[13:51] how happy is FAI installing testing instead of stable ? [14:26] hrm, what file is the template for the pxelinux config ?

[15:14] ooh, all sorts of fun breakages... [15:19] anyone actually have FAI working on squeeze, installing squeeze ? [15:22] ikarus: i did have it working a few weeks ago, but squeeze is still a fast-moving target [15:22] there are some things in the simple-examples which are still rather lenny-centric [15:22] mgoetze: urgh, not good [15:23] mgoetze: any major pointers ? [15:23] fai-setup -U was atleast one thing I found on the ML, but it doesn't actually seem to work) [15:24] you can write a hook like the grml kernel one on the wiki for generating the initramfs [15:24] mgoetze: link ? [15:25] ikarus: use lenny nfsroot for deploying squeeze :) [15:25] mikap: and how would I do that ? [15:25] http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Grml_Kernel [15:26] simple, you create a lenny nfsroot and write squeeze in your files/etc/apt/sources.list/CLASS [15:27] (and make sure sources.list is fcopyed in a hook before updatebase) [15:27] mmm, well, going to give squeeze nfsroot installing squeeze one more go [15:28] and else I am switching to lenny nfsroot installing squeeze with some prayers [15:28] you should check bugs #568883 and #578094 re lennyisms in simples-examples [15:29] i'm pretty sure i never bothered to try a squeeze nfsroot with a squeeze kernel, but rather used a squeeze nfsroot directly with a grml kernel [15:29] (i think there weren't even any aufs-modules available for squeeze) [15:42] mgoetze: mmm [15:54] let's see, now doing lenny nfsroot and squeeze sources.list [15:54] see if it breaks :) [15:55] oh and grub-legacy package specified [15:56] but the base.tgz that gets used is lenny then right ? and FAI upgrades it to squeeze on the fly [15:59] mgoetze: ummmm, it's using the mirror that was used to build the nfsroot, so it's just installing stable now [16:20] in /srv/fai/config/files/etc/apt/sources.list/FAIBASE I have deb http://mirrors.nl.kernel.org/debian/ testing main [16:20] that SHOULD work righ ? [16:20] t [16:37] ikarus: you need a hooks/updatebase.FAIBASE [16:37] which does fcopy /etc/apt/sources.list [16:46] wheee [16:46] Updating base [16:46] Get:3 http://mirrors.nl.kernel.org testing/main Packages [8755kB] [16:48] now let's hope none of the Debian update bugs hit me [16:49] you could use stable, you know ;) [16:50] mgoetze: actually I can't [16:50] I need both 2.6.32 and more importantly, a recent version of hostapd [16:50] while the first is backported [16:50] the second isn't [16:51] and won't just recompile [16:59] have to say, so far I like FAI, even with all it's quirks [17:25] urgh [17:25] I need to get squeeze nfs-root working at some point [17:25] installing lenny, takes 10 minutes [17:25] upgrading to squeeze takes 45 minutes [17:25] due to some annoying properties of the hardware [17:37] ErKa (~keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) joined #fai. [17:57] allee-k (~allee-k@p54A44268.dip.t-dialin.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [18:01] ikarus: you don't necessarily need a squeeze nfsroot, just a squeeze base.tgz [18:03] mgoetze: mmm, k, and how do I get that then :) [18:03] (ie, is that documented anywhere ?) [18:06] http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/UbuntuJauntyInstallationHowTo#Create_a_custom_base.tgz on one that I prepared the slow way works ? [18:26] ikarus: well you can just take the base.tgz from $squeezenfsroot/tmp [18:27] and put that in base-files/FAIBASE.tar.gz [18:27] or was it basefiles.... [18:27] oooh, fuck, lenny kernel has the HDD as /dev/hda, on squeeze kernel it's /dev/sda [18:27] that's turning messy [18:28] and ofcourse FAI uses paths, not UUIDs [18:31] since you didn't write fstabkey:uuid into your setup-storage configuration, right [18:31] (that's another thing i plan to get changed before squeeze) [18:36] mgoetze: so if I need a squeeze base.tgz I should just build a fai-setup for it and then move the resulting base.tgz into my lenny one ? [18:36] (at the right spot and all that) [18:39] no, i'd recommend using basefiles/FAIBASE.tar.gz, it's cleaner [18:42] mm, k [18:43] (I'll rename my class aswell I guess, abusing FAIBASE for it is a bit nasty) [18:47] mgoetze: btw, interesting question, why is it .tar.gz for class specific ones, but .tgz for the base.tgz :) [19:12] noone knows :) [19:18] ErKa (~keryell@keryell.pck.nerim.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [20:06] mmm, I should count it [20:06] I think the initramfs is regenerated 4 times during the installation :) [20:10] AARGH: [ 5.464022] udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth8 [20:11] which means the network gets broken [20:19] ah well, modified the .tar.gz to just remove the file [20:20] it shouldn't be there in the first place I guess [20:33] it's an important thing for squeeze though... [20:57] yes the udev network rules thing is pretty much an unsolved issue in any case [20:58] at work, i generate them with a dell utility called biosdevname [21:37] it's fixed in trunk, if you mean 70-persistent-net.rules...
