Zapraszam na #polska_). [20:07] moment. [20:07] there's one strange thing. [20:07] I remember that in the files I have no mentioning of UDP. [20:08] but the booting system somehow has an nfs mount via UDP, with wierd options. [20:08] how come this can happen ? [20:08] tcp for NFS mounts is better [20:08] sobersabre: gbit LAN? [20:08] check your tftpd logs to find out which file it used for booting [20:08] Mrfai, it's a mix of 100 and 1000 links. [20:09] gbit/100mbit won't work properly for NFS-over-udp [20:09] this leaves not many choices but to use TCP. [20:09] gbit LAN and NFS over UDP may cause problems [20:09] :-) [20:09] it cause. [20:09] MT: 100mbit is fine, gbit can cause problems [20:10] anyway, I wonder WHY I have seen udp [20:10] anyway. [20:10] strangeness continues: [20:10] uptime: [20:10] but mixing them hardly works at all [20:10] 23:01:51 up 5:53, 1 user, load average: 1.00, 0.97, 0.91 [20:10] something is definetely fishy. [20:10] is it maybe still pulling base.tgz? [20:11] /dev/root on / type nfs (rw,vers=2,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,hard,nolock,proto=udp,timeo=11,retrans=2,sec=sys,addr=132.68.206.225) [20:11] WHY udp ?!?! [20:11] I don't understand this. [20:11] cat /proc/cmdline ?

[20:14] for some reason there are 4 machines with this above line. [20:14] but the rest ( normal ) are: [20:14] vmlinuz-install ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot,v3,tcp,intr FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install [20:15] as you can see, tcp, intr and v3 are specifically put. [20:15] hm. [20:15] I hate gremlins. [20:15] At least I know there are some. [20:15] are you damn sure it has found an appropriate config file [20:16] some versions of fai-chboot set tcp and v3, the newer version does not need it any more, since newer kernel and kernel with initrd automatically uses v3 and tcp [20:16] (and did not use some default config) [20:16] I user fai-chboot -I for the rest. [20:16] s/user/used/ [20:16] wierdo one. [20:17] what does "boot=live" mean ? [20:17] I remember removing it for some reason. [20:18] that's required for live-initramfs [20:18] assuming you are consistently using FAI >= 3.2 [20:19] (including an NFSROOT generated by FAI >= 3.2) [20:19] I am using fai-kernels 1.17, and the rest is 3.2.1 [20:19] NFSROOT generated with 3.2.1 [20:20] FAI 3.2.1 doesn't really like fai-kernels anymore I think [20:20] you should be using a standard kernel [20:20] hm... [20:20] shall I remove the package ? [20:20] hmm, no idea, Mrfai? [20:21] how can I point fai to use standard kernel ? [20:21] shall I remove and run fai-setup ? [20:21] It will do so by default [20:21] if you have FAI 3.2.1 on your install server, you will only need to rebuild your nfsroot (fai-setup) which also copies the plain kernel with initrd to your tftp directory [20:21] ok. [20:21] make-fai-nfsroot will do [20:22] right make-fai-nfsroot will copy the kernel and initrd [20:22] ok. I will try this. hoping for the best. [20:22] save your old nfsroot [20:22] before doing this [20:22] and use -v [20:24] ok. [20:24] I have no sentiments for the old nfsroot though.

[22:00] sobersabre: could you do chroot /srv/fai/nfsroot dpkg --print-installation-architecture [22:00] please [22:00] I will moment.

[22:01] sobersabre: /etc/fai/NFSROOT should already contain the name of the linux-image package [22:02] well, somehow it doesn't [22:02] use the original /etc/fai/NFSROOT from the package. [22:02] maybe I shall rerun fai-setup ? [22:02] no [22:02] I think do did an upgrade from FAI 3.1 to 3.2 and did not use the new /etc/fai/NFSROOT. [22:02] you are still usingthe old version of NFSROOT [22:03] sobersabre, would you mind pasting /etc/fai/NFSROOT ? [22:03] hmm... talent. that's what I call talent [22:03] Mrfai, you're correct, as usual. [22:03] shall I simply replace with stock NFSROOT ? [22:04] didn't the upgrade asked you which version to use? [22:04] I am usually conservative about this :) [22:04] 1st time I get it on the bad side [22:04] ok, that was your fault. [22:04] yes just use the stock new one [22:04] I have never blamed anyone esle, except gremlins. [22:04] :) [22:04] did you do any changes to the old NFSROOT file? [22:05] -> you might want to merge them [22:05] but most probably the stock version is just fine [22:05] now I tried to do, I will now replace. but I want 686 kernel. [22:05] not 486 [22:05] any advantage to 486 ? [22:05] I have no 486 machines. [22:06] you do not need 686 kernel during installtion. [22:06] this is the kernel for installtion only. You may ewant to adjust /srv/fai/config/package_config/... [22:06] there you define the kernel for your new system [22:06] this I have done already. [22:07] sobersabre: I hope to get the FAI questionnaire from you after you've installed with your new FAI version. [22:07] anyway, the annotying thing: [22:08] make-fai-nfsroot -v 2>&1 > output.txt [22:08] and it still somehow prints something on stdout [22:08] I think you should do make-fai-nfsroot -v > output.txt 2>&1 [22:08] shall I ( make-fai-nfsroot -v ) 2>&1 > output.txt ? [22:08] hmm.. [22:09] I guess you're right. but ... why doesn't the other way work ? the effect seems to be the same... ( to me ) [22:10] I mean seems to have been supposedly [22:10] sobersabre: that's shell magic [22:10] I wrote a shell that didn't mind that. [22:10] :) [22:10] I remember discussing this with the partner... [22:10] convincing him: "but bash already works like that!" [22:11] Note that the order of redirections is significant. For example, the [22:11] command [22:11] ls > dirlist 2>&1 [22:11] directs both standard output and standard error to the file dirlist, [22:11] while the command [22:11] ls 2>&1 > dirlist [22:11] directs only the standard output to file dirlist, because the standard [22:11] error was duplicated as standard output before the standard output was [22:11] redirected to dirlist. [22:11] man bash [22:12] yep [22:14] MT: http://paste.debian.net/41742 my old NFSROOT [22:15] hmm, I think you had added (at least) subversion-tools build-essential [22:15] tru [22:15] but that was before I've added that to classes. [22:16] the results: [22:16] dpkg --print-installation-architecture [22:16] i386 [22:16] after chroot to /srv/fai/nfsroot [22:17] ok, I guess that's all fine once you use the new NFSROOT file [22:18] running now. [22:18] will see what's going on then. [22:32] which key is used to sign fai packages ? [22:33] my key: AB9B66FD [22:33] why? [22:34] I think I don't have it... checking.

[22:45] can somebody look at this ? [22:45] ah, that one is well known [22:45] mom [22:45] moment then. [22:46] you need to update make-fai-nfsroot.conf as well [22:46] you are missing the TFTPROOT variable [22:47] ok [22:47] I know it's value though [22:47] :) [22:47] Thanks!!! [22:50] Danke sch?n.

[22:51] otherwise make-fai-nfsroot wouldn't know how to call debootstrap [22:51] then feel free to put the local mirror there [22:51] (I think) [22:51] I'll do that.
