| 10:21 mettler | atlantide did u try with standart kernel -initrd? |
| 10:21 mettler | can mount the nfs share from somewhere else? what fai version r u using? |
| 10:23 mettler | have 2.6.18-6-486 here (w0rked out of the box with 3.2.4) |
| 10:26 atlantide | i have the same initrd but i tried the latest i ve the pb |
| 10:27 mettler | does the nfs server log error messages?! |
| 10:28 mettler | tried to tell the client its nfs ip in pxelinux.cfg/CASD ? nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/srv... |
| 10:34 atlantide | Mrfai have no time for me, i have 20 machines to install thank mettler i haved specified pxelinux.cfg/0A0A0083 nfs=10.100.143:/srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir but negatif |
| 10:34 torkel | mettler: do you have a seperate boot-partition? Is it perhaps mounted before / (i.e / hides /boot) |
| 10:36 mettler | 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 mettler | but i can't even set it up by hand...no valid block device until i mount anything over /boot |
| 10:37 mettler | im tryig completly withour raid atm |
| 10:38 mettler | maybe i have some old config files from 3.1.8 in /srv/fai/config... |
| 10:39 torkel | mettler: we have been using http://pastebin.com/m22b54374 |
| 10:43 mettler | thx alot! will try it |
| 10:49 stockholm | what could be a reason that a fai install takes particularly long? |
| 10:49 stockholm | one install that a college does right now is super slow when installing packages |
| 10:50 stockholm | the packages are downloaded and all, but installing them is in slow motion |
| 10:50 stockholm | ? |
| 10:51 stockholm | it takes ~200sec to install bsdutils |
| 10:51 stockholm | installing from a cd is fast as always. |
| 10:54 mettler | it did not mount local disks and installs over nfs? ^ |
| 10:54 mettler | or does not use udma ..just guessing ;D |
| 11:17 mettler | torkel I have a dapper on a raid system ;)) |

| 11:17 sobersabre | hi. |
| 11:17 mettler | welcome |
| 11:17 sobersabre | I am failing to boot my fai setup :( |
| 11:17 sobersabre | I am on 3.2.4 |
| 11:17 torkel | mettler: so our "hack" worked? |
| 11:17 sobersabre | I used to boot with vmlinuz-install |
| 11:18 sobersabre | now I get a problem with it. the booting machine says: |
| 11:18 mettler | 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 sobersabre | cannot find init. |
| 11:20 sobersabre | I think it fails to mount the nfs root. |
| 11:21 sobersabre | something like: "No init found. Try passing init= option." |
| 11:21 sobersabre | it says before that: |
| 11:22 sobersabre | VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) read-only. |
| 11:22 sobersabre | and there's a warning: |
| 11:22 sobersabre | unable to open an initial console. |
| 11:22 sobersabre | hell. |
| 11:22 sobersabre | sorry for the mess. |
| 11:22 sobersabre | the choronology is: |
| 11:23 sobersabre | 1. VFS: mounted root |
| 11:23 sobersabre | 2. Freeing unused memory |
| 11:23 sobersabre | 3. Warning: unable to open an initial console |
| 11:23 neil|work | sobersabre: are you using lenny fai by any chance? |
| 11:23 sobersabre | neil|work: I don't think so. |
| 11:23 sobersabre | lemme check. |
| 11:23 oz_ | sobersabre: whate does "make-fai-nfsroot -v" tell you? |
| 11:23 sobersabre | no. ETCH. |
| 11:24 sobersabre | oz_: I ran fai-setup |
| 11:24 neil|work | using the etch fai kernel? |
| 11:24 sobersabre | yes. |
| 11:24 oz_ | sobersabre: run "make-fai-nfsroot -v" |
| 11:24 sobersabre | ok. |
| 11:24 oz_ | and check the errormessages |
| 11:24 sobersabre | it will take some minutes. |
| 11:25 oz_ | sure :) |
| 11:25 sobersabre | is there a file for errors anyway ? |
| 11:25 oz_ | the log files, yes |
| 11:25 oz_ | :) |
| 11:25 sobersabre | so... make-fai-nfsroot is run on fai-setup or not ? |
| 11:26 oz_ | make-fai-nfsroot is run by fai-setup |
| 11:26 sobersabre | ok. so... if I add -v, does it add anything to the log files? |
| 11:26 oz_ | your error prolly due to some error during the creation of the nfsroot |
| 11:26 oz_ | sobersabre: it also prints the errors to the console |
| 11:27 sobersabre | I don't mind reading them from the file.... |
| 11:27 sobersabre | Base system installed successfully |
