| 00:28 cbmuser | damn, I give up for today, this is way too difficult with that live stuff |
| 00:29 cbmuser | and there is *no* documenation on that in the FAI-Wiki :( |
| 00:29 cbmuser | the only thing I understand so far is that live-initramfs is configured via kernel-cmdline |

| 08:23 stockholm | cbmuser: i dont know what is so confusing about it. |
| 08:24 stockholm | cbmuser: i hardly even notice it much at all |
| 08:33 cbmuser | I just don't manage to get it running |
| 08:34 cbmuser | 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 cbmuser | I setup an nfsroot and bootet a aufs-capabale kernel, with boot=live |
| 08:37 stockholm | do you mix an old and a new setup? |
| 08:37 stockholm | i imagine that can give confusion |
| 08:37 cbmuser | no, the server is fai3 |
| 08:38 cbmuser | I am trying to setup a lenny-server though |
| 08:41 cbmuser | 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 stockholm | ah |
| 08:48 stockholm | lenny might not work completly yet. there will be an efford to fix remaining rc bugs in august |
| 08:48 stockholm | i dont know if you are bitten by one of those, though |
| 08:49 cbmuser | I don't think its fai-related |
| 08:49 cbmuser | it seems to be a problem with live-initramfs |
| 08:50 cbmuser | it doesn't even load aufs automatically for example |
| 08:51 h01ger | 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 cbmuser | yes, but it doesn't even get that far |
| 08:54 cbmuser | the init-script of the initrd tries to setup things in /root/etc, but there is no /root/etc for example |

| 08:58 h01ger | 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 cbmuser | hmm, okey |
| 08:59 cbmuser | I was assuming that I am doing something completely wrong |
| 09:00 cbmuser | is my append-line correct ?: |
| 09:00 cbmuser | 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 |
| 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 cbmuser | I migrated that from an etch-FAI-installation |
| ErKa (keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) left irc: Remote host closed the connection |
| 09:05 h01ger | etch still used devfs |
| 09:05 cbmuser | really, thought that was long before :) |
| 09:06 cbmuser | but removing that didn't fix it |
| 09:06 cbmuser | I understood so far that live-initramfs is configured via the cmdline |

| 17:12 lazyb0y | cbmuser: is your kernel command line in the right order? (fai-chboot should do it right - copy that one) |
| 17:17 h01ger | does order matter? |
| 17:34 oz_ | if it's too long, for sure |
| 17:34 oz_ | and i think one can guess that the parsing will have its problems... |
| 17:35 oz_ | (the boot arg list, to be specific...) |
| 17:35 lazyb0y | order matters. |
| 17:36 lazyb0y | frequently re-occuring problem, and I hassled with this for hours once - sitrting next to mrfai... |
| 17:37 lazyb0y | 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 oz_ | in most cases, it doesn't matter much, gladly. |
| 17:37 oz_ | and it *should* not. |
| 17:38 oz_ | yay |
| 17:38 lazyb0y | 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 lazyb0y | I'd be happy if it _would_ not, too... |
| 17:38 lazyb0y | adios... |
