[13:35] Mrfai: my nfs server is not my dhcp server and I don't have any control on the dhcp server [13:36] istaz_: ok, then it's ok to add the IP address to nfsroot [13:37] what is the rw option for btw? [13:38] rw means mount the root read-write. But IIRC I do not use it. [13:38] and why did you create the directory live/filesystem.dir instead of directly using directly the nfsroot like before? [13:39] (I had to modify thing in the make-fai-bootfloppy so I could use it before) [13:40] istaz_: it's because of live-initramfs. [13:42] istaz_: using nfsroot=ip_of_server:/srv/fai/nfsroot works here for me. [13:42] I justtested it again [13:44] yes it work now, I made a mistake before [13:44] but I'm stuck further [13:45] Action: istaz_ is happy to see he is making progress [13:46] were are you stuck now? [13:46] in a busybox shell [13:46] it look like it want to use thing in /root but they are mounter in /root/live/image [13:46] *the nfsroot is mounted in /root/live/image [13:47] and he try to access /root/var/log instead of /root/live/image/var/log [13:52] followed by several similar-look error [13:53] and finishing by a nice : Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init [13:53] istaz_: does this shell has (initramfs) as prompt? [13:54] Mrfai: yes [13:55] your nfsroot parameter should include /srv/fai/nfsroot. Above you said you have /fai/nfsroot. Please check again [13:56] Mrfai: on my nfs server the nfsroot is in /fai/nfsroot [13:56] ok. [13:57] itais (~itais@62.81.119.138.static.user.ono.com) left irc: Quit: See you [13:58] rhaa [13:59] they have rebooted the server in the dapper version without noticing me [13:59] did you modify your nfsroot by removing .../live/filesystem.dir? [13:59] non [13:59] *no [13:59] good. [13:59] wait I'm gonna see if I can reboot the server under gutsy [14:00] use find / |grep live.log to see if you have a live.log file there. Would be nice to read it, maybe paste it [14:05] Mrfai: I have one [14:05] I try again with the good nfsserver and I will try to send it to you [14:09] use paste.debian.net [14:13] ok now with the right nfsserver I have the unionfs error [14:13] the same as this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22/+bug/150788/comments/9 [14:14] so I guess I will need a feisty nfsroot like you said [14:15] yep. I do not know another workaround for gutsy yet. Or is aufs (another unionfs) already available in gutsy? live-initramfs has support for it [14:20] there is a unionfs-source package but I don't know if it is compiled in the kernel [14:21] AFAIK unionfs does not work with the gutsy kernel at all, so a source package will not help you. [14:21] Read this: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/livecd-unionfs-alternatives [14:22] sorry I meant there is a aufs-source package [14:25] give it a try [14:25] how? [14:26] it say the aufs nfs support is stil in developement [14:27] Mmm. So you cannot be sure if it will work. [14:27] It's up to you what to choose. [14:31] I will try what you say yesterday with the feisty nfsroot and the gutsy base.tgz [14:38] good idea. [14:39] Mrfai: do I need to copy/modify other file than the base.tgz? [14:41] not sure. But the clients need a sources.list which point to gutsy. You may want to write a hook that uses fcopy to copy a different sources.list. Normally the clients use the same that is used inside the nfsroot. [15:06] Mrfai: it updated automatically to gutsy because I left the old sources.list in /etc/fai/apt [15:07] I'm reconstructing a new nfsroot without the file [15:11] Mrfai: are base-pkgs.lis and packages.nfsroot in /var/tmp useful? [15:17] only needed for fai-mirror. [15:22] nsis looks like an interesting tool to install windows, if one has to do [15:22] its in debian, too [15:24] Mrfai: there is no etc/fai/ in my nfsroot and fai-cd doesn't like that [15:25] h01ger: isn't nsis the install tool developed by Winamp creator? [15:26] i have no idea [15:26] i just stumbled on it last night, and it looked very fai-ish [15:27] istaz_: call make-fai-nfsroot -v. The you get more output. I think someing failed during build of the nfsroot. [15:28] h01ger: it look like this on windows http://www.bingocardcreator.com/images/nsis-installer.gif I fai to see how it is fai-ish [15:29] Mrfai: ok [15:30] Action: istaz_ should probably have setup an apt-cache, having to redownload all feisty package each time I do a nfsroot is painful [15:31] or apt-proxy [15:32] istaz_, "apt-cache show nsis " is what i read.. [15:32] Mrfai: that's what I mean [15:32] t [15:33] ErKa (keryell@m2.wifi.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [15:34] h01ger: oh it seem they have moved to a script system, I had looked into it several years ago on Windows and it was just a basis to create your own installer, you still had to code things in it [15:36] "Despite the fact you can generate NSIS installers on Linux or Windows, the result is only executable on Windows." [15:37] so it's useless [15:45] Mrfai: it cannot find the fai-nfsroot package anymore [15:45] Mrfai: http://paste.debian.net/43739 [15:48] Mrfai: I found the cause, universe wasn't included anymore in the source.list [15:49] universe is a repository of extra package in ubuntu [15:56] fai-guy (~fai-guy@p57B9BE29.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) left irc: Quit: leaving [15:57] sepski (~sep@217.17.211.51) joined #fai.