| 11:28 oz_ | Base system? did you run make-fai-nfsroot? |
| 11:28 sobersabre | it uses linux-image-2.6.18-6-686 |
| 11:28 sobersabre | yes. |
| 11:28 sobersabre | It's one of the stages isn't it... ? |
| 11:28 oz_ | yes |
| Action: oz_ has to leave |
| 11:29 oz_ | BBL |
| 11:29 sobersabre | OK! |
| 11:29 sobersabre | ERROR: live-initramfs was not installed inside the nfsroot |
| 11:29 sobersabre | very nice. |
| 11:29 oz_ | aha, so wie got it. |
| 11:29 sobersabre | why has this happened ? |
| 11:29 sobersabre | shall I add it in the package list ? |
| 11:30 oz_ | try it, but now I'm gone for a while |
| 11:30 oz_ | and cant help |
| 11:30 sobersabre | thanks! |
| 11:31 sobersabre | I am rerunning make-fai-nfsroot |
| 11:32 neil|work | yes i had that problem. It was due to there not being a release candidate for it in my repository |
| 11:34 sobersabre | hmmm. |
| 11:35 sobersabre | I added live-initramfs to the install list of I386 part |
| 11:35 sobersabre | and I still get that error. |
| 11:35 sobersabre | where do I need to add the package ? |
| 11:36 sobersabre | in the initial section of /etc/fai/NFSROOT file |
| 11:36 sobersabre | ? |

| 12:20 atlantide | hi, in my default file " root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install" somebody can give an other option to test, i ve always the same pb |
| 12:21 neil|work | whats the problem exactly? |
| 12:22 neil|work | append ip=dhcp devfs=nomount FAI_ACTION=install root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.2.1.2:/srv/fai/nfsroot FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt |
| 12:22 neil|work | try that although youll need to change the nfs ip |
| 12:22 atlantide | FAI_ACTION=install isnot running |
| 12:24 neil|work | oh I vaguely remember that with old versions your limited in the number of options you can stick on the boot line. Limited to 8 or soemthing like that. If you go over it then it just chops it off. |
| 12:25 neil|work | im not sure what boot=live does however? |
| 12:26 Mrfai | atlantide: use fai-chboot to create your pxelinux.cfg files |
| itais (~itais@62.81.119.138.static.user.ono.com) left irc: Quit: Leaving. |
| 12:30 atlantide | i use "fai-chboot -iIFv hostname" |
| 12:33 atlantide | the result "append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.18-6-486 ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install" i think there a problem with "boot=live" and "FAI_ACTION=install" |
| 12:44 atlantide | when i put boot=live and "FAI_ACTION=install" i have pb |
| 12:44 Mrfai | if you use fai-chboot from FAI 3.2.4 this is correct. Then other things in your setup are wrong. |
| 12:46 Mrfai | atlantide: I think noone know what your problem is. Do you get the red text on the install client? |
| 12:46 atlantide | when i put boot=live and no "FAI_ACTION=install" the system run but there no action $FAI_ACTION |
| 12:48 atlantide | 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 neil|work | 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 atlantide | Mrfai: is there an other option for boot=? with live |
| 13:13 stockholm | is there an explonation if unpacking of packages is really *really* slow during the fai installation? |
| 13:15 stockholm | where bsdutils unpacks for 5min? |
| 13:16 oz_ | on the local filesystem? |
| 13:16 stockholm | yes |
| 13:17 stockholm | i would not expect it to install it anywhere else :-) |
| 13:18 oz_ | stockholm: if it's so slow... |
| 13:18 oz_ | I had that with a customer some time ago |
| 13:18 oz_ | I found out, that he configured his host to mount a rootfs from the server... |
| 13:19 oz_ | and the packages where unpacked via nfs |
| 13:21 Mrfai | atlantide: do not change any option in pxelinux.cfg. |
| 13:21 Mrfai | atlantide: what do cat /proc/cmdline say on your install client? |
| 13:22 Mrfai | stockholm: normally, if things are that slow, it's a DNS problem. Use top to see what's happening during unpacking. |
| 13:25 atlantide | cp:unable to open '/root/var/log': No such file ... |
| 13:26 atlantide | mount:Mounting /root/dev on /dev.static/dev failed |
| 13:27 atlantide | mount:Mounting /sys on /root/sys failed |
| 13:28 atlantide | mount:Mounting /proc on /root/proc failed |
| 13:28 Mrfai | ? |
