| 00:14 tanjix | i've setup fai-nfsroot on debian lenny, and when booting FAI on a client i get the message: could not find ramdisk-image: initrd.img-install |
| 00:14 tanjix | what can i do? :( |
| 00:27 lazyb0y | tanjix: did you configure tftp properly? |
| 00:27 lazyb0y | and was make-fai-nfsroot successful? |
| 00:28 tanjix | lazyb0y: ned, make-fai-nfsroot was successful |
| 00:28 tanjix | and tftp is correct in my oppinion |
| 00:28 tanjix | i see the tftp in the process list |
| 00:28 lazyb0y | how's the ps entry of tftp looking? |
| 00:29 lazyb0y | on which directory is it running? |
| 00:29 tanjix | root 2652 0.0 0.1 2140 172 ? Ss Mar17 0:00 /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l -s /srv/tftp/fai |
| 00:29 lazyb0y | and what's in /srv/tftp/fai |
| 00:30 tanjix | resetrescue:~# ls /srv/tftp/fai |
| 00:30 tanjix | initrd.img-2.6.28-starhosting-kernel initrd.img-2.6.28-starhosting-kernel.new pxelinux.0 pxelinux.cfg vmlinuz-2.6.28-starhosting-kernel vmlinuz-install |
| 00:30 tanjix | resetrescue:~# |
| 00:30 tanjix | may be it is because there is no "initrd.img-install"? |
| 00:30 tanjix | but then i ask myself, where does this non-existent name come from? |
| 00:30 lazyb0y | tanjix: hmm, you seem to have a special custom kernel |
| 00:31 lazyb0y | the default options of fai.-chboot work with default kernel names :) |
| 00:32 lazyb0y | either you should check in man-fai-chboot if you can set the initrd name there, if that doesn't work, either make a link to the default name, or manually edit /src/tftp/fai/pxelinux.cfg/YOURHOSTSPXEFILE |
| 00:32 lazyb0y | oh, but you didn't ask us, you asked yourself - sorry for answereing without being asked :) |
| 00:33 tanjix | ;) |
| 00:33 tanjix | i will try it, thy lazyb0y |
| 00:35 tanjix | the symlink does not work :( |
| 00:37 lazyb0y | I usually work with the defaults, or hand-edit the pxe config file |
| 00:37 tanjix | now i edited the pxe file and it works, but a new problem appears |
| 00:38 tanjix | during boot i get messages: mount call failed: 13 |
| 00:38 lazyb0y | that's the fun with computintg - you go from one prob to the next ;) |
| 00:39 lazyb0y | can you mount your nfsroot export from anywhere? |
| 00:39 tanjix | how can i test this? |
| 00:39 lazyb0y | and: sometimes a mount error appears about 3 times before it starts and works then - it helps to wait a minute or so... |
| 00:40 lazyb0y | test this? -> try to mount the nfsroot export from some machine in your network |
| 00:40 tanjix | yes, how? :) don't know how to ... :( |
| 00:40 lazyb0y | maybe the first thing you could do is restart the nfs server, and check what exportfs says |
| 00:40 tanjix | and it does not work automatically as i noe got a shell on the client with (intiramsfs) prompt |
| 00:41 lazyb0y | aehm, ok, nfs.newbie... |
| 00:41 tanjix | you mean the nfs-kernel-server to be restarted? |
| 00:41 lazyb0y | /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server reload |
| 00:42 tanjix | Re-exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon.... |
| 00:42 tanjix | that's all i get |
| 00:42 lazyb0y | yes, when the nfsroot is created, and export entries are added, this is not done automaticvally - it could disturb a running file server |
| 00:42 lazyb0y | what does "exportfs" say? |
| 00:43 tanjix | resetrescue:~# exportfs |
| 00:43 tanjix | 77.37.0.0/17 |
| 00:43 tanjix | 93.127.128.0/17 |
| 00:43 tanjix | 77.37.0.0/17 |
| 00:43 tanjix | 93.127.128.0/17 |
| 00:43 tanjix | 77.37.0.0/17 |
| 00:43 tanjix | 93.127.128.0/17 |
| 00:43 tanjix | resetrescue:~# |
| 00:43 tanjix | mh, there is something missing.. sec |
| 00:43 lazyb0y | ? |
| 00:43 tanjix | http://nopaste.info/f9c4718bf9.html |
| 00:44 tanjix | the paths were not pasted here :( |
| 00:44 lazyb0y | are these the ip ranges you're install client is in? |
| 00:44 tanjix | yes |
| 00:44 lazyb0y | then check again if it works |
| 00:45 mgoetze | looks more like an entire AS if you ask me |
| 00:45 lazyb0y | AS? |
| 00:45 mgoetze | autonomous system |
| 00:45 mgoetze | in this case AS44146 |
| 00:46 tanjix | no, not working. same with mount call failed: 13 |
| 00:46 lazyb0y | then try to mount from somewhere else in these network ranges |
| 00:47 lazyb0y | mount -t nfs /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir /mnt |
| 00:49 tanjix | the syslog on the nfs server says an "authenticated mount" request, but the server, where i mounted it, does not give back me the console or it will still take a while |
| 00:49 tanjix | ah now it's back |
| 00:50 tanjix | but it says: /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir: can't read superblock |
| 00:51 tanjix | from the local machine, the mount itself works |
| 00:51 lazyb0y | hmm |
| 00:52 lazyb0y | is it possible that there is some network filtering or something in between? |
| 00:52 lazyb0y | ls anything inside the directory /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir on the server? |
| 00:52 tanjix | no, this all worked before where the FAI was based on etch. After an upgrade to lenny, there came several "problems" up |
| 00:53 tanjix | yes there are things in /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir |
| 00:54 lazyb0y | hmm, there is a thread on the mailing list with this superblock error |
| 00:55 lazyb0y | https://lists.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/linux-fai/2008-September/006145.html |
| 00:58 tanjix | mh |
| 00:58 tanjix | the pxe-conf-file says: |
| 00:58 tanjix | nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot |
| 00:58 tanjix | mustn't this be ip:/srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir |
| 00:58 tanjix | ? |
| 01:08 tanjix | well, the mount error is gone now ;) new one ;) ... now it comes up a "nice" screen with the debiuan-ascii-logo titled "BOOT FAILED!" and the description: "no supported file system images found at /live" |
| 01:10 mgoetze | so your kernel doesn't support aufs or whatever it is fai uses in lenny |
| 01:11 tanjix | mh but when i look in /live/ i see the mounted files? |
| 01:12 mgoetze | sure, but you can't write anything there, can you? |
| 01:12 tanjix | doing a "touch /live/image/test" brings a "read-only filesystem |
| 01:13 mgoetze | you see |
| 01:13 tanjix | ok, building a new kernel then... ;) what must i enable? |
| 01:13 mgoetze | *shrug* dunno |
| 01:13 mgoetze | aufs or something like that |
| 01:14 tanjix | AFS? (Andrew File system) ? |
| 01:14 mgoetze | no |
| 01:16 tanjix | mh i don't see anything called aufs |
| 01:16 mgoetze | some union filesystem thingy |
| 01:18 tanjix | can't locate anything :/ |
| 01:19 mgoetze | maybe look in fai wiki or mailing lists |
| 01:25 lazyb0y | tanjix: you could look at the default config of a default debian kernel and compare it with yours |
| Action: lazyb0y 's tired... ask the mailing list if you can't get further here... |

| 14:14 Mrfai | DHCP is only configured if the host belongs to the class DHCPC. Otherwise static IP will be written ti the interfaces file |
