[00:07] weasel00: bootp? i think you are confused about something [00:08] weasel00: anyway, you can only usefully have one dhcp server in a lan segment. sorry. [00:29] im stuck with the dhcp server.. was trying to use a fai-cd to kick off the install process and have it communicate with the fai-server. I can watch it send packets to the fai-server then it defaults back to the dhcp server. i am missing something [00:32] even if edit the fai-cd kernel loader and tell it to use my fai-server ip address for nfsroot, it still goes back to the dhcp server [00:38] weasel00 (~weasel@66.201.51.66) left irc: [01:01] simNIX (~simNIX@156-60.bbned.dsl.internl.net) joined #fai.

[15:20] I now have an nfsroot, config and tftp/dhcp setup [15:20] tftp goes well, nfs-dirs are mounted but then I get [15:20] mount.nfs: mount point /var/lib/fai/config does not exist [15:21] I get one cache hit in google (http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:5HakvbLbD7YJ:layer-acht.org/fai-irc/fai.log.20090504+%22/var/lib/fai/config+does+not+exist%22&cd=1&hl=nl&ct=clnk&gl=nl) [15:21] which doesn't help much :( [15:22] hum, well, just mkdir in the nfsroot? [15:22] Anybody an idea why it says: mount point /var/lib/fai/config does not exist ? [15:22] nope, dir does exist (and is empty) [15:23] wild guess... if you are exporting that directory with nfs, is the path in /etc/exports? [15:24] the nfs export is : /vol-thishost-3/jumpstart [15:25] and the path to nfsroot is /jumpstart/fai/jaunty/nfsroot with /jumpstart a symlink to /vol-thishost-3/jumpstart [15:25] I have this vague remembrance that I had the same error with a directory I was supposed to be exporting in NFS but I hadn't wrote its path in the /etc/exports file... [15:25] should be ok, works for hardy... [15:26] ok.. [15:26] I have the nfsroot on a solaris server, so /etc/dfs/dfstab is used in stead of /etc/exports :) [15:26] oh...well u do the path translation :P [15:27] yes, I'm gonna try without the symlink but I don't give it much chance. [15:27] gl [15:28] I'll keep you informed :) [15:28] :) [15:46] solved: in nfsroot's etc/fai/fai.conf I had FAI=/var/lib/fai/config which is the mountpoint for the nfs configdir. [15:47] Changed into /mnt which does exist on a new client. I'm happy. Thx for the responses and help! [15:47] good for u ^_^! [15:50] well, now I get the grub prompt when rebooting... :( [15:51] I keep on struggling ... ;-) [15:51] heh :) [15:51] allstars: I think your config missed correct kernel settings [15:54] ok, I'm into it. Should I edit nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/etc/fai/menu.lst? [15:55] allstars: nope. what I mean is that you did not install a kernel on you client [15:57] I have a /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-server on the installed client [16:00] Hmmm, no /boot/grub dir on the client, I check my nfsroot again... [16:01] allstars: is you host in the GRUB Class? [16:01] check shell.log for errors [16:05] ok, I see should study the config files a bit more, thx for the tip.

[17:32] ehh, /target/usr/sbin/update-grub does not exist... [17:32] allstars: you should re-check this right after install... [17:32] _before_ the first reboot [17:33] can you ssh to the box during installation (FAI_FLAG=sshd)? [17:33] yep, I'am at the prompt right now and did not reboot yet. [17:33] you can try< to config grub by hand, than you'll find out what's wrong with it [17:34] Action: oz_ cannot help too much any longer [17:34] that's ok, thx so far! [17:34] I'll manage, just have to read a bit more I guesss. [17:35] Bit first: [17:35] weekend!
