| 20:48 holst | hi! |
| 20:48 holst | anyone around or still vaccation? |
| 20:49 holst | I am trying to setup FAI for www.nada.kth.se (or www.csc.kth.se as we are called now) |
| 20:50 holst | its only about 10 PhD/researcher computers in the test right now but still I think the FAI backend is worth while |
| 20:50 holst | however, I have run into some problem |
| 20:50 holst | 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 holst | any usual misstakes here? |
| 20:51 holst | oh, did I say its Ubuntu? 7.10 |
| 20:51 maswan | I don't know, TBH, we just use PXE boot for everything (hpc2n.umu.se) |
| 21:00 holst | well, that is encouraging at least :) |
| 21:02 juri_ | the cd image has no kernels? check your /etc/fai/NFSROOT |
| 21:02 juri_ | (yay! another fai-cd user!) |
| 21:08 holst | well |
| 21:08 holst | the image itself has kernels |
| 21:09 holst | they just install onto harddisk |
| 21:09 holst | DONT install |
| 21:09 holst | /etc/fai/NFSROOT lists the kernel package (linux-image-generic) |
| 21:10 holst | I am installing in a vmware session, I hope that isnt affecting it |
| 21:11 holst | it creates the partitions, all very good |
| 21:12 holst | I will boot with knoppix and see what the log file says |

| 21:28 holst | hmm |
| 21:28 holst | I cannot find the packages |
| 21:29 holst | also, /etc/apt/sources.list is empty (only a comment from #fai-cd) |
| rcy (~rcy@209.90.176.129) joined #fai. |
| 21:30 holst | maybe I misunderstood the purpose of fai-cd, I thought I could use it to bootstrap a normal netbased install |
| 21:31 holst | besides, who uses floppies anymore? :) |
| 21:34 siretart | holst: I don't think fai-cd works on ubuntu yet. needs more investigation what's going wrong there |
| 21:36 holst | ok, I will try and get the floppy variant working instead |
| 21:36 holst | The kernel configuration is $NFSROOT/boot/config-$KERNELVERSION. |
| 21:37 holst | $NFSROOT is /srv/fai/nfsroot |
| 21:37 holst | but under nfsroot is live/filesystem.dir/ |
| 21:37 holst | no boot/ |

| 22:17 holst | the NFSROOT interpretation is different between make-fai-bootfloppy and fai-cd |
| 22:17 holst | is this correct? |
| 22:18 holst | bootfloppy uses the unaltered NFSROOT from /etc/make-fai-nfsroot.conf |
| MT (~MT@dove.informatik.tu-muenchen.de) joined #fai. |
| 22:19 holst | but fai-cd uses instead, NFSROOT="$NFSROOT/live/filesystem.dir" |
| rcy (~rcy@209.90.176.129) left irc: Remote host closed the connection |
| 22:44 holst | wee |
| 22:44 holst | NFSROOT isnt defined in the stock kernel |
