[08:49] yes [08:49] jcastang, could you paste your debconf settings [08:49] ok [08:51] it's done, number 44642 [08:54] you don't actually set the console keymap ... [08:54] for german we use: [08:54] console-common console-data/keymap/full select de [08:54] console-data console-data/keymap/full select de [08:55] and, you need to have console-common installed to make that work [08:55] nocturn (~nocturn@d51A4378A.access.telenet.be) joined #fai.

[08:57] no, Ubuntu [08:57] (sic) [08:57] ah, ok [08:58] I was just wondering whether the console-common thing is only needed in etch [08:58] so I hope this works for you as well [09:00] I am trying, I'll tell you [09:00] I just booted up my first node installed with FAI [09:00] It finally worked, though I need to go into tuning the install now [09:01] First thing is customization, the hostname of the node is set to host instead of it's DNS name...

[09:37] µ [09:37] Thanks, trying that [09:39] kugg, you're here? read your answer tonight. 3.2 doesnt support KERNELPACKAGE anymore. so i need another way to include a selfcompiled kernel (.deb exists too) into my nfsroot. [09:40] s/read/i've read ;-) [09:44] ctp: I'm doing with a script [09:44] and I removed the kernel from the I386 class [09:51] ed: what to do exactely to replace the default 2.6.18 (etch) with 2.6.23.9 in nfsroot? [10:03] you have to create a local repository and put you own kernel into this reprository. [10:07] ctp: i've done a dpkg -i. [10:07] as that's the only package I need outside the main tree, it's simpler [10:12] MT (~MT@dove.informatik.tu-muenchen.de) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [10:13] MT (~MT@dove.informatik.tu-muenchen.de) joined #fai.

[12:14] ed: you're using same unionfs patched kernel for fai server and fai clients? [12:24] Nick change: \sh -> \sh_away [12:26] I set up some files in fai/config/files [12:26] but they are not copied to installed nodes... [12:26] Do I need to enable something else for this to happen? [12:27] nocturn: you have also to add some fcopy commands in the scripts. Or use fcopy -r / [12:31] Mrfai: Do I need to cd somewhere first? [12:31] Mrfai: hm, where must i put the 'dpkg -i my_own_kernel.deb' to get a custom kernel in my nfsroot? make-fai-nfsroot? [12:44] nocturn: man fcopy [12:45] ctp: make-fai-nfsroot can call a hook. Do it inside this hook, but do not forget to use --root= when calling dpkg, or do chroot .... dpkg [12:46] ctp, what Mrfai said. but i like to note, that its probably a good idea to look into setting up your own apt-repo as you'll probaly sooner or later have more packages of your own... [12:52] MT (~MT@dove.informatik.tu-muenchen.de) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [12:59] ah, ok. my fai knowledge grows with every hint you give me ;-) [13:00] h01ger: ok, setting up own repo the way to install my own kernel is to replace 'linux-image-2.6-amd64' in /etc/fai/NFSROOT with 'linux-image-2.6.23.9-amd64' (my custom kernel)? [13:01] in the 'PACKAGES install AMD64' section? [13:02] ctp, gugl for "setting up custom apt repository"... (its more work than you need for this one package, but as said, i'm quite sure you will want more than one package in the longer run.. [13:04] h01ger: i'm always walking the most professional way setting up new enviroments. so no problem with more work than needed ;-) same here with true apt-mirror instead of apt-cache ;-) [13:12] ctp: yes [13:12] ha euh fai server does not need unionfs [13:13] so no, the fai server is a completly different kernel [13:15] ed: ok, so you use 2.6.23.9 beeing not patched on your fai server? [13:17] h01ger: by the way, all the steps and hints i make/get are documented in http://wiki.slashconcept.com/index.php/Fully_Automatic_Installation_FAI_with_Debian_GNU_Linux_4.0_Etch_Howto ;-) it's my part to give something back to the community. the footer is reserved for all the acknowledgments ;-) [13:19] ctp, can you please link this article on faiwiki.debian.net, once its finished? [13:19] h01ger: if you have some time next weeks, can you take a look at? wanna avoid some dumb goof-ups ;-) [13:19] h01ger, np [13:20] i can try, but i cant promise :) usually pinging me (when its done, to have a look) works well though [13:20] ok ;-) [13:24] btw guys, you kept me from switching to ubuntu on our cluster ;-) if it works fine with debian i am the happiest man today's evening ;-) [13:31] \o/ [13:31] cheers! [13:31] Action: h01ger hopes ctp will also be happily ever after ;) [13:38] Ok, I cannot get files copied to the server... [13:38] I created an fcopy script though [13:40] is it run? [13:44] use fcopy -v and read shell.log [13:47] I do already have some things about fcopy in shell.log [13:47] http://paste.debian.net/44666 [13:48] It seems it did copy the FAIBASE files... [13:48] but not DEFAULT [13:48] which contains my own files [13:49] you should nit use the DEFAULT class. Create a class on our own and use this name for your configurations [13:53] Mrfai: Will that fix it? [14:02] ed: which options did you compile into your custom kernel. UnionFS, UnionFS extended attributes, NIC driver. did i forget anything? [14:03] nfs and root filesystem on nfs [14:11] I tried with a different class but no luck [14:13] itais (~itais@62.81.119.138.static.user.ono.com) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [14:28] oz_: thx [14:33] nocturn: man fcopy, use fcopy -v and read shell.log [14:34] Ok, need sleep.

[14:43] File Systems/Network File Systems/Root file system on NFS [14:44] should be there, if nfs is built in the kernel [14:48] oz_: hm, there's no "Root file system on NFS' in my case. First item is "<*> NFS file system support" with 4 subitems (Provide NFSc3 client support, Provide client support for the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension, Provide NFSv4 client support, Allow direct I/O on NFS files), NFS server support, some SMB, CIFS, Coda and AFS stuff :-( [15:10] I think the new method using an initrd does not need root NFS any more.
