[01:13] <mikap> assuming someone (not me, someone starting to play with FAI) wants to install from USB as he can't use a DHCP server: the fai guide mentions: "fai-cd -m /path/to/mirror -u /path/to/mounted/stick" => what's the minimum that has to be available as /path/to/mirror so it works? normal "debmirror"-stuff?
[01:14] <mikap> should he just use fai-mirror?
[01:16] <mikap> or /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/examples/utils/mkdebmirror? too many options to choose from :)
[04:10] <puck> It depends on your package list
[04:10] <puck> I'd suggest running it on a hard drive first to see how much space it needs
[04:11] <puck> (If you're worried about size)
[04:11] <puck> Our fai-mirror size is about 600MB.

[09:05] <edoreld> I'm having a weird problem...I have in $FAI/debconf/CLASS this content -> http://paste.debian.net/41412/ <- which theoretically would make the final system have German language by default. However, when I check "debconf-get-selections" on the installed system they are not those I posted, but english ones, and the system language is in English as well...

[10:56] <Rankin> I'm having some problems with the bnx2 firmware, My problem is that the driver don't find the firmware. I've installed the frimware-bnx2 package inside the nfsroot, and regenerated the initrd image with update-initramfs. I have a /lib/firmware folder with the firmware files in it.  fai is installed from standard lenny packages.
[10:56] <Rankin> Anny suggestions?
[11:09] <Rankin> The servers I'm trying to install with fai is HP DL360/380 G5
[11:17] <Rankin> Strange, now it somehow works...

[17:11] <Rankin> Anyone had trouble with fai failing to mount /target, mount says wrong fs type
[18:10] ErKa (~keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds
[19:31] <telmich> Rankin: what fs are you using?
[19:39] <mgoetze> Rankin: no, i haven't
[19:44] <Rankin> ext3
[19:44] <mgoetze> Rankin: are you using setup-storage or the older setup-harddisks?
[19:46] <Rankin> Default in lenny seems to bee setup-harddisks
[19:46] <mgoetze> as i recall the simple-examples that come with lenny use setup-storage...
[19:55] <Rankin> mgoetze: Yes, that seems to bee correct, http://pastebin.com/d3243e99c This is what happens, and the diskcofig
[19:56] <mgoetze> eh? cciss? what kind of hardware is this?
[19:57] <Rankin> HP 
[19:57] <Rankin> HP servers
[19:57] <mgoetze> well yes but... surely not just normal SAS oder SATA?
[19:57] <mgoetze> iSCSI or something?
[19:58] <mgoetze> i mean, why is it not called /dev/sda?
[19:58] <Rankin> Well not with HP smartarray controllers....
[19:58] <mgoetze> hm
[19:59] <Rankin> The partition table is created, but it seems the partitions isn't formated...
[20:01] <Rankin> And if I use ext3 I don't think it should use mke2fs to create the filesystem. I tried to set the filesystem to xfs, and still then it says it uses mke2fs to create the filesystem...
[20:03] <mgoetze> well, mke2fs -j should make an ext3 filesystem more or less
[20:05] <Rankin> Yes, but it doesen't semm to even do that...
[20:05] <mgoetze> you're using fai 3.2.17?
[20:05] <Rankin> Yes
[20:05] <mgoetze> maybe try it with fai 3.2.20
[20:06] <Rankin> Do you know in which file the code for the partitioning part is located?
[20:07] <mgoetze> /usr/sbin/setup-storage - it's perl
[20:09] <mgoetze> if you remove USE_SETUP_STORAGE=1 from class/FAIBASE.var you can also use the old format
[20:09] <mgoetze> (and the old program)
[20:10] <Rankin> I'll try that. At the moment I don't need the new stuff...
[20:12] <Rankin> Same result....
[20:13] <mgoetze> i'd try it with fai 3.2.20's setup-storage. if that doesn't work but a manual debian installation does, please file a bug
[20:15] <Rankin> Well, I'll have to find out what's wrong, I don't have the time to install 50 new servers manually the next two weeks... :)
[20:16] <mgoetze> you know how to get 3.2.20, right?
[20:17] <mgoetze> if not, just check the first link in /topic
[20:18] <Rankin> I would prefere to use the one in lenny, but it seems I have to try that one...
[20:29] <Rankin> I think I've found what the problem was, I've removed the FAIBASE from the class file... Now I understad why things haven't made sese...
[20:31] <mgoetze> ;)
