[09:53] hi all [09:54] once more i've got a little question ;) : i'm trying to get the installed machines to boot the new system, but _without_ enabling boot from harddisks in the bios [09:55] so i've put the kernel and initrd in the tftp and set the default-config for all hosts (initrd, kernel,..) [09:56] but the machines still can't find the local harddisks. they complain about not finding /dev/sda1 (which is the root) [09:56] am I missing something crucial here? [09:59] probably your hdd controller is not recognized [09:59] missing module, I guess [09:59] the initrd should fix this, shoudn't it? [10:00] you may need to point the initrd to the right module... [10:00] hm [10:01] or i build a kernel without modules at all [10:01] i'll try that [10:01] thanks for the input [10:15] /usr/lib/fai/subroutines-linux: line 70: /etc/syslog.conf: Permission denied [10:15] has anyone already seen problems like that while installing? [10:15] it seems that redirections don't work on the install client [10:18] siretart: hasn't it always been like that? [10:20] I'm not sure, but it cannot possibly intendend like that, no? [10:20] siretart: is the fai package currently in hardy supposed to work? [10:20] I get: Can't set permissions on mtab: Operation not permitted [10:20] Can't mount faiserver.hpc2n.umu.se:/export/debmirror [10:20] I'm currently testing with qemu [10:20] that mtab: Operation not permitted is not the reason why it cannot mount [10:20] I get that message as well, but the mount still succeeds [10:21] siretart: ah, ok. I need to investigate further then [10:23] itais (~itais@62.81.119.138.static.user.ono.com) left irc: Quit: Leaving. [10:42] itais (~itais@62.81.119.138.static.user.ono.com) joined #fai. [10:56] PsY (~psy@82-169-64-5.dsl.ip.tiscali.nl) joined #fai. [10:57] hi, can anybody tell me how to add users on the fai-client during install? [10:58] i've searched the manual and googled some, but could not find anything useful [10:59] PsY: create a script with 'adduser' [10:59] yes, that is what i tried, but it seems to create a user on the fai server instead [10:59] or it tries to do so :) [10:59] $rootcmd adduser [11:00] PsY: it's best done with a post-install script [11:00] the variable $rootcmd takes care of that? [11:00] <- got to go [11:00] tnx, i'll try that first [11:00] PsY: it's described in the manual *hint* :) [11:00] hehe, i'll figure it out from there [11:02] is see it now, tnx for your help [11:02] PsY (~psy@82-169-64-5.dsl.ip.tiscali.nl) left irc: Quit: BitchX: its what's for lunch [12:04] ErKa (keryell@dhcp1.info.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [12:12] itais (~itais@62.81.119.138.static.user.ono.com) left irc: Quit: Leaving.

[17:28] bah, just figured it out, it's not down /trunk... [17:29] great [17:44] ErKa (keryell@dhcp1.info.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [17:46] egad, lazyb0y told me yesterday that "setup_harddisk is an ugly beast of code"... I think I'm less scared of that than config-storage :) [17:48] config-storage is quite nice I would say, dont be scared. Im trusting it with _my_ drives ;) [17:52] kugg: The 20 minutes of time I've spent looking at the code concern me. [17:53] ok [17:53] It could be I don't understand the design decisions in there, but it seems that the code is very limiting. [17:54] For example, there's the use of 'unshift @INC,...' and a bunch of requires. Which isn't good practice. [17:55] Another example is the the hardcoded use of 'parted' and the hardcoded list of file system types within a regexp... [17:55] The code may work, but it looks unwieldy, limiting, and eventually as tough to debug as setup_harddisk is now... [18:00] I'm also not quite sure why it's now limited to using parted, which has support for significantly fewer partition types than (c,s)fdisk... [18:01] I can understand making it more flexible, but not more limiting. Of course, I'm perhaps the only one who cares about using a partition type 99.999% of the world doesn't have a use for :) [18:10] ErKa (keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) joined #fai.
