| 06:21 telmich | good morning |
| 06:21 telmich | I just tried to install with fai-3.2.17~lenny and had several errors: |
| 06:22 telmich | 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) |
| Action: telmich switches to the lenny+experimental branch and tries again |

| 07:33 telmich | so, now trying with 3.35+experimental2 |
| 07:50 telmich | hmm , the same happens with 3.35+experimental2, grub is installed but shows only the prompt (probably not even reinstalled) |

| 10:21 Joelio | Hi! Did anyone manage to get the grml .33 series with aufs working? I see that there's only .31 available for modules.. |
| 10:22 Joelio | Got a new PERC that only seems to be supported in .33 :S |
| 10:23 mikap | Joelio: 2.6.33 provides aufs out-of-the-box |
| 10:23 mikap | 2.6.33-grml[64] |
| 10:25 Joelio | mikap: Amazing, thanks! Was sweating for a while there :) |
| 10:26 mgoetze | Joelio: yes, i got it working, needed bnx-firmware from backports |
| 10:27 Joelio | mgoetze: Thanks for the tip |
| 10:46 Mrfai | I also got 2.6.33 working here |
| 10:47 mgoetze | so, who's going to write the fai book? ;) |
| 10:50 mikap | mgoetze++ ;) |
| 10:51 Joelio | Mrfai and mgoetze - Always been extremely helpful and knowledgable ;) |
| 11:02 mikap | hm, is the fai-wiki writeable for anyone? because we should provide information regarding 2.6.33-grml[64] |
| 11:02 mgoetze | should be |
| 11:03 mgoetze | hm, incorrect password? |
| 11:03 mgoetze | ah |
| 11:03 mgoetze | the other one :) |
| 11:03 mikap | ah, i need an account |
| 11:03 mgoetze | Mrfai can give you one, send him an email |
| 11:04 mgoetze | mikap: http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Grml_Kernel - anything else? |
| 11:05 mikap | mgoetze: thx, that's fine! |
| 11:06 Joelio | Cool, that'd be fantastic.. just battling with grml now.. |
| 11:06 Mrfai | We could print the whole irc logs as a FAI book ;-) |
| 11:06 mikap | Mrfai: hehe |
| 11:08 mgoetze | ah yes i'll add i needed newer bnx firmware |
| 11:13 mgoetze | Mrfai: btw, have you considered a ramdisk also for /var/cache/apt/archives ? |
| coda (~coda@dhcp91-32.satec.es) joined #fai. |
| 11:23 coda | hi there! |
| 11:24 mgoetze | hi |
| 11:26 coda | 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 coda | does it sounds familiar to some of you? :S |
| 11:26 mgoetze | coda: add firmware-bnx2 to your nfsroot |
| 11:26 mgoetze | coda: yes it's one of the top three asked questions :) |
| 11:26 coda | lol! :P |
| 11:27 mgoetze | coda: edit /etc/fai/NFSROOT , add firmware-bnx2, and rerun make-fai-nfsroot |
| 11:27 coda | ahhmm let's see |
| 11:27 coda | thanks a lot :D |
| 11:27 Joelio | I think that should definitely be in the book... ;) |
| 11:27 coda | hahhah! |
| 11:31 coda | 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 coda | and there is where it hangs |
| 11:34 coda | anyway, I'm trying your tip mgoetze :) I'll give it a try :D |
| 11:36 mgoetze | coda: ah ok - you may want a newer live-initramfs / initramfs-tools from the grml repo then |
| 11:37 coda | :O |
| 11:37 mgoetze | coda: http://grml.supersized.org/archives/337-More-robust-network-booting.html |
| 11:38 coda | 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 coda | is that ok? |
| 11:38 mgoetze | in your nfsroot? in that case it should solve your problem, yes... |
| 11:39 coda | ah, nope.. It's just installed in the fai-server.. so should I also add these to /etc/fai/NFSROOT ? |
| 11:44 mgoetze | coda: basically you could just skip step 3 of the wiki howto |
| 11:45 coda | great, thanks a lot again mgoetze |
| 12:11 msc | 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 Mrfai | 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 mgoetze | 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 mgoetze | i added a howto for backports firmware and linked it from grml kernel :) |
| 12:36 Mrfai | mgoetze: or the variable just holds the list of all directories. |
| 12:36 mgoetze | Mrfai: yes that might work too |
| 12:39 Mrfai | habs mir notiert als wishlist feature |

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