[05:23] I can't see how the fai script expects to be able to create, eg, /var/run/network, without setting up a tmpfs somewhere first [05:23] is there some kind of unionfs magic supposed to be happening? [05:23] I can't see where that's defined, either.. [05:27] Action: mugwump finds http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/FAI_3.2_on_Etch [05:34] hmm, the deb sources line on that page is wrong [06:09] ok. So now I'm booting with a standard kernel [06:09] doesn't seem to be mounting root.. [06:11] wow, that's so weird. depending on the order of kernel command line arguments, I seem to get either no display, or display to the serial console on this sun box [06:14] ok. So now I'm booting with the *standard* kernel :) [06:14] and I get a busybox shell [06:15] /proc/cmdline is ip=dhcp FAI_ACTION=install root=/dev/nfs FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt nfsroot=192.168.2.6:/srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir,v2,tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 boot=live initrd=initrd.img-2.6.18-6-amd64 console=ttyS0,115200 BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-amd [06:24] This busybox initrd image can't mount NFS shares..
