| 13:06 mgoetze | can i use variables under debconf? e.g. "exim4/mailname: $hostname"? |
| 13:14 mgoetze | oh, it's not the syntax with ":" as in debconf-show :( |
| 13:15 mgoetze | "exim4/mailname string $hostname", then? |
| Action: h01ger doubts you can |
| 13:18 mgoetze | wtf... scripts/FAIBASE/40-misc messed up my /etc/mailname |
| 13:18 mgoetze | it now has the proper fqdn on the first line, and "${HOSTNAME}" on the second line |
| 13:24 mgoetze | shouldn't $HOSTNAME be defined automatically by FAI, and available in cfengine scripts? |
| ErKa (keryell@m6.wifi.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds |
| 14:21 zirpu | i set it myself just to be sure. usually it's set to just the node name, not the fqdn. |
| siggg (~jean@tra78-5-88-172-128-32.fbx.proxad.net) left irc: Remote host closed the connection |
| 14:28 mgoetze | yeah i just have a script doing "hostname --fqdn > /etc/mailname" now |
| ErKa (keryell@dhcp1.info.enstb.org) joined #fai. |
| 14:37 Stere0 | a $FQDN variable would be nice then |
| 14:38 maswan | Or just set hostname to the fqdn, that's what we do |
| 14:38 oz__ | FQDN=`hostname -f` ? |
| 14:42 maswan | also, if you are doing non-linuxes (solaris, aix, etc), remember that any switches to hostname are GNUisms |
| siggg (~jean@tra78-5-88-172-128-32.fbx.proxad.net) joined #fai. |
| 14:44 mgoetze | yes, i definitely need a version of FAI that supports solaris and aix as well :) |
| 14:46 stockholm | i would install gnutools on both right away |
| 14:46 stockholm | first thing |
| 14:46 zirpu | anyone have a pointer on how to rebuild the initrd? i want to put in some debugging output in the /scripts/live but apparently initrd isn't just a gzip'd cpio archive. |
| 14:47 maswan | stockholm: That they are installed is no guarantee they are first in the path from various scipts. |
| Nick change: Stere0 -> Stereo |
| 14:47 maswan | mgoetze: we do both of those, so.. |
| 14:48 mgoetze | maswan: with fai? |
| Action: mgoetze hasn't even been able to get AIX CDs yet, boohoo :( |
| 14:49 maswan | mgoetze: Yes. Well, base OS installed through "normal" means, but just with the very basics, then FAI for all the additional software and customisation |
| 14:49 mgoetze | hm, interesting |
| 14:50 maswan | I think we might even generate the solaris jumpstart configuration from FAI info, but I'm not sure. I'm not the one directly involved in that bit. :) |
| 15:18 Mrfai | zirpu: If you chroot into the nfsroot you can rebuild the initrd using dpkg-reconfigure linux-image.... |

| 17:41 zirpu | gah! so i have a server with 2 broadcom interfaces. plugging both in so ipconfig doesn't hang seems to work. now i get a kernel panic during mountroot apparently. |
| 17:41 zirpu | no other clues sadly. getting closer though. |
| 18:19 zirpu | so definately having kernel panic in mountroot. i'm not sure how to diagnose this at this point. any pointers? |
| Nic0 (~courtel@fw.tls.cena.fr) left irc: Quit: Leaving. |
| 18:45 mgoetze | zirpu: tcpdump on the nfs server? |
| 18:50 Mrfai | add break=mount to the kernel command line (via fai-chboot for e.g.) |
| 18:50 Mrfai | then you get the shell perompt of the initd and you can debug |
| 18:50 zirpu | what can i do to debug at that shell prompt? |
| 19:07 Mrfai | call mount, ipconfig, read the file live.log,.... |
| sepone (~seppity@ti411310a080-3729.bb.online.no) joined #fai. |
| 19:09 zirpu | i'm not seeing a live.log file. |

| 21:32 zirpu | ipconfig says no devices to configure, but ifconfig -a shows both eth0 and eth1. weird. |
| 21:34 zirpu | ah, ipconfig wants the device name as an arg. |
| 21:42 zirpu | so i think my problem is the 2 interface problem, and trying to boot and install off the 2nd interface. |
| 21:43 mgoetze | well, i can use etch fai just fine with two interfaces... |
| 21:43 mgoetze | but i guess you are using some newer version |
