[11:14] where is the "config" for unionfs located? [11:15] since the its seems in the live.log that the filesystem.dir is not complete [11:15] "filesystem.dir=nfsro" [11:22] JustL1_: the newer version of FAI are using aufs (another unionfs) instead of unionfs. So you might use an older FAI version [11:25] this is a "clean" install on the latest lenny [11:25] which version? [11:26] so I'm using the latest version from the repros, fai-server 3.2.17~lenny1 [11:26] but its a etch nfsroot [11:27] I only have this problem when trying to use the kernel 2.6.18-6-486, which is neatly placed in /srv/tftp/fai after a make-nfsroot [11:27] the lenny nfsroot, with kernel 2.6.26-2 works fine [11:27] ok, then use the lenny nfsroot. [11:27] i did [11:28] but if i do that, with a etch base.tar.gz, i get a a "downgraded lenny" Etch version [11:29] no. if you use a etch base.tar.gz you will have a clean etch version. [11:30] ehm.. no,. i dont [11:30] so i might be missing something.. [11:30] What does not work when using the etch base.tar.gz? [11:30] other question then, which sources.list should the etch class use, with a etc.base.tgz? [11:31] you may have to write a little hook that copies the etch sources.list to $target. [11:31] before installing packages [11:31] normally the one from the nfsroot (which is lenny in your case) will be copied to $target [11:32] and if I remove the one inthe nfsroot, will it not look for /config/files/ ? [11:32] as in, could I use the files config space to have two sources? [11:32] no, it will copy the sources.list from /config/files only at the end of the installation [11:33] hm [11:33] not very straightforward this.. [11:33] you could also replace the sources.list in the nfsroot, with the etch version. This will also work [11:34] ok, ill have another stab at this then, with a etch base file and a etch sources.list in the nfsroot [11:34] and the 2.6.26 kernel.. [11:34] yep, that should work [11:43] Should indeed. [11:44] next hurdle, can proccess the kernel..

"Ok, Aborting" [11:45] hardly OK is it [11:54] Is there anyway to get a verbose output from dpkg during the install? [11:55] ohw, nevermind [11:55] First, did you add the falg verbose to FAI_FLAGS? I would log into your install client and do a chroot /target. Then try to install the linux kernel manually. I think you will get more infos. [11:56] Maybe the installation script of linux-image tries to read somethings from /proc, which will give some wrong information, since you are running a 2.6.26 kernel during installation. [11:57] software.log provides the dpkg output [11:57] But I think mkinitrd or similar command for creating the initrd (did etch already uses initramfs-tools?) has an option to specify the kernel version. [11:57] linux-image-2.6-486 depends on linux-image-2.6.18-6-486; however: [11:57] Package linux-image-2.6.18-6-486 is not installed [11:57] which is great, since the 2.6.18 wont frekking boot [11:59] ohh.

[14:52] Kinou (~bso052@89.30.30.103) joined #fai. [14:52] hi [14:56] I went last time on the channel to expose my problem. Here is a reminder : I already set up a debian etch box with fai 3.1.8 and everythings works fine. I use it to install debian etch 32 and 64bit servers so far and I'm trying to deploy lenny clients on my etch box. I installed FAI on a lenny 64bit box in order to make the debootstrap and have a lenny nfsroot which I then rsync on my etch FAI 3.1.8. I had a few errors which are now corrected but i'm stuck on th [14:56] is one. The install client won't mount the tmpfs partition and then crashes. [14:56] /usr/lib/fai/prcopyleft: line 16: cannot create temp file for here document : Read-only file system [14:56] The error is not helping much, just saying that it can't create a temp file on a read only FS, after it, everything is crashing like that too. [14:56] Then, you advised me to use a debian fai kernel just to install those box. I have an error, VFS can't mount root partition. So I recompiled one of my own a kernel but with aufs this time and it's not working... [14:56] COuld it be an issue with my lenny nfsroot ? Thanks.. [14:56] :) [15:01] With the debian lenny kernel 2.6.26-2 and his initrd I got this issue when booting : Mouting root file system ... /init .:line 171: can't open /scripts/live,v3,tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
