[01:21] fai-setup -v log for squeeze: http://paste.debian.net/72051 [01:22] apparently, aufs-modules-2.6... is not in the repositories, so it needs to be built. how can i automate using module-assistant in this case? [01:22] also, is cfengine2 absolutely required, or am i free to remove it from NFSROOT without breaking things? [01:24] also, should i add the packages i want installed on my nodes to the NFSROOT file, or is there somewhere else for that kinda thing [02:32] turns out aufs is compiled into squeeze kernels [02:54] i removed aufs-modules-2.6... from /etc/fai/NFSROOT, but fai-setup still fails [02:59] chroot to nfsroot; aptitude reinstall linux-image-2.6.32-3...; exit chroot; cp nfsroot/boot/initrd* /srv/tftp/fai/ [02:59] seems to work [03:02] time to understand what goes into /srv/fai/config [03:31] phew.. this is really tedious [04:56] FBI (~FBI@fbi.bot.oftc.net) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [04:56] FBI (~FBI@fbi.bot.oftc.net) joined #fai.

[07:16] why is the 'info' package excluded in the nfsroot? (--exclude=info as a debootstrap option) [07:43] Mrfai (~lange@suenner.informatik.uni-koeln.de) joined #fai. [07:45] tuvwx: uhm, well, why do you think you need the "info" package in your nfsroot? [07:46] tuvwx: the stuff in the NFSROOT is only for the installation system. something you want installed on the final system goes in package_config. you should read the fai guide [07:49] mgoetze: ok.. i get it now. btw, i've been reading the guide for a month now. i have to say, it's somewhat confusing, and not very straightforward to follow in an actual install. i.e. i have to read it all at least once (5 times in my case) before i can start the first step of the installation [07:50] is cfengine2 absolutely required, or am i free to remove it from NFSROOT/package_config without breaking things? [07:51] tuv: cfengine2 is used in some of the example scripts. if you replace those with your own you can remove cfengine2 [07:51] (incidentally i think /etc/fai/NFSROOT ships with a comment line saying exactly that) [07:51] mgoetze: scripts in /srv/fai/config? or somewhere else? [07:52] the scripts in /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/examples/simple which almost everyone uses as a starting point for their /srv/fai/config [07:52] mgoetze: i saw that, but it doesn't really say what exactly in the 'simple' configuration does require cfengine2 [07:53] tuv: grep -r cfagent /srv/fai/config/scripts [07:55] well, i'm at the stage of understanding /srv/fai/config, which looks like it's going to take some time. i think i've got the rest figured out, and (with some extra work) it seems to work with squeeze too [07:55] it's easily replaced, then again having cfengine in your nfsroot is absolutely harmless, it's not like it will be installed on your final system...
