[12:36] Joelio (~joel@office-112.zen.co.uk) joined #fai. [12:37] Hi all, How can I install a kernel from backports into the target? I've tried a combination of using kernelname/lenny-backports and also tried some hooks to set the apt preferences.. none work properly. I either get the backported kernel installed when I don't want it (no backport class specified) or there's no kernel installed at all.. [12:38] Anyone have any ideas? [12:38] I can show the config if needs? [12:38] Joelio: what's in your package_config? [12:39] I had a file called BACKPORT in that I had linux-image-2.6-amd64/lenny-backport [12:39] in DEFAULT PACKAGES aptitude AMD64 [12:39] linux-image-2.6-amd64 [12:40] that didn't install a kernel at all when no BACKPORT class was specified. [12:40] I've tried various permutations of this [12:42] i told you how to do it on april 1st ;) and it wasn't a joke... [12:42] I tried that, unfortunately it didn't work :) [12:43] I'll keep trying, just wondered if there was a premade solution.. no worry :) [12:44] Joelio: read the log files. Maybe your repository is not correct. [12:44] It's pulling in the correct files when I create the mirror though, both the stock and backported kernel. They go onto the CD too.. [12:50] please put your whole fai.log onto paste.debian.net. They we can have a look [12:52] Sure, will do.. I've just rolled back some changes to start from the beginning again, to ensure I've not missed something [13:23] allee-k: ah. great. i have done some installs with the karmic-packages and some manual hacking in the nfsroot. [14:13] Hmm, no, still isn't working.. whatever I try, when there's no BACKPORT class specified, it still installs the backported kerne [14:14] I can't currently get the logs out (without some work) as the backported kernel doesn't seem to like my KVM network [14:15] show us your fai.log. You can get the logs, before rebooting the install client. [14:15] Mrfai: I wish I could, but they're currently on a test VM infrasctrucutre.. [14:16] I'm putting the config on paste. [14:16] We need the log! [14:18] Sure, just need to break out kpartx and mount the VM partition.. in the meantime, here's the relevant config.. http://paste.debian.net/67673/ [15:05] fai.log - http://paste.debian.net/67684/ [15:08] Even though there's no BACKPORT class specified, it's still pulling in the bpo kernel? [15:18] Mmm, it may be a bug in install_packages. I'm wondering why it tries to install linux-image-amd64/lenny (line 233) [15:20] Or maybe linux-image-amd64 has a newer version in your bpo repository and depends on the bpo kernel. [15:21] You will have two linux-image-amd64 pacakges in all your repositories, and aptitude chooses the newest one, which depends on the bpo kernel [15:21] You can check it using apt-cache policy [15:22] I just tried to set a pin as well to just install stable kernel for all situations (DEFUALT), however no kernel was installed at all this time? The stock lenny kernel is in mirror too [15:22] Mrfai: apt-cache policy? [15:24] Mrfai: linux-image-amd64/lenny may be as I tried to set the stable using package/lenny syntax.. that's just an error on my part in testing. The results are the same however if I remove the /lenny part [15:29] Ok, so adding a pin for DEFAULT completely breaks the install, no kernel installed with or without BACKPORT class [15:31] Write a little hook (a simple shell script) that only installs the linux-image-amd64 using aptitude. Then you can debug if the package repository causes the trouble [15:31] Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) left irc: Quit: leaving [15:32] Mrfai (~lange@kueppers.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai. [15:35] what kind of hook do you recommend? [15:50] please bear in mind that these are CD only installs.. no network [16:22] This is an example of mine: [16:22] cat instsoft.DESKTOP [16:22] #! /bin/sh [16:22] $ROOTCMD aptitude -y install emacs22 [16:22] I have to install emacs22 before using install_packages [16:22] don't forget to chmod a+rx on this hook [16:22] Will that install from the repository from the CD though? [16:23] because there's no network attached at install time [16:25] siggg (~jean@tra78-3-82-244-85-196.fbx.proxad.net) left irc: Quit: Leaving. [16:35] I will install from whatever repository you have configured for FAI. It uses the same commands what install_packages uses. [16:35] Oh, ok, wasn't aware of that.. will try, cheers for the heads-up! [17:07] Hmm, for everything I try, if I include linux-image-amd64/lenny-backports in the package config, it *always* gets installed [17:07] I think there's a definite bug in this [17:08] The issue is, how do I get the backported kernel into the mirror to be able to install it via the hook [17:08] If I add it to the package_config, that always takes precedence [17:08] if it's not added, it can never be installed [17:09] Action: Joelio thinks it might be easier to dpkg -i from /files? [17:38] check the output of apt-cache show linux-image-amd64 [17:39] Joelio (~joel@office-112.zen.co.uk) left irc: Quit: Lost terminal [17:39] If it show both packages, you may try to use linux-image-amd64=versionnumber [17:39] Mrfai (~lange@kueppers.informatik.uni-koeln.de) left irc: Quit: leaving [17:47] ErKa (~keryell@guest-rocq-135204.inria.fr) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [19:18] siggg (~jean@tra78-5-88-172-128-32.fbx.proxad.net) joined #fai.
