| 11:37 istaz | hey |
| 11:46 istaz | Mrfai: : I'm trying to boot from fai-cd like you suggested yesterday |
| 11:47 istaz | but when I boot with the option nfsroot=<fai-srv>:/path |
| 11:47 istaz | it try to mount <local-ip><fai-srv>:/path |
| 11:47 istaz | and the whole process fail |
| 11:47 istaz | any idea why? |
| 11:49 istaz | my grub bootline is : kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs boot=live FAI_FLAGS="verbose,createvt" FAI_ACTION=sysinfo ip=dhcp nfsroot=192.168.0.100:/fai/nfsroot/ |

| 12:36 Mrfai | istaz: you do not need the IP address in the nfsroot parameter. I use nfsroot without IP address, this comes from DHCP |

| 13:35 istaz_ | Mrfai: my nfs server is not my dhcp server and I don't have any control on the dhcp server |
| 13:36 Mrfai | istaz_: ok, then it's ok to add the IP address to nfsroot |
| 13:37 istaz_ | what is the rw option for btw? |
| 13:38 Mrfai | rw means mount the root read-write. But IIRC I do not use it. |
| 13:38 istaz_ | and why did you create the directory live/filesystem.dir instead of directly using directly the nfsroot like before? |
| 13:39 istaz_ | (I had to modify thing in the make-fai-bootfloppy so I could use it before) |
| 13:40 Mrfai | istaz_: it's because of live-initramfs. |
| 13:42 Mrfai | istaz_: using nfsroot=ip_of_server:/srv/fai/nfsroot works here for me. |
| 13:42 Mrfai | I justtested it again |
| 13:44 istaz_ | yes it work now, I made a mistake before |
| 13:44 istaz_ | but I'm stuck further |
| Action: istaz_ is happy to see he is making progress |
| 13:46 Mrfai | were are you stuck now? |
| 13:46 istaz_ | in a busybox shell |
| 13:46 istaz_ | it look like it want to use thing in /root but they are mounter in /root/live/image |
| 13:46 istaz_ | *the nfsroot is mounted in /root/live/image |
| 13:47 istaz_ | and he try to access /root/var/log instead of /root/live/image/var/log |
| 13:52 istaz_ | followed by several similar-look error |
| 13:53 istaz_ | and finishing by a nice : Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init |
| 13:53 Mrfai | istaz_: does this shell has (initramfs) as prompt? |
| 13:54 istaz_ | Mrfai: yes |
| 13:55 Mrfai | your nfsroot parameter should include /srv/fai/nfsroot. Above you said you have /fai/nfsroot. Please check again |
| 13:56 istaz_ | Mrfai: on my nfs server the nfsroot is in /fai/nfsroot |
| 13:56 Mrfai | ok. |
| itais (~itais@62.81.119.138.static.user.ono.com) left irc: Quit: See you |
| 13:58 istaz_ | rhaa |
| 13:59 istaz_ | they have rebooted the server in the dapper version without noticing me |
| 13:59 Mrfai | did you modify your nfsroot by removing .../live/filesystem.dir? |
| 13:59 istaz_ | non |
| 13:59 istaz_ | *no |
| 13:59 Mrfai | good. |
| 13:59 istaz_ | wait I'm gonna see if I can reboot the server under gutsy |
| 14:00 Mrfai | 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 istaz_ | Mrfai: I have one |
| 14:05 istaz_ | I try again with the good nfsserver and I will try to send it to you |
| 14:09 Mrfai | use paste.debian.net |
| 14:13 istaz_ | ok now with the right nfsserver I have the unionfs error |
| 14:13 istaz_ | the same as this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22/+bug/150788/comments/9 |
| 14:14 istaz_ | so I guess I will need a feisty nfsroot like you said |
| 14:15 Mrfai | 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 istaz_ | there is a unionfs-source package but I don't know if it is compiled in the kernel |
| 14:21 Mrfai | AFAIK unionfs does not work with the gutsy kernel at all, so a source package will not help you. |
| 14:21 Mrfai | Read this: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/livecd-unionfs-alternatives |
| 14:22 istaz_ | sorry I meant there is a aufs-source package |
| 14:25 Mrfai | give it a try |
| 14:25 istaz_ | how? |
| 14:26 istaz_ | it say the aufs nfs support is stil in developement |
| 14:27 Mrfai | Mmm. So you cannot be sure if it will work. |
| 14:27 Mrfai | It's up to you what to choose. |
| 14:31 istaz_ | I will try what you say yesterday with the feisty nfsroot and the gutsy base.tgz |
| 14:38 Mrfai | good idea. |
| 14:39 istaz_ | Mrfai: do I need to copy/modify other file than the base.tgz? |
| 14:41 Mrfai | 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 istaz_ | Mrfai: it updated automatically to gutsy because I left the old sources.list in /etc/fai/apt |
| 15:07 istaz_ | I'm reconstructing a new nfsroot without the file |
| 15:11 istaz_ | Mrfai: are base-pkgs.lis and packages.nfsroot in /var/tmp useful? |
| 15:17 Mrfai | only needed for fai-mirror. |
| 15:22 h01ger | nsis looks like an interesting tool to install windows, if one has to do |
| 15:22 h01ger | its in debian, too |
| 15:24 istaz_ | Mrfai: there is no etc/fai/ in my nfsroot and fai-cd doesn't like that |
| 15:25 istaz_ | h01ger: isn't nsis the install tool developed by Winamp creator? |
| 15:26 h01ger | i have no idea |
| 15:26 h01ger | i just stumbled on it last night, and it looked very fai-ish |
| 15:27 Mrfai | istaz_: call make-fai-nfsroot -v. The you get more output. I think someing failed during build of the nfsroot. |
| 15:28 istaz_ | 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 istaz_ | Mrfai: ok |
| 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 Mrfai | or apt-proxy |
| 15:32 h01ger | istaz_, "apt-cache show nsis " is what i read.. |
| 15:32 istaz_ | Mrfai: that's what I mean |
| 15:32 istaz_ | t |

| 15:34 istaz_ | 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 istaz_ | "Despite the fact you can generate NSIS installers on Linux or Windows, the result is only executable on Windows." |
| 15:37 istaz_ | so it's useless |
| 15:45 istaz_ | Mrfai: it cannot find the fai-nfsroot package anymore |
| 15:45 istaz_ | Mrfai: http://paste.debian.net/43739 |
| 15:48 istaz_ | Mrfai: I found the cause, universe wasn't included anymore in the source.list |
| 15:49 istaz_ | universe is a repository of extra package in ubuntu |
