| 09:53 kazamatzuri | hi all |
| 09:54 kazamatzuri | 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 kazamatzuri | so i've put the kernel and initrd in the tftp and set the default-config for all hosts (initrd, kernel,..) |
| 09:56 kazamatzuri | but the machines still can't find the local harddisks. they complain about not finding /dev/sda1 (which is the root) |
| 09:56 kazamatzuri | am I missing something crucial here? |
| 09:59 oz_ | probably your hdd controller is not recognized |
| 09:59 oz_ | missing module, I guess |
| 09:59 kazamatzuri | the initrd should fix this, shoudn't it? |
| 10:00 oz_ | you may need to point the initrd to the right module... |
| 10:00 kazamatzuri | hm |
| 10:01 kazamatzuri | or i build a kernel without modules at all |
| 10:01 kazamatzuri | i'll try that |
| 10:01 kazamatzuri | thanks for the input |
| 10:15 siretart | /usr/lib/fai/subroutines-linux: line 70: /etc/syslog.conf: Permission denied |
| 10:15 siretart | has anyone already seen problems like that while installing? |
| 10:15 siretart | it seems that redirections don't work on the install client |
| 10:18 torkel | siretart: hasn't it always been like that? |
| 10:20 siretart | I'm not sure, but it cannot possibly intendend like that, no? |
| 10:20 torkel | siretart: is the fai package currently in hardy supposed to work? |
| 10:20 torkel | I get: Can't set permissions on mtab: Operation not permitted |
| 10:20 torkel | Can't mount faiserver.hpc2n.umu.se:/export/debmirror |
| 10:20 siretart | I'm currently testing with qemu |
| 10:20 siretart | that mtab: Operation not permitted is not the reason why it cannot mount |
| 10:20 siretart | I get that message as well, but the mount still succeeds |
| 10:21 torkel | siretart: ah, ok. I need to investigate further then |

| 10:57 PsY | hi, can anybody tell me how to add users on the fai-client during install? |
| 10:58 PsY | i've searched the manual and googled some, but could not find anything useful |
| 10:59 oz_ | PsY: create a script with 'adduser' |
| 10:59 PsY | yes, that is what i tried, but it seems to create a user on the fai server instead |
| 10:59 PsY | or it tries to do so :) |
| 10:59 oz_ | $rootcmd adduser |
| 11:00 oz_ | PsY: it's best done with a post-install script |
| 11:00 PsY | the variable $rootcmd takes care of that? |
| 11:00 oz_ | <- got to go |
| 11:00 PsY | tnx, i'll try that first |
| 11:00 oz_ | PsY: it's described in the manual *hint* :) |
| 11:00 PsY | hehe, i'll figure it out from there |
| 11:02 PsY | is see it now, tnx for your help |

| 17:25 pll | how do I check out the setup-storage code from svn? |
| 17:28 pll | bah, just figured it out, it's not down /trunk... |
| 17:29 kugg | great |
| ErKa (keryell@dhcp1.info.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds |
| 17:46 pll | 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 kugg | config-storage is quite nice I would say, dont be scared. Im trusting it with _my_ drives ;) |
| 17:52 pll | kugg: The 20 minutes of time I've spent looking at the code concern me. |
| 17:53 kugg | ok |
| 17:53 pll | It could be I don't understand the design decisions in there, but it seems that the code is very limiting. |
| 17:54 pll | For example, there's the use of 'unshift @INC,...' and a bunch of requires. Which isn't good practice. |
| 17:55 pll | Another example is the the hardcoded use of 'parted' and the hardcoded list of file system types within a regexp... |
| 17:55 pll | The code may work, but it looks unwieldy, limiting, and eventually as tough to debug as setup_harddisk is now... |
| 18:00 pll | 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 pll | 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 :) |
