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

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 =)
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/

18:26 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
18:35 EvilDennisR	FML
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
18:42 maswan	sorry, need to run. and dunno on that problem.
18:42 EvilDennisR	kernel vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-i386
18:42 EvilDennisR	append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.24-16-i386 ip=dhcp  root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai/debian-i386 boot=live  FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt,reboot FAI_ACTION=install
18:43 EvilDennisR	erm, ewpz, pasted the wrong one
18:43 EvilDennisR	but same stuff, just different kernels and nfsroot
