[08:55] mludi42 (~or4000@213-205-85-140.net.novis.pt) joined #fai. [08:58] http://paste.debian.net/2926/ [08:58] That's the disk configuration I was going for. [08:59] ok, looks ok to me? [08:59] It installs, but doesn't boot [08:59] what does setup-storage tell, or rather, could you again paste the fai.log? [09:00] can't find my volume group, but it wouldn't be able to since it hasn't tried to start the arrays [09:01] do you have mdadm installed on your client? [09:01] (just a blind guess...) [09:01] http://paste.debian.net/2927/ [09:01] I think there was a problem install grub too [09:02] had grub not been previously installed... [09:05] ok, first of all I think that mdadm is _not_ installed on your client [09:05] thus, you probably won't get any raid modules into your initrd [09:06] I've just added it and the install is running again [09:06] then, you might want to paste shell.log to see what kind of error GRUB reports [09:08] http://paste.debian.net/2928/ [09:15] hmm, probably current grub lacks RAID support [09:16] IIRC, grub only works with RAID1 boot partitions and the boot partition can't be a LVM LV [09:19] Installing grub onto both MBRs of a 2 disk RAID1 works well when using the debian installer with preseeding [09:20] but using preseeding, there's no support for RAID with LVM hence my interest in fai. [09:21] ok, then we need to fix the postinst script [09:22] currently there is no way of telling the postinst script to do this [09:23] BTW, adding mdadm to a client class does indeed let the system boot [09:24] Something to add to the wiki page perhaps? [09:24] yep [09:25] done [09:25] so, seems like you just need to hack the postinst script for the time being [09:26] well, and if you get this hacked, please let us know :-) [09:26] as in /srv/fai/config/files/boot/grub/menu.lst/postinst ? [09:29] jep [09:32] So, first problem seems to be that BOOT_DEVICE is only set to one device, in my case /dev/sdb [09:46] ErKa (~keryell@m2.wifi.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [09:56] Would now be a good time to mention I don't know any perl? :) [09:58] is that postinst perl? [09:59] no, but the setup-storage stuff is [09:59] well, just don't care about it :-) [09:59] I'll try to fix setup-storarge if you can tell me what information would be most desirable to have for the postinst [10:00] ok, I'll see what I can do [10:01] I did notice one thing though. The bits in setup-storage that set BOOT_DEVICE reference http://grub.enbug.org/LVMandRAID. But that's only relevant to recent version of grub2 [10:03] hmm, well, I was hoping that grub could do more for us [10:03] at that time... [10:03] so, should BOOT_DEVICE contain all the devices marked bootable? [10:03] separated by space? [10:04] yeah, I think that'd be the way forward without migrating to grub2 [11:43] http://paste.debian.net/2938/ [11:46] Modifying device2grub would be much cleaner, but I think I mentioned my lack of perl knowledge. Besides, you did tell me i should 'hack' the script! :) [12:04] Lin_ (~igormorga@200.179.57.57) joined #fai. [12:06] ErKa (~keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) joined #fai.
