| 12:37 Joelio | 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 Joelio | Anyone have any ideas? |
| 12:38 Joelio | I can show the config if needs? |
| 12:38 mgoetze | Joelio: what's in your package_config? |
| 12:39 Joelio | I had a file called BACKPORT in that I had linux-image-2.6-amd64/lenny-backport |
| 12:39 Joelio | in DEFAULT PACKAGES aptitude AMD64 |
| 12:39 Joelio | linux-image-2.6-amd64 |
| 12:40 Joelio | that didn't install a kernel at all when no BACKPORT class was specified. |
| 12:40 Joelio | I've tried various permutations of this |
| 12:42 mgoetze | i told you how to do it on april 1st ;) and it wasn't a joke... |
| 12:42 Joelio | I tried that, unfortunately it didn't work :) |
| 12:43 Joelio | I'll keep trying, just wondered if there was a premade solution.. no worry :) |
| 12:44 Mrfai | Joelio: read the log files. Maybe your repository is not correct. |
| 12:44 Joelio | 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 Mrfai | please put your whole fai.log onto paste.debian.net. They we can have a look |
| 12:52 Joelio | 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 glance | allee-k: ah. great. i have done some installs with the karmic-packages and some manual hacking in the nfsroot. |
| 14:13 Joelio | Hmm, no, still isn't working.. whatever I try, when there's no BACKPORT class specified, it still installs the backported kerne |
| 14:14 Joelio | 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 Mrfai | show us your fai.log. You can get the logs, before rebooting the install client. |
| 14:15 Joelio | Mrfai: I wish I could, but they're currently on a test VM infrasctrucutre.. |
| 14:16 Joelio | I'm putting the config on paste. |
| 14:16 Mrfai | We need the log! |
| 14:18 Joelio | 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 Joelio | fai.log - http://paste.debian.net/67684/ |
| 15:08 Joelio | Even though there's no BACKPORT class specified, it's still pulling in the bpo kernel? |
| 15:18 Mrfai | 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 Mrfai | Or maybe linux-image-amd64 has a newer version in your bpo repository and depends on the bpo kernel. |
| 15:21 Mrfai | 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 Mrfai | You can check it using apt-cache policy |
| 15:22 Joelio | 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 Joelio | Mrfai: apt-cache policy? |
| 15:24 Joelio | 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 Joelio | Ok, so adding a pin for DEFAULT completely breaks the install, no kernel installed with or without BACKPORT class |
| 15:31 Mrfai | 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 |

| Mrfai (~lange@kueppers.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai. |
| 15:35 Joelio | what kind of hook do you recommend? |
| 15:50 Joelio | please bear in mind that these are CD only installs.. no network |
| 16:22 Mrfai | This is an example of mine: |
| 16:22 Mrfai | cat instsoft.DESKTOP |
| 16:22 Mrfai | #! /bin/sh |
| 16:22 Mrfai | $ROOTCMD aptitude -y install emacs22 |
| 16:22 Mrfai | I have to install emacs22 before using install_packages |
| 16:22 Mrfai | don't forget to chmod a+rx on this hook |
| 16:22 Joelio | Will that install from the repository from the CD though? |
| 16:23 Joelio | because there's no network attached at install time |
| siggg (~jean@tra78-3-82-244-85-196.fbx.proxad.net) left irc: Quit: Leaving. |
| 16:35 Mrfai | I will install from whatever repository you have configured for FAI. It uses the same commands what install_packages uses. |
| 16:35 Joelio | Oh, ok, wasn't aware of that.. will try, cheers for the heads-up! |
| 17:07 Joelio | Hmm, for everything I try, if I include linux-image-amd64/lenny-backports in the package config, it *always* gets installed |
| 17:07 Joelio | I think there's a definite bug in this |
| 17:08 Joelio | The issue is, how do I get the backported kernel into the mirror to be able to install it via the hook |
| 17:08 Joelio | If I add it to the package_config, that always takes precedence |
| 17:08 Joelio | if it's not added, it can never be installed |
| Action: Joelio thinks it might be easier to dpkg -i from /files? |
| 17:38 Mrfai | check the output of apt-cache show linux-image-amd64 |
| Joelio (~joel@office-112.zen.co.uk) left irc: Quit: Lost terminal |
| 17:39 Mrfai | If it show both packages, you may try to use linux-image-amd64=versionnumber |
