| 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... |
| 12:18 mikap | puck: thanks regarding fai-mirror |

| 17:11 Rankin | Anyone had trouble with fai failing to mount /target, mount says wrong fs type |
| 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 | ;) |
