[12:45] Hello, [12:46] i've some problem while booting the client, i get the error message Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on > unknown-block (2,0) Some know these [12:47] The exports file contains this lines; /srv/fai/config 10.0.2.0/255.255.254.0(async,ro,no_subtree_check) [12:47] /srv/fai/nfsroot 10.0.2.0/255.255.254.0(async,ro,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash) 10.0.2.100(ro,async) [13:06] Lebowski1: can you successfully mount the NFS root fs when you boot, e.g. grml or knoppix on the client? [13:08] I tried mounting on another PC with ubuntu. It still works [13:16] I booted the client with ubuntu live-cd and tried: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount 10.0.2.2:/srv/fai/nfsroot/ /mnt/asd/ with this result: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on tjener:/srv/fai/nfsroot/, [13:16] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [13:16] (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might [13:16] need a /sbin/mount. helper program) [13:16] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [13:16] dmesg | tail or so [13:17] Lebowski1: what does the kernel command line look like that you boot the client with? I mean for the FAI installation? [13:18] Lebowski1: not sure whether that might actually be a different problem [13:19] Lebowski1: sorry, bbl (lunch) [13:20] Do you mean this line (in pxelinux.cfg/) kernel vmlinuz-install [13:58] there should be an 'append' line, too [13:59] Hope you enyoyed your lunch. Mounting nfs on client succeed while booting with ubunu-live. I forgot to install nfs-common. So, I think its a problem in the fai-configuration [13:59] The append line is: append ip=dhcp FAI_ACTION=install root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot,v3,tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,reboot [13:59] What is the meaning of root=dev/nfs/ there is no /dev/nfs [14:00] try adding the statement 'boot=live' to the append line [14:01] the device /dev/nfs does not exist but it tells the initial ram disk to boot from NFS [14:02] No changes, i get the same error [14:04] hrm [14:06] can you tell from the console messages whether the client gets an IP-address via DHCP? [14:08] hang on [14:08] so you do boot via PXE, right? [14:09] Yes he get the adress 10.0.2.50 , there is an entry in the dhcp.conf # statische Vergabe [14:09] host static00 { [14:09] hardware ethernet 00:90:F5:67:64:3F; [14:09] fixed-address static00; [14:09] } [14:09] yes, i boot via pxe [14:09] and which FAI version do you use? [14:10] how to find out [14:10] ? [14:11] fai --help on your server [14:12] fai FAI 3.1.8, 13 Mar 2007 [14:13] have you created the PXE config with the chboot command? [14:14] Ja [14:14] Yes, but i'll trie agein [14:15] ok, no, then it should be alright [14:16] no, sorry, then I'm out of stupid questions [14:17] Ok, thanks anyhow [14:19] you might want to try the latest FAI version [14:20] it uses a different booting method which is fairly reliable [14:20] see http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Main_Page#getting_FAI [14:20] cu - I'm off [15:24] Lebowski1 (~martin@dslb-188-101-092-150.pools.arcor-ip.net) left irc: Quit: Leaving.