| 13:28 Mrfai | atlantide: what is the output of this command: cat /proc/cmdline |
| 13:31 atlantide | cat /proc/cmdline " "append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.18-6-486 ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-486 initrd=initrd-2.6.18-6-486 |

| 13:33 Mrfai | ok, all parameters are corrently recevied. So pxelinux.cfg is not your problem. |
| 13:33 Mrfai | Now, paste fai.log and variables.log to paste.debian.net |
| igormorgado (~igormorga@200.179.57.57) joined #fai. |
| 13:47 atlantide | i post what i find in "/var/log/fai" http://paste.debian.net/51100 but i don't variables.log |
| 13:50 Mrfai | This is your problem: |
| 13:50 Mrfai | # |
| 13:50 Mrfai | Error: Provide the URL to obtain the fai config storage in $FAI_CONFIG_SRC |
| 13:50 Mrfai | # |
| 13:50 Mrfai | Problems accessing the config space. |
| 13:50 Mrfai | atlantide: Without a config space, nothing can work |
| 13:51 Mrfai | try this on your install server: |
| 13:51 Mrfai | grep FAI_CONFIG_SRC /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/etc/fai/fai.conf |
| 13:52 Mrfai | It should say something like this: |
| 13:52 Mrfai | FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://kueppers/srv/fai/config |
| 13:55 atlantide | i modified fai.conf FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://tlon$FAI_CONFIGDIR , must i do "make-fai-nfsroot -v" |
| 13:55 atlantide | or not, or what can i do ? |
| 13:59 atlantide | or i can do "fai -v softupdate " |
| 13:59 Mrfai | I think a slash is missing after tlon. And replace $FAI_CONFIGDIR with the value of it |
| 13:59 Mrfai | variables may not work at this point |
| 14:06 atlantide | FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://tlon/srv/fai/config,it ok now what can i do after ? |
| 14:07 Mrfai | reboot your install client |
| 14:07 Mrfai | read fai.log or paste the new fai.log |
| 14:08 atlantide | one it is not important to "make-fai-nfsroot -v" before beginning the installation |
| 14:10 stockholm | can i somehow restart an instation? |
| 14:10 stockholm | the client has the nfs root mounted as / |
| 14:10 stockholm | and /target has the local hd |
| 14:11 Mrfai | atlantide: no, do not call make-fai-nfsroot -v now. just reboot your client |
| 14:11 stockholm | can i somehow restart the fai install process in order to see whats so slow? |
| 14:11 Mrfai | stockholm: faireboot |
| 14:12 stockholm | Mrfai: aber dann kann ich nicht stracen und topen. |
| 14:12 stockholm | ich wollte sowas wie fai -N install oder so hören |
| 14:12 stockholm | geht das? |
| 14:14 atlantide | http://paste.debian.net/51104, i have the same answer when i do "fai -v softupdate " |
| 14:14 Mrfai | stockholm: probier es aus |
| 14:15 Mrfai | 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 atlantide | thank |
| 14:20 atlantide | on ligne 63 : mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on tlon:/srv/fai/config, there is a pb |

| 14:41 mettler | after installing dapper, i reboot and get the warnungs: "special device /var/run does not exist" same with /var/lock and /dev/shm/var.run (install w0rked fine, system boots -but these warnings) |
| 14:42 mettler | it tries to mount /var/lock to somewhere and expects it to be a device, but there is nothing in /etvc/fstab or mtab - just trying to get rid of the warniing and trying to find the reason |
| 14:43 oz_ | mettler: are you booting the ubuntu kernel? |
| 14:43 oz_ | and it's using the ubuntu fstab? |
| 14:44 mettler | yes |
| 14:46 mettler | 2.6.15-51-686 and only my md devices in fstab + proc and floppy |
| 14:46 mettler | under dapper |
| 14:46 oz_ | maybe better to ask on #ubuntu, then |
| 14:46 mettler | ^^ thx |
| 14:51 torkel | mettler: do you have initscripts installed? |
| 14:52 torkel | mettler: /var/run, /var/lock and a couple of others are tmpfs and are mounted from /etc/init.d/mtab |
| 14:53 atlantide | oz_: i can't the install machine with the hostname 'tlon' but it ok with IP |
| 14:53 mettler | ah, nice hint! thx ...fighting with debian |
| 14:56 oz_ | atlantide: either add tlon to the hosts ile in your nfsroot of use the ip-adress in FAI_CONFIG_SRC |
| 14:56 oz_ | atlantide: either add tlon to the hosts file in your nfsroot of use the ip-adress in FAI_CONFIG_SRC |
