| 13:51 ikarus | how happy is FAI installing testing instead of stable ? |
| 14:26 ikarus | hrm, what file is the template for the pxelinux config ? I need to pass the option SERIAL 0 115200 to pxelinux for all hosts |

| 15:14 ikarus | ooh, all sorts of fun breakages... |
| 15:19 ikarus | anyone actually have FAI working on squeeze, installing squeeze ? |
| 15:22 mgoetze | ikarus: i did have it working a few weeks ago, but squeeze is still a fast-moving target |
| 15:22 mgoetze | there are some things in the simple-examples which are still rather lenny-centric |
| 15:22 ikarus | mgoetze: urgh, not good |
| 15:23 ikarus | mgoetze: any major pointers ? |
| 15:23 ikarus | fai-setup -U was atleast one thing I found on the ML, but it doesn't actually seem to work) |
| 15:24 mgoetze | you can write a hook like the grml kernel one on the wiki for generating the initramfs |
| 15:24 ikarus | mgoetze: link ? |
| 15:25 mikap | ikarus: use lenny nfsroot for deploying squeeze :) |
| 15:25 ikarus | mikap: and how would I do that ? |
| 15:25 mgoetze | http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Grml_Kernel |
| 15:26 mgoetze | simple, you create a lenny nfsroot and write squeeze in your files/etc/apt/sources.list/CLASS |
| 15:27 mgoetze | (and make sure sources.list is fcopyed in a hook before updatebase) |
| 15:27 ikarus | mmm, well, going to give squeeze nfsroot installing squeeze one more go |
| 15:28 ikarus | and else I am switching to lenny nfsroot installing squeeze with some prayers |
| 15:28 mgoetze | you should check bugs #568883 and #578094 re lennyisms in simples-examples |
| 15:29 mgoetze | 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 mgoetze | (i think there weren't even any aufs-modules available for squeeze) |
| 15:42 ikarus | mgoetze: mmm |
| 15:54 ikarus | let's see, now doing lenny nfsroot and squeeze sources.list |
| 15:54 ikarus | see if it breaks :) |
| 15:55 ikarus | oh and grub-legacy package specified |
| 15:56 ikarus | but the base.tgz that gets used is lenny then right ? and FAI upgrades it to squeeze on the fly |
| 15:59 ikarus | mgoetze: ummmm, it's using the mirror that was used to build the nfsroot, so it's just installing stable now |
| 16:20 ikarus | in /srv/fai/config/files/etc/apt/sources.list/FAIBASE I have deb http://mirrors.nl.kernel.org/debian/ testing main |
| 16:20 ikarus | that SHOULD work righ ? |
| 16:20 ikarus | t |
| 16:37 mgoetze | ikarus: you need a hooks/updatebase.FAIBASE |
| 16:37 mgoetze | which does fcopy /etc/apt/sources.list |
| 16:46 ikarus | wheee |
| 16:46 ikarus | Updating base |
| 16:46 ikarus | Get:3 http://mirrors.nl.kernel.org testing/main Packages [8755kB] |
| 16:48 ikarus | now let's hope none of the Debian update bugs hit me |
| 16:49 mgoetze | you could use stable, you know ;) |
| 16:50 ikarus | mgoetze: actually I can't |
| 16:50 ikarus | I need both 2.6.32 and more importantly, a recent version of hostapd |
| 16:50 ikarus | while the first is backported |
| 16:50 ikarus | the second isn't |
| 16:51 ikarus | and won't just recompile |
| 16:59 ikarus | have to say, so far I like FAI, even with all it's quirks |
| 17:25 ikarus | urgh |
| 17:25 ikarus | I need to get squeeze nfs-root working at some point |
| 17:25 ikarus | installing lenny, takes 10 minutes |
| 17:25 ikarus | upgrading to squeeze takes 45 minutes |
| 17:25 ikarus | due to some annoying properties of the hardware |

| 18:01 mgoetze | ikarus: you don't necessarily need a squeeze nfsroot, just a squeeze base.tgz |
| 18:03 ikarus | mgoetze: mmm, k, and how do I get that then :) |
| 18:03 ikarus | (ie, is that documented anywhere ?) |
| 18:06 ikarus | 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 mgoetze | ikarus: well you can just take the base.tgz from $squeezenfsroot/tmp |
| 18:27 mgoetze | and put that in base-files/FAIBASE.tar.gz |
| 18:27 mgoetze | or was it basefiles.... |
| 18:27 ikarus | oooh, fuck, lenny kernel has the HDD as /dev/hda, on squeeze kernel it's /dev/sda |
| 18:27 ikarus | that's turning messy |
| 18:28 ikarus | and ofcourse FAI uses paths, not UUIDs |
| 18:31 mgoetze | since you didn't write fstabkey:uuid into your setup-storage configuration, right |
| 18:31 mgoetze | (that's another thing i plan to get changed before squeeze) |
| 18:36 ikarus | 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 ikarus | (at the right spot and all that) |
| 18:39 mgoetze | no, i'd recommend using basefiles/FAIBASE.tar.gz, it's cleaner |
| 18:42 ikarus | mm, k |
| 18:43 ikarus | (I'll rename my class aswell I guess, abusing FAIBASE for it is a bit nasty) |
| 18:47 ikarus | mgoetze: btw, interesting question, why is it .tar.gz for class specific ones, but .tgz for the base.tgz :) |
| 19:12 mgoetze | noone knows :) |

| 20:06 ikarus | mmm, I should count it |
| 20:06 ikarus | I think the initramfs is regenerated 4 times during the installation :) |
| 20:10 ikarus | AARGH: [ 5.464022] udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth8 |
| 20:11 ikarus | which means the network gets broken |
| 20:19 ikarus | ah well, modified the .tar.gz to just remove the file |
| 20:20 ikarus | it shouldn't be there in the first place I guess |
| 20:33 ikarus | it's an important thing for squeeze though... |
| 20:57 mgoetze | yes the udev network rules thing is pretty much an unsolved issue in any case |
| 20:58 mgoetze | at work, i generate them with a dell utility called biosdevname |
| 21:37 hacman_ | it's fixed in trunk, if you mean 70-persistent-net.rules... |
