[11:01] <edoreld> I have this script that should launch a couple of dialogs on fai-client boot, but however the line 21 doesn't get executed http://pastebin.com/d458958b7
[11:02] <edoreld> when I choose option on line 14, line 17 defines the class STATION, am I mistaken?
[11:02] <mgoetze> yes, you are mistaken
[11:03] <edoreld> so why doesn't STATION get defined?
[11:03] <mgoetze> it gets defined as a class somewhere around line 40
[11:04] <edoreld> ah, u mean it won't get defined in the same script?
[11:04] <mgoetze> right
[11:04] <edoreld> hmm tricky...
[11:29] <edoreld> Can I define 2 different classes in one script like this -> http://pastebin.com/d4d6594b3 <- ?
[11:32] <mgoetze> of course not
[11:32] <mgoetze> read this: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[11:40] <edoreld> Nevermind, I found out how to define more than 1 class in 1 script ^_^, thanks for the guide though :)
[11:42] <mgoetze> edoreld: the reaon i recommended the guide was not just because it would tell you how to define more than 1 class, but also because your question demonstrated a basic nonunderstanding of the whole topic ;)
[11:46] <edoreld> I definitely need to learn more about bash ^_^
[11:47] <edoreld> and think my scripts more :P

[13:58] <verwilst> as seen here
[13:58] <verwilst> any ideas?
[14:02] <telmich> can I somehow tell fai "if class X is define, define also classes A and B"?
[14:04] <mgoetze> ifclass X; then echo "A B"; fi
[14:04] <telmich> argh, way too easy

