| 06:50 verwilst | morning! |
| 06:50 oz_ | verwilst: it's looking for /scripts/live because boot=live |
| 06:51 verwilst | oz_: that's what i thought :) |
| 06:51 verwilst | but what is that boot=live stuffs? |
| 06:51 verwilst | tried looking in the manuals |
| 06:51 verwilst | but they are pretty outdated /me thinks? |
| 06:59 verwilst | oz_: any ideas what i can do next? :) |
| 07:01 verwilst | hm |
| 07:01 verwilst | just installed live-helper live-initramfs |
| 07:06 oz_ | verwilst: are those pkgs in /etc/fai/NFSROOT ? |
| 07:07 oz_ | that should do the trick...you have to regenerate the nfsroot |
| Action: oz_ changes places |
| kai_bo (~kai@statdsl-085-016-072-173.ewe-ip-backbone.de) joined #fai. |
| 07:12 verwilst | oz_: i guess this isnt in the docs? :) |
| 07:12 verwilst | added them to NFSROOT and redoing it |
| 07:14 verwilst | i have to rebuild the initrd.img? |
| Mrfai (~lange@kueppers.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai. |
| 07:40 verwilst | ok, getting further.. |
| 07:40 verwilst | now i have to patch in unionfs :P |
| 07:40 verwilst | wtf :D |

| 07:59 verwilst | oz_: do i need funionfs installed in the nfsroot as well? |
| 08:00 verwilst | mount: mounting aufs on /root failed: No such device |
| 08:00 verwilst | Registering unionfs 2.5.1 (for 2.6.29-rc2) in dmesg, so kernelspace is OK |
| 08:07 sepski | i see this error, Cannot satisfy pre-depends for lvcreate -n ltspwapfiles -L 3000 vg_system: vg_enabled_vg_system,lv_rm_vg_system/var+opt+ltsp+swapfiles,lv_rm_vg_system/var,lv_rm_vg_system/swap,lv_rm_vg_system/root,lv_rm_vg_system/opt,lv_rm_vg_system/usr -- system left untouched fai 3.2.16 in lenny |
| 08:17 verwilst | hm, aufs is even more experimental... |
| ErKa (keryell@dhcp1.info.enstb.org) joined #fai. |
| 08:18 verwilst | don't know what the devs were smoking when they did their technical selections, but i'll have some of that as well ;) |
| 08:30 verwilst | raaah |
| Action: verwilst chuckles towards systemimager :) |
| 08:45 verwilst | hm, starting it with "FAI_ACTION=install debug" to the kernel cmd seems to make it work, kinda |
| 08:48 verwilst | bleh |
| 08:48 verwilst | /usr/lib/fai/create_resolv_conf: line 11: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied |
| 08:49 sepski | resolvconf at work ? |
| 08:49 verwilst | say what? |
| 08:53 Mrfai | verwilst: what are you doing there? You should try an installation with plain FAI packages and the default kernel. If your hardware needs some newer kernel, try to get some old hardware, and make your first FAI experiences with the old hardware, which should work out-of-the box. If this works, then you can do the next step and use the hardware which seems to cause problems to you currently. |
| Action: Mrfai brb |
| 08:53 verwilst | i have fai experience from 3.1 :P |
| 08:53 verwilst | it's not the hardware |
| 08:53 verwilst | it's the stupid aufs alpha thing :D |
| 08:54 verwilst | i guess unionfs itself isn't good? |
| 08:54 verwilst | it should be aufs? |
| 08:54 verwilst | which is only available from a git repository? |
| 08:59 h01ger | verwilst, are you using debian? |
| 09:01 verwilst | yeah |
| 09:02 verwilst | but with my own kernel |
| 09:02 h01ger | why that? |
| 09:03 verwilst | because the default one can't find my hardware ;) |
| 09:05 h01ger | which default? .26? .28? .29? |
| 09:07 verwilst | .26 |
| 09:08 verwilst | [ 10.674367] firmware: requesting bnx2-06-4.0.5.fw |
| 09:08 verwilst | that's my NIC |
| 09:08 verwilst | which hangs a long time |
| 09:09 verwilst | then fails [ 79.968460] bnx2: Can't load firmware file bnx2-06-4.0.5.fw |
| 09:09 verwilst | [ 80.140711] bnx2: probe of 0000:05:00.0 failed with error -2 |
