[20:48] hi! [20:48] anyone around or still vaccation? [20:49] I am trying to setup FAI for www.nada.kth.se (or www.csc.kth.se as we are called now) [20:50] its only about 10 PhD/researcher computers in the test right now but still I think the FAI backend is worth while [20:50] however, I have run into some problem [20:50] when I generate the fai-cd image (as suggsted by a friend as a good start before full PXE boot) it doesnt contain any kernels [20:51] any usual misstakes here? [20:51] oh, did I say its Ubuntu? 7.10 [20:51] I don't know, TBH, we just use PXE boot for everything (hpc2n.umu.se) [21:00] well, that is encouraging at least :) [21:02] the cd image has no kernels? check your /etc/fai/NFSROOT [21:02] (yay! another fai-cd user!) [21:08] well [21:08] the image itself has kernels [21:09] they just install onto harddisk [21:09] DONT install [21:09] /etc/fai/NFSROOT lists the kernel package (linux-image-generic) [21:10] I am installing in a vmware session, I hope that isnt affecting it [21:11] it creates the partitions, all very good [21:12] I will boot with knoppix and see what the log file says [21:20] allee (~ach@dialin-212-144-129-252.pools.arcor-ip.net) joined #fai. [21:28] hmm [21:28] I cannot find the packages [21:29] also, /etc/apt/sources.list is empty (only a comment from #fai-cd) [21:30] rcy (~rcy@209.90.176.129) joined #fai. [21:30] maybe I misunderstood the purpose of fai-cd, I thought I could use it to bootstrap a normal netbased install [21:31] besides, who uses floppies anymore? :) [21:34] holst: I don't think fai-cd works on ubuntu yet. needs more investigation what's going wrong there [21:36] ok, I will try and get the floppy variant working instead [21:36] The kernel configuration is $NFSROOT/boot/config-$KERNELVERSION. [21:37] $NFSROOT is /srv/fai/nfsroot [21:37] but under nfsroot is live/filesystem.dir/ [21:37] no boot/ [21:43] rcy (~rcy@209.90.176.129) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [21:43] rcy (~rcy@209.90.176.129) joined #fai. [21:55] ErKa (keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [22:17] the NFSROOT interpretation is different between make-fai-bootfloppy and fai-cd [22:17] is this correct? [22:18] bootfloppy uses the unaltered NFSROOT from /etc/make-fai-nfsroot.conf [22:18] MT (~MT@dove.informatik.tu-muenchen.de) joined #fai. [22:19] but fai-cd uses instead, NFSROOT="$NFSROOT/live/filesystem.dir" [22:27] rcy (~rcy@209.90.176.129) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [22:44] wee [22:44] NFSROOT isnt defined in the stock kernel [22:44] rcy (~rcy@209.90.176.129) joined #fai.
