Unfortunately, live-initramfs is not getting installed, and I have not clue why [10:18] http://rafb.net/p/DRiLnQ49.html [10:19] command is: "make-fai-nfsroot -C /etc/fai-i386 -v" [10:44] Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai. [11:08] Hi Mrfai, do you have a quick idea why my fai doesn't install live-initramfs into a 32bit-nfsroot? Here is the output of "make-fai-nfsroot -C /etc/fai-i386 -v": http://rafb.net/p/DRiLnQ49.html [11:09] BScherrer: Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "liblinux-lvm-perl" [11:09] Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "live-initramfs" [11:12] broken mirror. How does your sources.list in /etc/fai/apt look like? [11:12] you need this line in sources.list, because live-initramfs is not in plain etch [11:12] deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download etch koeln [11:14] Mrfai: I have this line in /etc/fai-i386/apt/sources.lst and in /etc/apt/sources.lst [11:16] BScherrer: .list not .lst [11:17] torkel: ah yeah, /s/lst/list [11:19] BScherrer: chroot into your nfsroot and check the output of apt-cache show live-initramfs, check source.list there again [11:20] maybe my repository is broken [11:21] Mrfai: I don't know how to chroot to my nfsroot... [11:23] as root [11:23] chroot /srv/fai/nfsroot-i386/live/filesystem.dir [11:23] then you are inside your nfsroot [11:23] you can leave with exit [11:41] Mrfai: "unable to locate package live-initramfs" [11:41] and the sources.list in the chroot only has one line (debian itself) in it [11:43] ah, looks like this is the line defined in make-fai-nfsroot.conf: FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP [11:43] can I define multiple lines in FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP? [12:18] Joelio (~joel@office-112.zen.co.uk) joined #fai. [12:19] Hi guys, I would like to use FAI in an environment where we already have a DHCP server, but would like to boot from a usb device or CD to start the install process (i.e. not from PXE boot, as this would cause issues with out current network arrangement( [12:19] is this possible? [12:20] .. or would we have to have a seperate build network/ [12:20] ? [12:30] Joelio: That's just my scenario :) [12:32] In short: I have a CD that contains grub and kernel; you give the FAI-server IP to grub. The kernel boots from the CD and mounts the root file-system from FAIserver (at the given IP) and installs everything. [12:33] Ahh, ok, I still need to read through the documentation, but that makes perfect sense [12:33] I'm having a bit trouble getting everything to work for 64 and 32bit clients at the same time, but that's another thing [12:34] Sure, we're predominantly 32 bit so that's not really an issue, thanks! [12:35] I got very good advices on the channel here during the last weeks; searching the IRC channel history might reveal great things to you :) [12:35] and ask of course [12:38] BScherrer: line 574: cp: Überschreiben des Verzeichnisses #/srv/fai/nfsroot-i386/live/filesystem.dir/etc/apt" mit Nicht-Verzeichnis nicht möglich. [12:38] maybe this is your problem [12:40] interesting [12:46] Joelio: As an orientation, your grub entry should look somehow like this: "kernel /boot/vmlinuz FAI_ACTION=install hostname=gnomehost root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=x.x.x.x:/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live [12:46] initrd /boot/initrd.img" --> with the boot=live after root=/dev/nfs, that took me long hours to resolve my issues, cause I had that at the beginning of the line :) [12:52] Mrfai: this error with "...mit Nicht-Verzeichnis" also occurs when I previously delete the whole directory. Do you know why this error pops up?

[13:26] sep (~sep@40.211.jostedal.no) joined #fai. [13:30] BScherrer: because of this line in make-fai-nfsroot: cp -a $cfdir/apt $NFSROOT/etc [13:31] BScherrer: Seems that you have a file /etc/fai-i386/apt instead of a directory [13:31] BScherrer: That's why your sources.lsit is also bad inside the nfsroot [13:32] Mrfai: it's a directory, but I also have a file called "apt_arch.conf" there - could it be that fai confuses these two? [13:34] maybe. not sure. [13:40] Mrfai: no, I moved the file away so that there is only the dir apt, but the error stay [13:42] strange [13:43] edit make-fai-nfsroot and put a ls -l before this cp command. So you can see how the source and target really lokks like when this command is executed [14:12] Mrfai: Great tip again! I had created a soft link to /etc/fai-amd64/apt and apparently, that wasn't a good idea [14:43] BScherrer (~BScherrer@193.196.193.20) left irc: Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com [15:01] siggg (~jean@tra78-1-87-88-161-80.dsl.club-internet.fr) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [15:23] eartoast (~glaweh@g35.physik.fu-berlin.de) joined #fai.
