[13:53] <\sh> damn [13:54] <\sh> why don't the test everything when they push bugfixes to debian and or ubuntu [13:54] Swat- (~Mark@vps5186.xlshosting.net) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [14:18] \sh: ? :) [14:19] <\sh> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/525154 -> especially my comment here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/525154/comments/90 [14:19] <\sh> they introduced a regression when trying to install nfs-common in a chroot environment [14:30] \sh: ouch, well i kind of gave WRT to this broken service handling on debian :-/ [14:43] I seriously start to hate fai... [14:44] everytime I make a change [14:44] sjit breaks [14:44] its doin gmy head in! [14:44] [/rant] [14:44] aha, that clearly helps us... [14:45] not supposed to help any one [14:45] just venting my frustration with fai [14:45] then don't do this here [14:45] dont do THAT here [14:46] justL1: pardon? [14:46] but ok ill shut up [14:46] Ill make sure only to tell you happy stories [14:47] we don't need any stories at all if the level of technical content is that low, thank you very much [14:48] yes, indeed, thanks very much [14:48] justL1: a bug report would help us and if we fix it, it will help you [14:50] *sigh* [14:50] nevermind, sorry [14:50] ill go into an empty room with my frustration [14:54] <\sh> justL1: would you mind to explain your problem? eventually one of our pros here can help you? [14:55] Its the same issues that occuring over and over.. its all to do with Bl360G1 and BL360G6 and &'s. [14:55] 7's [14:55] if I boot one, deploy all is well [14:55] <\sh> what problems? regarding the NIC? [14:55] but every thing just breaks when I try a differnt version of blade [14:55] <\sh> and I think you mean BL46xG* or DL36*G* [14:56] and i end up with non working at all.. [14:56] so its just going through the motions op re-creating nfsroot, makeing sure bn2x and bnx2x modules are there, upgrade initramfstools [14:56] <\sh> justL1: that has nothing to do with FAI [14:57] then come back on a monday, start deploying a server only to find its again doenst boot [14:57] and go through the motion [14:57] <\sh> justL1: it's just that when you have a chroot no kernel will know what hardware you have, that's why you should know which modules you need to provide to the initramfs , which means your work as sysadmin is to provide the necessary infos to $NFSROOT/etc/initramfs-tools/modules [14:57] @sh: no its probably just my head [14:58] <\sh> justL1: and hate HP or IBM or Dell to not provide proper opensource drivers [14:58] cause I CAN boot them [14:58] and i CAN deploy [14:58] but as to why it breaks.. im just not sure [14:58] and again, people thanks for your very kind help [14:58] and im sorry for ranting here [15:00] <\sh> justL1: I'm deploying only HP hardware...so if you have problems come to me, even in private [15:01] Thanks for the offer [15:01] I think we should collect some help on HP hardware in the fai wiki or FAQ [15:03] .oO(and HP should sponsor a box for development :) [15:04] <\sh> Mrfai: it's just not HP in general...all HW vendors do have problems regarding different HW generations...and drivers... [15:04] I think you should offer advertisments on that HP page, pointing to mental health doctors... [15:05] <\sh> justL1: just add "bnx2, bnx2x, be2net, be2scsi," this crc32 module and friends...for HP you are save [15:06] <\sh> smartarray there is no problem...the cciss driver are ok...they are opensource by hp... [15:07] <\sh> but all NIC driver crap is not HPs fault actually, but broadcoms and whatever company be2net is writing [15:08] I know.. [15:08] and its not FAI, i know that too [15:10] <\sh> justL1: so, really, I just can offer that to you, we have here a lot of HP HW and we can help you....what we don't know, I could also play relay to some other guys using fai and hp ;) [15:10] <\sh> I wonder why maswan is not here anymore [15:10] Mrfai: there? [15:10] yep [15:10] i want to boot grub2 off of a GPT partition table [15:11] and i FAIL [15:11] I never used a gpt table. [15:11] you should try, it is the new way of doing things [15:11] <\sh> stockholm: be conservative and use ext2 as boot device ;) [15:12] hu? [15:12] what does the filesystem have to do with it? [15:12] <\sh> a standard msdos label + ext2 ;) [15:12] ah, i dont want that [15:12] i can do that already [15:12] we want to get rid of those [15:13] i was wondering if there was a way to get setup-storage to create a partion with "bios_grub" or 0xEF02 partition type in the BEGINNING of the disk, not the end [15:14] my cool grub diagnosis tool tells me that core.img is not found where it should be. [15:14] http://pastebin.com/JzHiBF7P [15:26] stockholm: i'm afraid mt will have to look at it [15:26] is setup-storage in its newest form in unstable or in the fai repository? [15:26] mt is not here nowerdays. :-( [15:27] stockholm: deb http://fai-project.org/download experimental koeln [15:27] mt reads the linux-fai mailing list though :) [15:51] stockholm: learned about Boot Info Script in #grml or used it already? (cause the later reason would be another vote to add it to grml ;)) [15:53] mikap: i got it from the grub channel [16:00] stockholm: ah, good to know, thanks [16:05] Woet (~Woet@kantoor.qweb.nl) joined #fai. [16:07] we've got a FAI server. Now how would I build a distribute/install CentOs 5 with software RAID? [16:08] the partitioning part is the same as when installing Debian or Ubuntu with FAI. [16:08] Do you know fai already? [16:08] nope [16:09] I have burned the disk and installed a server/client [16:09] Then you should start doing a minimal Debian installation [16:09] but I'm unsure how to install something other than centos [16:09] I think you have burned a CD ;-) [16:09] other than debian, sorry :) [16:12] i'm going to play some more with it [16:12] ErKa (keryell@m3.wifi.enstb.org) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [16:34] sneumann_ (~sneumann@router-sub.ipb-halle.de) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds [16:46] Woet (~Woet@kantoor.qweb.nl) left irc: Quit: Bye!
