| 13:34 sts | ok. i now tried to install a system with LVM/GRUB-PC. I added the patches I found in the FAI repository for GRUB_PC. The kernel is loaded correctly now and I can boot kernel and initrd. But then I end up in the initrd because it doesn't find the root partition. |
| 13:34 FBI | fai: 3 lange committed revision 5695 to 7 fai: lib/mkramdisk: new script that mounts a ramdisk onto a directory and |
| 13:34 FBI | fai: copies its contents to the ramdisk, can also umount the ramdisk and |
| 13:34 FBI | fai: put the modified contents back to the hard disks, this script is a |
| 13:34 FBI | fai: modified version of mkrw from FAI 3.1.8. |
| 13:35 sts | seems like there is no /bin/ls in the initrd. and cd /dev/mapper doesn't work either (FAI specified root=/dev/mapper/VG0-LVroot). |
| 13:35 sts | also I cannot run any lvm specific tools like pvscan, etc. |
| 13:37 sts | any advice on how i can add lvm tools to the initrd? |
| 14:19 sts | GRUB2 + mdadm/lvm2 packages FTW! |
| Action: sts dance |
| 14:28 sts | \sh: around? |
| 14:41 \sh | sts, somehow :) |

| 15:08 ^Miaou^ | hello! |
| 15:12 mgoetze | sts: hm, they SHOULD get added to the initrd automagically... are you using a standard kernel and initramfs-tools? |
| 15:13 mgoetze | sts: if you don't have /bin/ls make it a link to busybox (assuming you have that) |
| 15:13 \sh | mgoetze, if /bin/ls doesn't work, /bin/ln doesn't work too |
| 15:14 \sh | I think it's more a problem with initramfs generation itself...the default should have it |
| 15:14 \sh | I'm not sure about LVM tools..but normally this is already a standard |
| 15:14 mgoetze | "busybox ln /bin/busybox /bin/ls" |

| 17:12 sts | mgoetze, \sh: i'm not sure whether ls is working now, but when i selected lvm2 and mdadm for the install clients everything was working like a charme. |
| 17:14 sts | \sh: no actually i wondered whether you did any process with FAImgr and whether you are planning to put any updates online soon. :) |
| 17:16 sts | \sh: i think it would be great to see how to integrate a script for collecting values and storing them in a database and how to retrive certain information (eg. doing a more complex etc/network/interfaces config)... |

| 21:13 serge | Hi guys! I'm new to FAI. Have installed all fai-* pkgs on Etch and trying to configure it. According to docs I run fai-setup -v and at the end I got: "Error. Kernel package /usr/lib/fai/kernel/linux-image-2.6.18-fai-kernels_1_i386.deb not found". What's wrong with my setup and what to do?.. |
| 21:14 mgoetze | serge: well the first thing that's wrong is that you're still doing new deployments with etch, which will be EOL next month |
| 21:15 mgoetze | serge: anyway, did you also install the fai-kernels package? |
| 21:15 serge | yes |
| 21:16 mgoetze | i've forgotten all these details, there is no seperate fai-kernels package in lenny... |
| 21:16 serge | ...sorry but we are not planning to switch to Lenny yet.. Am I out of luck then..? |
| 21:17 serge | I was trying lenny, last year but there were some troubles with it (don't remember what was exactly...) |
| 21:18 mgoetze | well, if you stay here long enough maybe someone will remember. |
| 21:18 mgoetze | do you have anything at all in /usr/lib/fai/kernel? |
| 21:20 serge | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5941256 2009-08-24 13:12 linux-image-2.6.18-fai-kernels_1_amd64.deb |
| 21:20 mgoetze | well, you had better decide whether you are doing 32bit things or 64bit things, i suppose |
| 21:21 serge | this is amd64 CPU system |
| 21:21 serge | and we are going to install it also to amd64 PCs |
| 21:21 mgoetze | so why is it looking for the 32bit kernel? check your fai configuration (especially the debootstrap bits) |
| 21:22 serge | ohh, I see... Thanks. |
| 21:23 mgoetze | np |
| 21:23 serge | do i need to restart fai-setup -v after that...? |
| 21:24 mgoetze | that's probably easiest |