[16:22] <EvilDennisR> Greetings.. I'm having an issue trying to FAI an HP ProLiant BL460c G6. I'm getting a kernel panic at bootup. We have some ProLiant BL460c G1's that I've FAI'd no problem. I'm using fai-server 3.2.17 (I should prolly get 3.2.20), 2.6.28-11 vmlinuz - Anyone have any ideas ?
[16:29] <mgoetze> well, it might help if you specified what sort of kernel panic
[16:35] <EvilDennisR> We're using ubuntu. vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-server
[16:35] <EvilDennisR> (Not sure if that helped ;)
[16:37] <EvilDennisR> Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
[16:37] <EvilDennisR> (Had to pull up the ilo)
[16:39] <EvilDennisR> http://wi.mit.edu/dennisr/FAI_screenshot.png
[16:39] <EvilDennisR> screenshot of the kernel panic
[16:39] <EvilDennisR> not much info though
[16:40] <EvilDennisR> I'll be back, meeting..
[16:51] <mgoetze> well, ubuntu is generally known not to work very well with fai
[16:57] <oz_> as a server system I found ubuntu generally...unfit.
[16:58] <maswan> mgoetze: Oh? Works pretty good for us..
[17:04] <maswan> of course, very new hardware often have problems stable kernels. :/
[17:11] <mgoetze> maswan: well, that's good for you :) i often see people with problems in here, though
[17:12] <EvilDennisR> back..
[17:12] <EvilDennisR> Yeah, these blades are pretty new
[17:12] <EvilDennisR> I haven't had a problem up until now using ubuntu
[17:13] <maswan> EvilDennisR: do the ~same kernel work if booted off virtual media or some other kind of non-netboot method?
[17:13] <EvilDennisR> although I do consider "ubuntu server" to be crap
[17:14] <EvilDennisR> maswan: I haven't tested it, although we did successfully install 9.04 (which is the 2.6.28-11 kernel) via a cd
[17:14] <EvilDennisR> but that was with the desktop version or whatever
[17:14] <EvilDennisR> so I think the problem has to do with netbooting
[17:15] <EvilDennisR> I was going to try fai with a usb stick/cd, but I hadn't given up all hope yet to try it =)
[17:17] <EvilDennisR> fai via pxe boot is our optimum goal. The blade chassis share a usb port and cdrom, so I woudlnt be able to fai more than one machine at a time
[17:18] <maswan> EvilDennisR: well, if you have the pxe server up already, you could try netbooting d-i instead of fai and see if that works?
[17:19] <maswan> EvilDennisR: http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ I mean
[17:19] <maswan> this kind of matters to me personally, because I'm looking at those blades right now for purchasing
[17:19] <EvilDennisR> oof!
[17:20] <EvilDennisR> I've never used the netboot before
[17:21] <EvilDennisR> I have a custom install going with fai (obviously), these machines are part of an LSF cluster, they just run jobs
[17:22] <EvilDennisR> so I have them pretty much stripped down with just the apps and libraries they need
[17:22] <EvilDennisR> I would hate to have to set that up again with the netboot </lazyness>
[17:23] <maswan> yeah, it's just part of figuring out what part broke. if the kernel doesn't boot in that way either, it isn't really a fai issue, but a jaunty issue
[17:23] <EvilDennisR> I suppose I could build a lenny or sid nfsroot, and replace the base.tgz with the jaunty one and see if that works
[17:24] <EvilDennisR> What kernel is lenny running?
[17:24] <mgoetze> 2.6.26
[17:24] <EvilDennisR> hmm, well it doesn't seem to work with 2.6.28, so maybe sid
[17:25] <EvilDennisR> what is sid running for a kernel, .29?
[17:25] <mgoetze> yes, i think so
[17:27] <EvilDennisR> ok, let me build an nfsroot with sid and see if that boots
[17:27] <EvilDennisR> sucks that I don't have a local mirror for debian =(
[17:27] <maswan> EvilDennisR: the netboot stuff is fairly easy to just drop into the tftp dir, it has an initrd that brings up a debian-installer or so
[17:28] <EvilDennisR> maswan: won't that install the stock ubuntu server though?
[17:28] <maswan> EvilDennisR: just saying it could be useful to verify that it is a kernel issue, not the initrd missing something, etc, etc.
[17:28] <EvilDennisR> ok, I see what you're saying
[17:29] <EvilDennisR> well the one blade we installed ubuntu desktop on I copied over the kernel and initrd and tried to use that with fai, still a no-go
[17:37] <EvilDennisR> these blades take 3+ minutes to boot before they even start pxe
[17:38] <EvilDennisR> frustrating having to wait =)
[17:45] ErKa (keryell@dhcp1.info.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds
[17:47] <EvilDennisR> maswan: the netboot installer loaded up
[17:48] <EvilDennisR> hmm, this is interesting "No network interfaces detected"
[17:48] <EvilDennisR> that might be why its kernel panicing
[17:48] <EvilDennisR> can't mount nfsroot maybe
[17:50] <EvilDennisR> (and I have both nics on this blade connected to the network)
[17:54] <EvilDennisR> There was an issue with the BL460c G1's where I had to disable the 2nd nic because it would try and use that instead of the first one to mount the nfsroot. It would just hang
[17:56] <EvilDennisR> no network cards detected with the karmic netboot either (http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic//main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/)
[17:57] <EvilDennisR> let me try the sid netboot
[17:59] <maswan> EvilDennisR: Ok, thanks for checking. Maybe ubuntu forgot to add some modules to the initrd?
[17:59] <EvilDennisR> perhaps?
[17:59] <EvilDennisR> I wouldn't doubt it =)
[18:00] <maswan> EvilDennisR: bnx2x is the driver for the onboard nic, right?
[18:00] <EvilDennisR> not sure
[18:00] <EvilDennisR> yeah
[18:01] <EvilDennisR> or well, atleast its in lsmod on this one machine I built from the cd =)
[18:04] <EvilDennisR> hmm, the sid netboot doesn't seem to work at all =)
[18:05] <EvilDennisR> the lenny netboot has been updated recently (last month), sid's was updated in january
[18:05] <EvilDennisR> let me try lenny
[18:09] <maswan> EvilDennisR: this part is less impressive by ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/linux/+bug/360966
[18:09] <EvilDennisR> no ethernet card was detected with lenny, although it does provide me with a list of ones to choose from
[18:09] <EvilDennisR> maswan: FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU-
[18:10] <EvilDennisR> there is no bnx2x driver on the lenny netboot
[18:10] <EvilDennisR> theres a bnx2, but it doesn't work obviously..
[18:11] <EvilDennisR> maswan: ..so now what?
[18:12] <maswan> EvilDennisR: I'm trying to remember what to do in this case. I've been here once before (for an eee, quite the oposite part of the spectrum). But that was solved by using a kernel from proposed-updates or something like that.
[18:14] <EvilDennisR> as I mentioned, I copied over vmlinuz and initrd from the blade I made from the cd, but it doesn't boot. Kernel panics trying to load scritps/live (which is scripts/${BOOT} - and since we're passing boot=live on the pxe file, thus the error)
[18:15] <EvilDennisR> I busted open the initrd file and looked at the init script, it was doing . /scripts/${BOOT}
[18:15] <EvilDennisR> I tried to comment that out and rebuild the initrd, but that didn't go over so well
[18:16] <EvilDennisR> then again, I could of made the initrd wrong
[18:17] <maswan> the first comment of the bug says "I think this need to be added to the kernel's ./debian/d-i/modules/nic-modules file.", I guess one could try to rebuild the kernel and initrd with that change (somehow, my kernel-fu gets hazy around there)
[18:17] <EvilDennisR> can we pass it boot=somethignelse in the pxe file, or will that script up the fai ?
[18:17] <EvilDennisR> yeah ditto, I haven't built a kernel by hand in years
[18:17] <maswan> things are much easier when they just work. :)
[18:18] <EvilDennisR> I concur..
[18:18] <EvilDennisR> geez, I can't even remember when the last time I built a kernel was now that I think about it
[18:18] <EvilDennisR> I think it might of been for woody?
[18:19] <EvilDennisR> maybe potato?
[18:19] <EvilDennisR> it was like a 2.4 kernel
[18:24] <EvilDennisR> maswan: I could bust open the initrd and add bnx2x.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-server/kernel/drivers/net/
[18:24] ErKa (keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) joined #fai.
[18:26] <maswan> EvilDennisR: please try it, it might or might not work. there might be other files that need to be updated to automatically load it.
[18:26] <EvilDennisR> I'm getting ready to burn this mother down
[18:26] <EvilDennisR> stupid f'ing network card screwing up the whole works!
[18:29] <maswan> yup
[18:31] <EvilDennisR> I see bnx2x.ko listed in a bunch of files, but its just plain missing in the net/ directory
[18:32] <maswan> well, try it. :)
[18:32] <EvilDennisR> I'm building initrd now
[18:35] <EvilDennisR> moment of truth..
[18:35] <EvilDennisR> rebooting
[18:35] <EvilDennisR> just gotta wait 3 minutes for it to get to pxe

[18:37] <EvilDennisR> here we go..
[18:37] <EvilDennisR> @#*&%R#@22%#@^
[18:37] <EvilDennisR> now I get a different kernel panic
[18:39] <EvilDennisR> maswan: http://wi.mit.edu/dennisr/FAI_screenshot2.png
[18:40] <EvilDennisR> I have root=/dev/nfs
[18:40] <EvilDennisR> I dunno what else it should be
