| 13:20 CharlesB | Does fai-cd work to create a bootable usb drive ? |
| 13:25 h01ger | it should |
| 13:35 CharlesB | when I run Fai-cd , it fail to install the grub at the end see http://paste.debian.net/7887 |
| 13:36 CharlesB | my usb look like that Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System |
| 13:36 CharlesB | /dev/sdb1 1 1022 1964253 83 Linux |
| 14:18 lazyb0y_ | CharlesB: do you havfe the usb stick mounted? |
| 14:18 lazyb0y_ | as written in the man page... |
| 14:18 lazyb0y_ | ? |
| 14:19 CharlesB | yes, and it does copy all the files expect it can not install the grup, the man pagw ?? |
| 14:20 CharlesB | I use #mount /dev/sdb usb |
| 14:20 lazyb0y_ | hmm, I only know that behaviour from when I tried to create the usb contents in a normal directory |
| 14:20 CharlesB | interesting to know !! |
| 14:22 CharlesB | could it be because I m using VMWARE ? |
| 14:22 lazyb0y_ | you have a physical usb stick, and hand it over into a vmware VM? |
| 14:22 CharlesB | YES |
| 14:23 CharlesB | does it work |
| 14:23 lazyb0y_ | hmm, it _should_ look like a real, normal usb stick inside the VM, too, I guess... |
| 14:23 lazyb0y_ | but from all I know about virtualizations stuff, it never really is 100% :) |
| 14:24 lazyb0y_ | I don't know exactlxy how the fai usb stuff works, but I believe, it determines from the mount info of the mounted directory, where it has to install grub |
| 14:24 CharlesB | is it a big job to install grub myself |
| 14:25 lazyb0y_ | if your mount is just normal, as you wrote above, and mount info looks "normal", that should work... |
| 14:25 lazyb0y_ | hmm I'm always happy when I don't have to deal with grub stuff - but it should just be ony or two commands ... |
| 14:26 CharlesB | can we burn an iso to usb stick maybe it is better option |
| 14:27 lazyb0y_ | CharlesB: I don't know if that might work. but you lose the upside of the usb thing, namely that you can change the contents without re-making the whole stick. |
| 14:27 lazyb0y_ | iso fs cannot be changed, just completely recreated |
| 14:31 CharlesB | I am stuck ? |
| 14:31 lazyb0y_ | no, i said you can install grub manually, only I don't have the command at hand... |
| 14:31 lazyb0y_ | please read docs of grub-install and try... |
| 14:31 CharlesB | ok ? |
| 14:31 CharlesB | thanks |
| 14:32 CharlesB | after running the fai-cd I can see the the folfer /boot/grub/ ? |
| 14:33 CharlesB | do i still need to install-grub |

| 15:48 greenmoss | hey all; I've got the tftp server, dhcp server, and nfs server set up correctly; I even get an automated install started... but it stops after printing "RPC: Registered tcp transport module" |
| 15:49 greenmoss | then after a while drops me into busybox with prompt "(initramfs)" |
| 15:49 greenmoss | how do I figure out what's not working? |

| 17:03 greenmoss | regarding the initramfs prompt, maybe I post to the mailing list instead? |
| 17:15 lazyb0y_ | greenmoss: what versions of fai are you using, which distribution? |
| 17:15 lazyb0y_ | greenmoss: and yes, you can always post to the list of you don't get a reply here - sometimes people are busy doing other things... |
| 17:18 greenmoss | I'm using FAI 3.2.4 from Ubuntu |
| 17:18 greenmoss | I'm still very shaky on the concepts, so I don't know where to debug the problem I'm having |
| 17:19 greenmoss | I installed the example "simple" configuration |
| 17:19 tokkee | Hi ;-) |
| 17:20 tokkee | lazyb0y_: The SSL cert of https://listi.jpberlin.de/mailman/listinfo/fai-dev-workshop is broken... |

| mcarvalh (~mcarvalh@144-212-103-38.mathworks.com) joined #fai. |
| 17:39 mcarvalh | is it possible to build a lenny client using the FAI packages 3.1.8 from etch? |
| 17:40 mcarvalh | if so, how would one go about this? is it really tricky? |
| 17:42 lazyb0y_ | mcarvalh: you need tpo build a base image for lenny, put it into basefiles in your configspace (or write a script that fetches it into the configspace at install time) |
| 17:42 lazyb0y_ | and then check that your packages lists etc. are correct for lenny package names |
| 17:42 lazyb0y_ | it's basically the same thing as if you'd install ubuntu by the "multi-distribution" howto's |
| 17:44 lazyb0y_ | and you need debootstrap > 1 for lenny and others - it won't bootstrap correctly with the default available on etch... |
| 17:46 mcarvalh | ok thanks. ill look up those how-to's |
| 17:46 mcarvalh | I ask because as I see it, Lenny FAI isnt working 100% right...it still has the unionfs problem, correct? |
| 17:48 mcarvalh | though the last time i tried it, it was with 3.2.7.. im updating to 3.2.8 now |
| 17:49 lazyb0y_ | mcarvalh: it's likely, yes. fai is heavily depending on kernel-near features for this stuff, and it's not really usefule to debug it for .24, as it seems clear that at least .25 will get in... |
| 17:49 lazyb0y_ | I guess updating FAI doesn't help there |
| 17:49 lazyb0y_ | you can still use 3.2.8 with Etch, also |
| 17:50 lazyb0y_ | at least 3.2.6 worked fine, I didn't test .7 and .8 yet |
| 17:50 mcarvalh | but would that let me build a lenny client without the unionfs problem? |
| 17:51 mcarvalh | id like to be able to get lenny out to my company (with all of our customizations) before stable releases |
| 17:51 mcarvalh | and itd be nice to not have to configure them by hand |
| 17:53 mcarvalh | do we have any idea when 2.6.25 will be in? |
| 17:58 lazyb0y_ | mcarvalh: what? fai 3.2.8 or the newer kernel? |
| 17:59 lazyb0y_ | if you have an existing etch install server, I'd recommend using this and go the basefiles approach, and not worry about lennies kernel |
| 17:59 lazyb0y_ | and no, I have no idea about kernel schedules for lenny |
| 18:18 mcarvalh | ok, thanks. I'll try the etch basefiles approach. |
