mrfai | glance: go and try FAI 3.2beta6. |
| 12:27 glance | hehe... my problem is that im currently living in Sydney and all my machines is back in sweden |
| 12:27 glance | i can promise you that the lag is not to play with =) |
| 12:32 glance | one quite intresting use of fai is using a hacked version of fai as customisation-script for nim/AIX |
| 12:33 lazyb0y | 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 lazyb0y | 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 |
