| 11:06 Mrfai | it's optional |
| 11:07 Mrfai | but we use it in the simple examples |

| 17:36 zirpu | I'm using ubuntu hardy as a FAI server. I can't mount the nfsroot from the server due to nfs not being in the kernel built by fai-setup. |
| 17:36 zirpu | i've tried specifying an initrd, but that leaves / as read-only. |
| 17:37 zirpu | anyone have a pointer to how to build a working install kernel that has nfs? |
| 17:37 zirpu | hints and riddles appreciated. |
| 17:39 zirpu | ubuntu hardy (8.04.1) version of fai is 3.2.4+svn4837-0ubuntu2 |
| 17:40 mgoetze | zirpu: you mean the client kernel you're sending via tftp doesn't include nfs support? |
| 17:40 zirpu | right. |
| 17:41 zirpu | is there some option or configuration for fai-setup to build a kernel that includes the modules? |
| 17:41 zirpu | nfs modules i mean. |
| 17:42 mgoetze | does ubuntu have a fai-kernels package, and if so, have you installed it? |
| 17:42 mgoetze | (normally fai-setup doesn't build kernels...) |
| 17:43 zirpu | no, this dist of ubuntu doesn't seem to have fai-kernels available. i'll look further. |
| 17:43 mgoetze | hm weird, it seems to be only in etch, not lenny |
| 17:43 mgoetze | guess it got changed somehow |
| 17:45 zirpu | yes, seems to have changed after 7.04 (feisty). |
| 17:45 zirpu | well, I can use initrd, but the boot sequence doesn't remount it read-write or use the unionfs. i'll read further. |
| 17:46 mgoetze | guess i can't help you, sorry. you'll have to hope someone else wakes up :) |
| 17:46 zirpu | heh. thanks. |

| 17:58 lazyb0y | mgoetze, zirpu: fai-kernels is obsolete since fai 3.2.x |
| 17:58 lazyb0y | a normal kernel is used. |
| 17:59 lazyb0y | but normally, every "standard" initrd gets nfs modules and can easily boot nfs |
| 17:59 lazyb0y | since 3.2 you have to use initrd, yes |
| 18:00 lazyb0y | and livehelper stuff. |
| 18:00 lazyb0y | but that all should be set up correctly with make-fai-nfsroot and fai-chboot |
| 18:00 lazyb0y | (but I did not test it with ubuntu hardy yet) |

| 18:02 zirpu | ok. thanks. |
| 18:03 zirpu | initrd works, but either the unionfs remount doesn't work or doesn't happen. i'm trying to figure out which. |
| fxcp (~ctp@p578b5976.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) joined #fai. |
| 18:07 lazyb0y | zirpu: you might post the exact error message here or on the mailing list! |
| 18:08 zirpu | i'm using vmware, and haven't been able to see the error before it scrolls off. i'm trhing to find some logging for the console. |
| 18:11 juri_ | zirpu: try qemu, use -curses frontend? |
| 18:19 zirpu | juri_: thanks. i'm trying various break= parameters to get the error messages. |
| 18:45 zirpu | blah. no luck in getting the error message at mount for nfsroot. scrolls too fast, and the various break= parameters didn't work. |

| 22:05 zirpu | next problem, apparently the client is trying to mount /root. so far i haven't figured out where that's coming from. |
| 22:06 mgoetze | zirpu: as the root file system, you mean? |
| 22:06 zirpu | i'm not certain yet. i see on the server this: |
| 22:07 zirpu | Dec 17 22:02:19 ops03 mountd[25002]: refused unmount request from 10.1.1.110 for /root (/): not exported |
| 22:08 zirpu | currently, the client is in some loop. it apparently mounts the /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir but then goes into a loop. |
| 22:08 zirpu | i'm guessing that whatever script is doing this is w/in the initrd. |
| 22:09 zirpu | this loop happens in the boot sequence when it says: Begin: Running /scripts/nfs-premount ... |
| 22:09 zirpu | then 'mount: Device or resource busy', which i think is the / unmount above., then goes through the dhcp reneg on the ip, and back to nfs-premount. |
| 22:10 mgoetze | have you had a look at the contents of /scripts/nfs-premount? |
| 22:11 zirpu | the only thing i've found is an empty directory called nfs-premount |
| 22:12 mgoetze | in the initrd? |
| 22:12 zirpu | looking now. |
| 22:15 zirpu | nothing in the pre-mount. |
| 22:15 zirpu | gah. |
| 22:15 mgoetze | hm, fix your initrd? :) |
| 22:16 zirpu | looks like i'll have to. not sure what the problem is though. |
| 22:16 zirpu | i didn't find anything in the mailling list about this problem. so i'm worried that i'm dain bramaged. :) |
