| 02:00 codice | hey fellas |
| 02:01 codice | I'm running into a issue where a fai client can't find /var/lib/fai/config/class |
| 02:01 codice | I checked the mailing lists and followed the threads explaining how to troubleshoot the issue |
| 02:01 codice | I have FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://192.168.1.10/srv/fai/config defined |
| 02:02 codice | I'm using FAI 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 |
| 02:03 codice | I checked that I have all the parameters in the right order in the file for PXE boot |
| 02:03 codice | I'm not sure where to go next =( |

| 10:18 BScherrer | hi- I want to create a nfsroot 32bit on my 64bit fai-server. Unfortunately, live-initramfs is not getting installed, and I have not clue why |
| 10:18 BScherrer | http://rafb.net/p/DRiLnQ49.html |
| 10:19 BScherrer | command is: "make-fai-nfsroot -C /etc/fai-i386 -v" |
| Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai. |
| 11:08 BScherrer | 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 torkel | BScherrer: Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "liblinux-lvm-perl" |
| 11:09 torkel | Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "live-initramfs" |
| 11:12 Mrfai | broken mirror. How does your sources.list in /etc/fai/apt look like? |
| 11:12 Mrfai | you need this line in sources.list, because live-initramfs is not in plain etch |
| 11:12 Mrfai | deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download etch koeln |
| 11:14 BScherrer | Mrfai: I have this line in /etc/fai-i386/apt/sources.lst and in /etc/apt/sources.lst |
| 11:16 torkel | BScherrer: .list not .lst |
| 11:17 BScherrer | torkel: ah yeah, /s/lst/list |
| 11:19 Mrfai | BScherrer: chroot into your nfsroot and check the output of apt-cache show live-initramfs, check source.list there again |
| 11:20 Mrfai | maybe my repository is broken |
| 11:21 BScherrer | Mrfai: I don't know how to chroot to my nfsroot... |
| 11:23 Mrfai | as root |
| 11:23 Mrfai | chroot /srv/fai/nfsroot-i386/live/filesystem.dir |
| 11:23 Mrfai | then you are inside your nfsroot |
| 11:23 Mrfai | you can leave with exit |
| 11:41 BScherrer | Mrfai: "unable to locate package live-initramfs" |
| 11:41 BScherrer | and the sources.list in the chroot only has one line (debian itself) in it |
| 11:43 BScherrer | ah, looks like this is the line defined in make-fai-nfsroot.conf: FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP |
| 11:43 BScherrer | can I define multiple lines in FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP? |

| 12:19 Joelio | 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 Joelio | is this possible? |
| 12:20 Joelio | .. or would we have to have a seperate build network/ |
| 12:20 Joelio | ? |
| 12:30 BScherrer | Joelio: That's just my scenario :) |
| 12:32 BScherrer | 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 Joelio | Ahh, ok, I still need to read through the documentation, but that makes perfect sense |
| 12:33 BScherrer | 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 Joelio | Sure, we're predominantly 32 bit so that's not really an issue, thanks! |
| 12:35 BScherrer | 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 BScherrer | and ask of course |
| 12:38 Mrfai | BScherrer: line 574: cp: Überschreiben des Verzeichnisses #/srv/fai/nfsroot-i386/live/filesystem.dir/etc/apt" mit Nicht-Verzeichnis nicht möglich. |
| 12:38 Mrfai | maybe this is your problem |
| 12:40 BScherrer | interesting |
| 12:46 BScherrer | 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 BScherrer | 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 BScherrer | Mrfai: this error with "...mit Nicht-Verzeichnis" also occurs when I previously delete the whole directory. Do you know why this error pops up? |

| 13:30 Mrfai | BScherrer: because of this line in make-fai-nfsroot: cp -a $cfdir/apt $NFSROOT/etc |
| 13:31 Mrfai | BScherrer: Seems that you have a file /etc/fai-i386/apt instead of a directory |
| 13:31 Mrfai | BScherrer: That's why your sources.lsit is also bad inside the nfsroot |
| 13:32 BScherrer | 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 Mrfai | maybe. not sure. |
| 13:40 BScherrer | Mrfai: no, I moved the file away so that there is only the dir apt, but the error stay |
| 13:42 Mrfai | strange |
| 13:43 Mrfai | 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 BScherrer | Mrfai: Great tip again! I had created a soft link to /etc/fai-amd64/apt and apparently, that wasn't a good idea |

| 16:09 Mrfai | I will answer that mail now |
| 16:15 rgsteele||work | Mrfai: Thanks :) |