| 09:09 verwilst | which means no network |
| 09:10 verwilst | oh, [ 158.088119] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! |
| 09:10 verwilst | so i need my own kernel |
| 09:10 verwilst | which works fine |
| 09:10 verwilst | apart from the alpha-code that should be included for fai |
| 09:11 h01ger | build your kernel with the same options as the debian kernel or, install the bnx2 firmware package in the chroot and rebuild the initrd |
| 09:15 verwilst | ah, there is a firmware package? |
| 09:15 verwilst | how come my kernel doesn't need it? |
| 09:16 h01ger | you use vanilla sources? |
| 09:16 oz_ | where you got that kernel from? |
| 09:16 oz_ | vanilla debian? |
| 09:16 h01ger | no. debian has it removed. upstream has it |
| 09:17 verwilst | yeah pristine sources |
| 09:17 oz_ | h01ger: yea debian has to remove it because of copyright/license issues, right? |
| 09:18 h01ger | yes. upstream doesnt care |
| 09:18 h01ger | verwilst, apt-cache search firmware |
| 09:19 h01ger | http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/d-i_firmware_loading/ |
| 09:19 verwilst | h01ger: yeah got it, it was in non-free which wasn't enabled here |
| 09:20 mgoetze | verwilst: see, this is the point... to make you aware that you are using non-free crap ;) |
| 09:20 mgoetze | (it works pretty good for non-free crap, though) |
| 09:20 verwilst | myeah, i would rather just use my own kernel though ;) |
| 09:20 verwilst | but i guess i can use the debian one for the install ;) |
| 09:29 Mrfai | verwilst: you should you a plain Debian kernel and install additionally the nx2 firmware package into the nfsroot. Then the initrd should contain all things to boot your hardware. Also FAI 3.2.X uses aufs as default, so no need to care about unionfs |
| 09:30 verwilst | it works |
| 09:30 verwilst | now it nags about FAI_ACTION ;) |
| 09:30 verwilst | so i might get there today ;) |
| 09:30 verwilst | i guess it shouldn't be specified on the kernel cmd line? |
| 09:31 Mrfai | FAI_ACTION is defined on the kernel command line. BTW, use fai-chboot :-) |
| 09:31 verwilst | ah, it is :) ok |
| 09:31 verwilst | i am btw ;) |
| 09:31 verwilst | so i just specify "install" as action? |
| 09:35 verwilst | next hurdle: Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "grub" :P |
| 09:35 verwilst | for every package it tries to install |
| 09:36 verwilst | ah, W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving 'ftp.debian.org' |
| 09:45 verwilst | any hints on the best way to setup another dns server ( if that's the problem? ) |
| 09:45 verwilst | i edited the etc/resolv.conf in the nfsroot but i don't think that's very good ;) |
| 09:45 verwilst | it also doesn't work |
| 09:50 verwilst | hehe this is quite the challenge :D |
| 09:53 Mrfai | have a look at NFSROOT_ETC_HOSTS in make-fai-nfsroot.conf |
| 09:57 verwilst | dns should be available, no? |
| 09:58 verwilst | i need to add ftp.debian.org to my hosts file then? |
| 11:18 sepski | how do you guys make sure you keep the same ssh host keys between installs ? |

| 12:29 incognitu | hello! |
| 12:29 incognitu | i just installed a completely fresh debian system with kernel 2.6.29.1 |
| 12:30 incognitu | i want to isntall this on more pcs using fai |
| 12:30 incognitu | but dont know exactly where to start |
| 12:31 sepski | incognitu, fai is not a imaging system, but you can start with http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/fai-guide/ |
| 12:35 incognitu | i also cant load/import images? |
| 12:36 incognitu | for deploying on pcs |
| 12:39 sepski | read the introduction in the link i sent you, and you will know a lot more about what fai does well, and what it does not. |
