| 00:07 mgoetze | weasel00: bootp? i think you are confused about something |
| 00:08 mgoetze | weasel00: anyway, you can only usefully have one dhcp server in a lan segment. sorry. |
| 00:29 weasel00 | 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 weasel00 | 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 |

| 12:19 edoreld | hmm...a little problem.. |
| 12:19 edoreld | I have files in $FAICONFIG like asterisk.tar.gz, and the tar gets copied to the fai-client with fcopy but if I write the command "tar xzf $target/home/misdn" nothing happens... |

| 13:08 verwilst | hm, how exactly do i get the /srv/fai/config dir? |
| 13:09 verwilst | i only have /srv/fai/nfsroot for now :) |
| 13:10 hrist | by copying one of the examples from /usr/share/doc/fai-dunnowhat/examples or templates |
| 13:11 \sh | mkdir -p /srv/fai/config |
| 13:11 \sh | and then copying the examples into it |
| 13:11 verwilst | myeah, but isnt that done automatically? :) |
| 13:11 verwilst | by some script? |
| 13:11 verwilst | i don't remember copying it manually on my previous test-setup :) |
| 13:11 hrist | you can script it if you want |
| 13:26 verwilst | yeah i know :) |
| 13:26 verwilst | but i thought it was done automatically :) |
| 13:26 verwilst | oh well |
| 13:32 edoreld | was automatic for me if I remember well |
| 13:32 edoreld | just installed the package from debian |
| 14:04 edoreld | Hmm where can I see the syntax for setup-storage? |

| 15:20 allstars | Hi, jaunty-server fai continued... |
| 15:20 allstars | I now have an nfsroot, config and tftp/dhcp setup |
| 15:20 allstars | tftp goes well, nfs-dirs are mounted but then I get |
| 15:20 allstars | mount.nfs: mount point /var/lib/fai/config does not exist |
| 15:21 allstars | 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 allstars | which doesn't help much :( |
| 15:22 mgoetze | hum, well, just mkdir in the nfsroot? |
| 15:22 allstars | Anybody an idea why it says: mount point /var/lib/fai/config does not exist ? |
| 15:22 allstars | nope, dir does exist (and is empty) |
| 15:23 edoreld | wild guess... if you are exporting that directory with nfs, is the path in /etc/exports? |
| 15:24 allstars | the nfs export is : /vol-thishost-3/jumpstart |
| 15:25 allstars | and the path to nfsroot is /jumpstart/fai/jaunty/nfsroot with /jumpstart a symlink to /vol-thishost-3/jumpstart |
| 15:25 edoreld | 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 allstars | should be ok, works for hardy... |
| 15:26 edoreld | ok.. |
| 15:26 allstars | I have the nfsroot on a solaris server, so /etc/dfs/dfstab is used in stead of /etc/exports :) |
| 15:26 edoreld | oh...well u do the path translation :P |
| 15:27 allstars | yes, I'm gonna try without the symlink but I don't give it much chance. |
| 15:27 edoreld | gl |
| 15:28 allstars | I'll keep you informed :) |
| 15:28 edoreld | :) |
| 15:46 allstars | 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 allstars | Changed into /mnt which does exist on a new client. I'm happy. Thx for the responses and help! |
| 15:47 edoreld | good for u ^_^! |
| 15:50 allstars | well, now I get the grub prompt when rebooting... :( |
| 15:51 allstars | I keep on struggling ... ;-) |
| 15:51 edoreld | heh :) |
| 15:51 oz_ | allstars: I think your config missed correct kernel settings |
| 15:54 allstars | ok, I'm into it. Should I edit nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/etc/fai/menu.lst? |
| 15:55 oz_ | allstars: nope. what I mean is that you did not install a kernel on you client |
| 15:57 allstars | I have a /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-server on the installed client |
| 16:00 allstars | Hmmm, no /boot/grub dir on the client, I check my nfsroot again... |
| 16:01 oz_ | allstars: is you host in the GRUB Class? |
| 16:01 oz_ | check shell.log for errors |
| 16:05 allstars | ok, I see should study the config files a bit more, thx for the tip. |

| 16:48 allstars | well, host is in GRUB class but building of grub goes wrong, in shell.log: |
| 16:48 allstars | grub-probe: error: Cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map' |
| 17:02 oz_ | any other grub errors? |
| ErKa (~keryell@APuteaux-154-1-7-163.w83-199.abo.wanadoo.fr) joined #fai. |
| 17:30 allstars | oz_: yes, also other grub errors in shell.log: |
| 17:30 allstars | chroot: cannot run command `/usr/sbin/update-grub': No such file or directory |
| 17:31 allstars | strange because /usr/sbin/update-grub exists... |
| 17:32 allstars | ehh, /target/usr/sbin/update-grub does not exist... |
| 17:32 oz_ | allstars: you should re-check this right after install... |
| 17:32 oz_ | _before_ the first reboot |
| 17:33 oz_ | can you ssh to the box during installation (FAI_FLAG=sshd)? |
| 17:33 allstars | yep, I'am at the prompt right now and did not reboot yet. |
| 17:33 oz_ | you can try< to config grub by hand, than you'll find out what's wrong with it |
| Action: oz_ cannot help too much any longer |
| 17:34 allstars | that's ok, thx so far! |
| 17:34 allstars | I'll manage, just have to read a bit more I guesss. |
| 17:35 allstars | Bit first: |
| 17:35 allstars | weekend! |
| 17:35 allstars | let u know the outcome, bye |
