[06:21] good morning [06:21] I just tried to install with fai-3.2.17~lenny and had several errors: [06:22] first of all the lvm metadata makes fai fail (known problem) secondly after cleaning the metadata the installation works, but I end up in a bare grub prompt (w/o menu) [06:31] Action: telmich switches to the lenny+experimental branch and tries again [06:44] siggg (~jean@tra78-5-88-172-128-32.fbx.proxad.net) joined #fai. [07:27] Mrfai (~lange@kueppers.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai. [07:33] so, now trying with 3.35+experimental2 [07:50] hmm , the same happens with 3.35+experimental2, grub is installed but shows only the prompt (probably not even reinstalled) [07:57] ErKa (~keryell@APuteaux-154-1-10-185.w83-199.abo.wanadoo.fr) joined #fai.

Did anyone manage to get the grml .33 series with aufs working? I see that there's only .31 available for modules.. [10:22] Got a new PERC that only seems to be supported in .33 :S [10:23] Joelio: 2.6.33 provides aufs out-of-the-box [10:23] 2.6.33-grml[64] [10:25] mikap: Amazing, thanks! Was sweating for a while there :) [10:26] Joelio: yes, i got it working, needed bnx-firmware from backports [10:27] mgoetze: Thanks for the tip [10:46] I also got 2.6.33 working here [10:47] so, who's going to write the fai book? ;) [10:50] mgoetze++ ;) [10:51] Mrfai and mgoetze - Always been extremely helpful and knowledgable ;) [11:02] hm, is the fai-wiki writeable for anyone? because we should provide information regarding 2.6.33-grml[64] [11:02] should be [11:03] hm, incorrect password? [11:03] ah [11:03] the other one :) [11:03] ah, i need an account [11:03] Mrfai can give you one, send him an email [11:04] mikap: http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Grml_Kernel - anything else? [11:05] mgoetze: thx, that's fine! [11:06] Cool, that'd be fantastic.. just battling with grml now.. [11:06] We could print the whole irc logs as a FAI book ;-) [11:06] Mrfai: hehe [11:08] ah yes i'll add i needed newer bnx firmware [11:13] Mrfai: btw, have you considered a ramdisk also for /var/cache/apt/archives ? [11:23] coda (~coda@dhcp91-32.satec.es) joined #fai. [11:23] hi there! [11:24] hi [11:26] excuse me guys, I'm having some trouble with broadcom network cards.. after the live-premount is executed, it seems ipconfig detects the broadcom NIC and it just hangs.. :( [11:26] does it sounds familiar to some of you? :S [11:26] coda: add firmware-bnx2 to your nfsroot [11:26] coda: yes it's one of the top three asked questions :) [11:26] lol! :P [11:27] coda: edit /etc/fai/NFSROOT , add firmware-bnx2, and rerun make-fai-nfsroot [11:27] ahhmm let's see [11:27] thanks a lot :D [11:27] I think that should definitely be in the book... ;) [11:27] hahhah! [11:31] let me please double check if we are talking about the same issue: the problem is that a of my intel internal card is detected as eth0.. it starts booting via PXE (sorry for my poor english, please :P), and then ipconfig assigns 'eth0' to one of the broadcom's ports [11:31] and there is where it hangs [11:34] anyway, I'm trying your tip mgoetze :) I'll give it a try :D [11:36] coda: ah ok - you may want a newer live-initramfs / initramfs-tools from the grml repo then [11:37] :O [11:37] coda: http://grml.supersized.org/archives/337-More-robust-network-booting.html [11:38] this is what I suppose I have installed right now: initramfs-tools 0.93.4-grml02, and live-initramfs 1.177.1-1grml.02 [11:38] is that ok? [11:38] in your nfsroot? in that case it should solve your problem, yes... [11:39] ah, nope.. It's just installed in the fai-server.. so should I also add these to /etc/fai/NFSROOT ? [11:44] coda: basically you could just skip step 3 of the wiki howto [11:45] great, thanks a lot again mgoetze [12:11] hehe, seems like more and more people are running into the broadcom-fw-problem. you should write a more detailed instruction on how to use the broadcom-fw from lenny-backports in the nfsroot (pinning in apt-preferences) :) [12:22] mgoetze: no. You will need much more space there, so it will not work for everybody. But you can write a hook, and call mkramdisk $target/var/cache/apt/archives and give it a try [12:23] Mrfai: i think you should have a variable like FAI_RAMDISK with settings: 0 no ramdisk 1 ramdisk for /v/l/d 2 ramdisk for /v/l/d and /v/c/a/a [12:35] i added a howto for backports firmware and linked it from grml kernel :) [12:36] mgoetze: or the variable just holds the list of all directories. [12:36] Mrfai: yes that might work too [12:39] habs mir notiert als wishlist feature [13:24] Kajeci (~Kajeci@pa1-84-91-3-196.netvisao.pt) joined #fai.

[15:19] Cgrub-mkconfig is new. It does not exist in lenny [15:21] I take it this is needed to generate the menu config?
