| 08:58 ajf | http://paste.debian.net/2926/ |
| 08:58 ajf | That's the disk configuration I was going for. |
| 08:59 MT | ok, looks ok to me? |
| 08:59 ajf | It installs, but doesn't boot |
| 08:59 MT | what does setup-storage tell, or rather, could you again paste the fai.log? |
| 09:00 ajf | can't find my volume group, but it wouldn't be able to since it hasn't tried to start the arrays |
| 09:01 MT | do you have mdadm installed on your client? |
| 09:01 MT | (just a blind guess...) |
| 09:01 ajf | http://paste.debian.net/2927/ |
| 09:01 ajf | I think there was a problem install grub too |
| 09:02 ajf | had grub not been previously installed... |
| 09:05 MT | ok, first of all I think that mdadm is _not_ installed on your client |
| 09:05 MT | thus, you probably won't get any raid modules into your initrd |
| 09:06 ajf | I've just added it and the install is running again |
| 09:06 MT | then, you might want to paste shell.log to see what kind of error GRUB reports |
| 09:08 ajf | http://paste.debian.net/2928/ |
| 09:15 MT | hmm, probably current grub lacks RAID support |
| 09:16 ajf | IIRC, grub only works with RAID1 boot partitions and the boot partition can't be a LVM LV |
| 09:19 ajf | Installing grub onto both MBRs of a 2 disk RAID1 works well when using the debian installer with preseeding |
| 09:20 ajf | but using preseeding, there's no support for RAID with LVM hence my interest in fai. |
| 09:21 MT | ok, then we need to fix the postinst script |
| 09:22 MT | currently there is no way of telling the postinst script to do this |
| 09:23 ajf | BTW, adding mdadm to a client class does indeed let the system boot |
| 09:24 ajf | Something to add to the wiki page perhaps? |
| 09:24 MT | yep |
| 09:25 MT | done |
| 09:25 MT | so, seems like you just need to hack the postinst script for the time being |
| 09:26 MT | well, and if you get this hacked, please let us know :-) |
| 09:26 ajf | as in /srv/fai/config/files/boot/grub/menu.lst/postinst ? |
| 09:29 MT | jep |
| 09:32 ajf | So, first problem seems to be that BOOT_DEVICE is only set to one device, in my case /dev/sdb |

| 09:56 ajf | Would now be a good time to mention I don't know any perl? :) |
| 09:58 MT | is that postinst perl? |
| 09:59 ajf | no, but the setup-storage stuff is |
| 09:59 MT | well, just don't care about it :-) |
| 09:59 MT | 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 ajf | ok, I'll see what I can do |
| 10:01 ajf | 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 MT | hmm, well, I was hoping that grub could do more for us |
| 10:03 MT | at that time... |
| 10:03 MT | so, should BOOT_DEVICE contain all the devices marked bootable? |
| 10:03 MT | separated by space? |
| 10:04 ajf | yeah, I think that'd be the way forward without migrating to grub2 |
| 11:43 ajf | http://paste.debian.net/2938/ |
| 11:46 ajf | 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! :) |
