| 10:48 telmich | hmm, irgendetwas ist da nicht in ordnung |
| 10:49 telmich | egal, was ich an /home/services/nfs/fai/amd64/lenny-experimental/live/filesystem.dir/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf ändere, das ip-config vom initramfs geht immer auf eth0 |
| 10:49 telmich | und es bekommt nie einen timeout |

| 11:12 JustL1_ | hey all |
| 11:12 JustL1_ | can some one explain why the fai boot might fail on unionfs? |
| sep (~sep@40.211.jostedal.no) joined #fai. |
| 11:12 oz_ | sure that it's not aufs? |
| 11:13 JustL1_ | mount : mount unionfs on /root failed |
| 11:13 JustL1_ | seem unionfs to me |
| siggg (~jean@tra78-3-82-244-85-196.fbx.proxad.net) left irc: Quit: Leaving. |
| 11:14 JustL1_ | where is the "config" for unionfs located? |
| 11:15 JustL1_ | since the its seems in the live.log that the filesystem.dir is not complete |
| 11:15 JustL1_ | "filesystem.dir=nfsro" |
| 11:22 Mrfai | JustL1_: the newer version of FAI are using aufs (another unionfs) instead of unionfs. So you might use an older FAI version |
| 11:25 JustL1_ | this is a "clean" install on the latest lenny |
| 11:25 Mrfai | which version? |
| 11:26 JustL1_ | so I'm using the latest version from the repros, fai-server 3.2.17~lenny1 |
| 11:26 JustL1_ | but its a etch nfsroot |
| 11:27 JustL1_ | 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 JustL1_ | the lenny nfsroot, with kernel 2.6.26-2 works fine |
| 11:27 Mrfai | ok, then use the lenny nfsroot. |
| 11:27 JustL1_ | i did |
| 11:28 JustL1_ | but if i do that, with a etch base.tar.gz, i get a a "downgraded lenny" Etch version |
| 11:29 Mrfai | no. if you use a etch base.tar.gz you will have a clean etch version. |
| 11:30 JustL1_ | ehm.. no,. i dont |
| 11:30 JustL1_ | so i might be missing something.. |
| 11:30 Mrfai | What does not work when using the etch base.tar.gz? |
| 11:30 JustL1_ | other question then, which sources.list should the etch class use, with a etc.base.tgz? |
| 11:31 Mrfai | you may have to write a little hook that copies the etch sources.list to $target. |
| 11:31 Mrfai | before installing packages |
| 11:31 Mrfai | normally the one from the nfsroot (which is lenny in your case) will be copied to $target |
| 11:32 JustL1_ | and if I remove the one inthe nfsroot, will it not look for /config/files/ ? |
| 11:32 JustL1_ | as in, could I use the files config space to have two sources? |
| 11:32 Mrfai | no, it will copy the sources.list from /config/files only at the end of the installation |
| 11:33 JustL1_ | hm |
| 11:33 JustL1_ | not very straightforward this.. |
| 11:33 Mrfai | you could also replace the sources.list in the nfsroot, with the etch version. This will also work |
| 11:34 JustL1_ | ok, ill have another stab at this then, with a etch base file and a etch sources.list in the nfsroot |
| 11:34 JustL1_ | and the 2.6.26 kernel.. |
| 11:34 Mrfai | yep, that should work |
| 11:43 JustL1_ | Should indeed. |
| 11:44 JustL1_ | next hurdle, can proccess the kernel.. |
| 11:45 JustL1_ | s/can/cant/ |

| 11:45 JustL1_ | arg, what is that about?? "Ok, Aborting" |
| 11:45 JustL1_ | hardly OK is it |
| 11:54 JustL1_ | Is there anyway to get a verbose output from dpkg during the install? |
| 11:55 JustL1_ | ohw, nevermind |
| 11:55 Mrfai | 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 Mrfai | 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 JustL1_ | software.log provides the dpkg output |
| 11:57 Mrfai | 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 JustL1_ | linux-image-2.6-486 depends on linux-image-2.6.18-6-486; however: |
| 11:57 JustL1_ | Package linux-image-2.6.18-6-486 is not installed |
| 11:57 JustL1_ | which is great, since the 2.6.18 wont frekking boot |
| 11:59 Mrfai | ohh. You are just missing the correct linu-image package name |
| 12:00 JustL1_ | in package-config? |
| 12:01 Mrfai | yep |
| 12:07 JustL1_ | doenst make any difference, if i place linux-image-2.6.18-6-486 in the package config list |

| 14:52 Kinou | hi |
| 14:56 Kinou | 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 Kinou | is one. The install client won't mount the tmpfs partition and then crashes. |
| 14:56 Kinou | /usr/lib/fai/prcopyleft: line 16: cannot create temp file for here document : Read-only file system |
| 14:56 Kinou | 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 Kinou | 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 Kinou | COuld it be an issue with my lenny nfsroot ? Thanks.. |
| 14:56 Kinou | :) |
| 15:01 Kinou | 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! |

| 15:25 JustL1_ | what would be the easiest way to do a scripted "manual" install ? |
| 15:25 JustL1_ | (of the kernel, still..) |

| 15:25 JustL1_ | or hook? |
