[10:23] have 2.6.18-6-486 here (w0rked out of the box with 3.2.4) [10:26] i have the same initrd but i tried the latest i ve the pb [10:27] does the nfs server log error messages?! [10:28] tried to tell the client its nfs ip in pxelinux.cfg/CASD ? nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/srv...

Is it perhaps mounted before / (i.e / hides /boot) [10:36] no i don't. just /var and / as raid....when i ssh to the machines i should be able to setup grub with: "grub-install /dev/sda" ?! [10:36] but i can't even set it up by hand...no valid block device until i mount anything over /boot [10:37] im tryig completly withour raid atm [10:38] maybe i have some old config files from 3.1.8 in /srv/fai/config... [10:39] mettler: we have been using http://pastebin.com/m22b54374 [10:43] thx alot! will try it [10:49] what could be a reason that a fai install takes particularly long? [10:49] one install that a college does right now is super slow when installing packages [10:50] the packages are downloaded and all, but installing them is in slow motion [10:50] ? [10:51] it takes ~200sec to install bsdutils [10:51] installing from a cd is fast as always. [10:54] it did not mount local disks and installs over nfs? ^ [10:54] or does not use udma ..just guessing ;D [11:17] torkel I have a dapper on a raid system ;)) [11:17] sobersabre (~bilbo@89-139-33-236.bb.netvision.net.il) joined #fai. [11:17] hi. [11:17] welcome [11:17] I am failing to boot my fai setup :( [11:17] I am on 3.2.4 [11:17] mettler: so our "hack" worked? [11:17] I used to boot with vmlinuz-install [11:18] now I get a problem with it. the booting machine says: [11:18] yes i think so, but i also changed from striping to mirror. will try on to see where my mistake was and what was the hack [11:19] cannot find init. [11:20] I think it fails to mount the nfs root. [11:21] something like: "No init found. Try passing init= option." [11:21] it says before that: [11:22] VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) read-only. [11:22] and there's a warning: [11:22] unable to open an initial console. [11:22] hell. [11:22] sorry for the mess. [11:22] the choronology is: [11:23] 1. VFS: mounted root [11:23] 2. Freeing unused memory [11:23] 3. Warning: unable to open an initial console [11:23] sobersabre: are you using lenny fai by any chance? [11:23] neil|work: I don't think so. [11:23] lemme check. [11:23] sobersabre: whate does "make-fai-nfsroot -v" tell you? [11:23] no. ETCH. [11:24] oz_: I ran fai-setup [11:24] using the etch fai kernel? [11:24] yes. [11:24] sobersabre: run "make-fai-nfsroot -v" [11:24] ok. [11:24] and check the errormessages [11:24] it will take some minutes. [11:25] sure :) [11:25] is there a file for errors anyway ? [11:25] the log files, yes [11:25] :) [11:25] so... make-fai-nfsroot is run on fai-setup or not ? [11:26] make-fai-nfsroot is run by fai-setup [11:26] ok. so... if I add -v, does it add anything to the log files? [11:26] your error prolly due to some error during the creation of the nfsroot [11:26] sobersabre: it also prints the errors to the console [11:27] I don't mind reading them from the file.... [11:27] Base system installed successfully [11:28] Base system? did you run make-fai-nfsroot? [11:28] it uses linux-image-2.6.18-6-686 [11:28] yes. [11:28] It's one of the stages isn't it... ?

[11:31] I am rerunning make-fai-nfsroot [11:32] yes i had that problem. It was due to there not being a release candidate for it in my repository [11:34] hmmm. [11:35] I added live-initramfs to the install list of I386 part [11:35] and I still get that error. [11:35] where do I need to add the package ? [11:36] in the initial section of /etc/fai/NFSROOT file [11:36] ?

Limited to 8 or soemthing like that. If you go over it then it just chops it off. [12:25] im not sure what boot=live does however? [12:26] atlantide: use fai-chboot to create your pxelinux.cfg files [12:29] itais (~itais@62.81.119.138.static.user.ono.com) left irc: Quit: Leaving.

Then other things in your setup are wrong. [12:46] atlantide: I think noone know what your problem is. Do you get the red text on the install client? [12:46] when i put boot=live and no "FAI_ACTION=install" the system run but there no action $FAI_ACTION [12:48] i have the red text when i put boot=live and no "FAI_ACTION=install" the system run but there no action $FAI_ACTION [12:49] id stick the FAI_ACTION=install ealier in the boot flags and see if it appears then, but then Ive never had too much luck with fai-chboot. Il llearn how to use it one day :D [13:03] Mrfai: is there an other option for boot=? with live [13:13] is there an explonation if unpacking of packages is really *really* slow during the fai installation? [13:15] where bsdutils unpacks for 5min? [13:16] on the local filesystem? [13:16] yes [13:17] i would not expect it to install it anywhere else :-) [13:18] stockholm: if it's so slow... [13:18] I had that with a customer some time ago [13:18] I found out, that he configured his host to mount a rootfs from the server... [13:19] and the packages where unpacked via nfs [13:21] atlantide: do not change any option in pxelinux.cfg. [13:21] atlantide: what do cat /proc/cmdline say on your install client? [13:22] stockholm: normally, if things are that slow, it's a DNS problem. Use top to see what's happening during unpacking. [13:25] cp:unable to open '/root/var/log': No such file ...

[13:59] or i can do "fai -v softupdate " [13:59] I think a slash is missing after tlon.

[14:07] reboot your install client [14:07] read fai.log or paste the new fai.log [14:08] one it is not important to "make-fai-nfsroot -v" before beginning the installation [14:10] can i somehow restart an instation? [14:10] the client has the nfs root mounted as / [14:10] and /target has the local hd [14:11] atlantide: no, do not call make-fai-nfsroot -v now. just reboot your client [14:11] can i somehow restart the fai install process in order to see whats so slow? [14:11] stockholm: faireboot [14:12] Mrfai: aber dann kann ich nicht stracen und topen. [14:12] ich wollte sowas wie fai -N install oder so hören [14:12] geht das? [14:14] http://paste.debian.net/51104, i have the same answer when i do "fai -v softupdate " [14:14] stockholm: probier es aus [14:15] atlantide: if you care doing softupdate, check /etc/fai/fai.conf. softupdate do not need the nfsroot, so your changes in the nfsroot are useless when doing softupdate [14:18] thank [14:20] on ligne 63 : mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on tlon:/srv/fai/config, there is a pb [14:21] atlantide: can you moutn the config space from another machine?
