[00:28] damn, I give up for today, this is way too difficult with that live stuff [00:29] and there is *no* documenation on that in the FAI-Wiki :( [00:29] the only thing I understand so far is that live-initramfs is configured via kernel-cmdline [06:45] allee (~ach@dialin-212-144-132-118.pools.arcor-ip.net) joined #fai.

[08:24] cbmuser: i hardly even notice it much at all [08:33] I just don't manage to get it running [08:34] I don't understand for example why the init-script mounts the nfs to /live/image and then tries to mount everything on /root [08:35] I setup an nfsroot and bootet a aufs-capabale kernel, with boot=live [08:37] do you mix an old and a new setup? [08:37] i imagine that can give confusion [08:37] no, the server is fai3 [08:38] I am trying to setup a lenny-server though [08:41] I installed fai-server, edited make-fai-nfsroot.conf, created the nfsroot and let a testclient boot from it (the tftp-server being a second server though) [08:47] ah [08:48] lenny might not work completly yet. there will be an efford to fix remaining rc bugs in august [08:48] i dont know if you are bitten by one of those, though [08:49] I don't think its fai-related [08:49] it seems to be a problem with live-initramfs [08:50] it doesn't even load aufs automatically for example [08:51] cbmuser, why do you think its not fai related? fai only supports unionfs but you're trying with aufs... (and fai should (have been) switch(ed) to aufs (some time again)) [08:52] allee (~ach@dialin-212-144-132-118.pools.arcor-ip.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [08:52] yes, but it doesn't even get that far [08:54] the init-script of the initrd tries to setup things in /root/etc, but there is no /root/etc for example [08:55] allee (~ach@dialin-212-144-131-080.pools.arcor-ip.net) joined #fai. [08:58] cbmuser, please check: if there are versions (of fai, live-initramfs, whatever) in sid, which fix those problems. then, please check if there are bugs filed. then, if not, please file bugs. [08:59] hmm, okey [08:59] I was assuming that I am doing something completely wrong [09:00] is my append-line correct ?: [09:00] ip=dhcp devfs=nomount FAI_ACTION=install boot=live netboot=nfs initrd=initrd.img-2.6.25-2-486 modules=aufs nfsroot=160.45.33.1:/amd/burns/0/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir [09:01] Action: h01ger wonders about the devfs param. i think devfs is long gone. but i'm not really qualified to comment on current fai kernel commandline params, so take my word here with a grain of salt [09:04] I migrated that from an etch-FAI-installation [09:04] ErKa (keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [09:05] etch still used devfs [09:05] really, thought that was long before :) [09:06] but removing that didn't fix it [09:06] I understood so far that live-initramfs is configured via the cmdline [09:41] ErKa (keryell@m6.wifi.enstb.org) joined #fai.

(fai-chboot should do it right - copy that one) [17:17] does order matter? [17:34] if it's too long, for sure [17:34] and i think one can guess that the parsing will have its problems... [17:35] (the boot arg list, to be specific...) [17:35] order matters. [17:36] frequently re-occuring problem, and I hassled with this for hours once - sitrting next to mrfai... [17:37] if it's wrong, you get some errors that seem more point to mountiong problems or whatever, basically, you have no chance finding out that it's the order that makes it break [17:37] in most cases, it doesn't matter much, gladly. [17:37] and it *should* not. [17:38] yay [17:38] oz_: in case of live-initramfs stuff it does, and a lot. I don't exacly which thing must be in order and before or behind which, but if you have ot wrong, it doesn't work [17:38] I'd be happy if it _would_ not, too... [17:38] adios...
