| 05:22 mugwump | ... root filesystem not writable on FAI 3.2.8 ? |
| 05:23 mugwump | 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 mugwump | is there some kind of unionfs magic supposed to be happening? |
| 05:23 mugwump | I can't see where that's defined, either.. |
| Action: mugwump finds http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/FAI_3.2_on_Etch |
| 05:34 mugwump | hmm, the deb sources line on that page is wrong |
| 06:09 mugwump | ok. So now I'm booting with a standard kernel |
| 06:09 mugwump | doesn't seem to be mounting root.. |
| 06:11 mugwump | 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 mugwump | ok. So now I'm booting with the *standard* kernel :) |
| 06:14 mugwump | and I get a busybox shell |
| 06:15 mugwump | /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 mugwump | This busybox initrd image can't mount NFS shares.. |
| 06:25 mugwump | Do I need lenny kernels? |
| 06:26 mugwump | ok, over and out from GMT+13 ... hope to be getting some info am morgen ... tchuß! :) |

| 10:01 mgoetze | mugwump: but you're not supposed to boot with the standard kernel. apt-get install fai-kernels... |
| 10:02 h01ger | fai-kernels is long dead |
| 10:03 stockholm | h01ger: do you highlight on fai-kernels? |
| 10:03 h01ger | yes |
| 10:04 h01ger | i have highlights on some of the stuff i maintain(ed) |
| 10:04 mgoetze | i guess stockholm highlights on h01ger ;) |
| 10:05 stockholm | mgoetze: no, i was reading the question too and was to lazy to read scrollback properly. it might have been you talked woody |
| 10:05 h01ger | mgoetze, thats a theory i still cant deny completly :) |
| 10:06 stockholm | h01ger: i dont highlight on you. sorry :-) |
| 10:07 h01ger | mgoetze, to give you a longer answer: fai 3.2 works (out of the box) without fai-kernels, etch has 3.1.8, but its trivial to use 3.2.x on etch - thats why i said fai-kernels is dead |
| 10:07 h01ger | stockholm, :(((( |
| 10:07 mgoetze | h01ger: well, seems to be not *that* trivial, as mugwump was having some problem or other, but oh well :) |
| Action: stockholm hugs h01ger |
| Action: h01ger hugs stockholm back |
| 10:08 stockholm | mgoetze: i did not even notice when i switched. |
| 10:08 h01ger | btw, happy gnu year to #fai too!! |
| 10:08 mgoetze | joar frohes neues |
| 10:08 mgoetze | . o O ( happy gnu year ... does that mean hurd will be released this year? ) |
| 10:08 h01ger | :) |
| 10:08 stockholm | "bra fortsättning" wie der schwede sagen würde |

| 16:30 Stere0 | are any of you going to the fosdem conference in brussels next month? |

| 22:11 mugwump | darn, still no joy |
| 22:11 mugwump | The initrd image in the NFSroot isn't the same as the one in /boot ... do I need to do anything special? |
| 22:12 mgoetze | i can't imagine where you are getting all these problems i never had :) |
| 22:14 mugwump | is there some step that builds a custom initrd ? |
| 22:14 mgoetze | it shouldn't be necessary |
| 22:15 mugwump | so, the stock debian initrd is used? |
| 22:15 stockholm | yes |
| 22:15 stockholm | i customized mine though |
| 22:15 stockholm | as i needed to make sure that the raid controlers were detected in the right order |
| 22:17 mugwump | ok. so do you know how to pull it apart? It's a bit of a hermetically sealed box to me at the moment |
| 22:18 mgoetze | mugwump: have a look in /etc/initramfs-tools |
| 22:19 mugwump | If I can find out what is supposed to do the NFS mount then I might be able to debug it and figure out ... ok |
| 22:19 mgoetze | mugwump: also, the initrd should be something like a gzipped cpio archive if you want to inpect the result |
| 22:20 mugwump | cool. what's the entry point? |
| 22:21 mgoetze | uh... dunno... haven't looked at one for a while :) |
| 22:23 mugwump | darn, no job control, can't stop that ping :) |
| 22:23 mgoetze | heh |
| 22:23 mugwump | nfsmount 192.168.2.6:/srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir /tmp/mountrpc failed: 2 |
