[09:53] (especially from an i386 server, without having an amd64 server on which to build the nfsroot?) [10:24] yewp. I just did that. [10:24] My fai server is running etch on i386 (but an 64bit kernel). I use debootstrap from lenny and fai 3.2.17~lenny1 with this recent patch [10:25] Now I created a /etc/fai64 directory, changes few things there and created a nfsroot for amd64. This works great [10:26] here are the diffs [10:26] diff -r /etc/fai /etc/fai64/ [10:26] diff -r /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf /etc/fai64/make-fai-nfsroot.conf [10:26] 6c6 [10:26] < NFSROOT=/srv/fai/nfsroot [10:26] --- [10:26] > NFSROOT=/srv/fai/nfsroot64 [10:26] 32c32 [10:26] < FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--exclude=dhcp-client,info" [10:26] --- [10:26] > FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--arch amd64 --exclude=dhcp-client,info" [10:26] that's all [10:27] then call make-fai-nfsroot -v -C /etc/fai64 [10:31] Mrfai: that's great news, thanks [10:32] not 100% fai-related, but it's pretty much in the same line, after the fai'ing, i watch the server come up with console redirection, which looks fine, only the actual prompt never shows [10:33] must have sth to do with output to the wrong console i guess [10:33] maybe someone here encountered this as well [10:37] oh [10:37] nm [10:37] ;) [10:38] Action: mgoetze won't mind, then :) [10:51] tanjix (tanjix@mozart.star-hosting.de) joined #fai.

[11:43] how should i handle nfsroot customizations? [11:43] like different hosts file, ... [11:44] different since they are in different geografical locations byut the chroots are 99% equal.. [11:45] h01ger, thanks ill look into that. [11:46] fai softupdate that installs a chroot inside the pxe running fai install of the server.. [11:46] perhaps easier to do it after the server have booted again... [11:46] fun :) [12:00] siggg (~jean@tra78-1-87-88-161-80.dsl.club-internet.fr) left irc: Quit: Leaving.
