| 13:53 \sh | damn |
| 13:54 \sh | why don't the test everything when they push bugfixes to debian and or ubuntu |
| Swat- (~Mark@vps5186.xlshosting.net) left irc: Remote host closed the connection |
| 14:18 mikap | \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 mikap | \sh: ouch, well i kind of gave WRT to this broken service handling on debian :-/ |
| 14:43 justL1 | I seriously start to hate fai... |
| 14:44 justL1 | everytime I make a change |
| 14:44 justL1 | sjit breaks |
| 14:44 justL1 | its doin gmy head in! |
| 14:44 justL1 | [/rant] |
| 14:44 mikap | aha, that clearly helps us... |
| 14:45 justL1 | not supposed to help any one |
| 14:45 justL1 | just venting my frustration with fai |
| 14:45 mikap | then don't do this here |
| 14:45 justL1 | dont do THAT here |
| 14:46 mgoetze | justL1: pardon? |
| 14:46 justL1 | but ok ill shut up |
| 14:46 justL1 | Ill make sure only to tell you happy stories |
| 14:47 mgoetze | we don't need any stories at all if the level of technical content is that low, thank you very much |
| 14:48 justL1 | yes, indeed, thanks very much |
| 14:48 Mrfai | justL1: a bug report would help us and if we fix it, it will help you |
| 14:50 justL1 | *sigh* |
| 14:50 justL1 | nevermind, sorry |
| 14:50 justL1 | 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 justL1 | Its the same issues that occuring over and over.. its all to do with Bl360G1 and BL360G6 and &'s. |
| 14:55 justL1 | 7's |
| 14:55 justL1 | if I boot one, deploy all is well |
| 14:55 \sh | what problems? regarding the NIC? |
| 14:55 justL1 | 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 justL1 | and i end up with non working at all.. |
| 14:56 justL1 | 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 justL1 | then come back on a monday, start deploying a server only to find its again doenst boot |
| 14:57 justL1 | 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 justL1 | @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 justL1 | cause I CAN boot them |
| 14:58 justL1 | and i CAN deploy |
| 14:58 justL1 | but as to why it breaks.. im just not sure |
| 14:58 justL1 | and again, people thanks for your very kind help |
| 14:58 justL1 | 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 justL1 | Thanks for the offer |
| 15:01 Mrfai | I think we should collect some help on HP hardware in the fai wiki or FAQ |
| 15:03 mikap | .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 justL1 | 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 justL1 | I know.. |
| 15:08 justL1 | 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 stockholm | Mrfai: there? |
| 15:10 Mrfai | yep |
| 15:10 stockholm | i want to boot grub2 off of a GPT partition table |
| 15:11 stockholm | and i FAIL |
| 15:11 Mrfai | I never used a gpt table. |
| 15:11 stockholm | 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 stockholm | hu? |
| 15:12 stockholm | what does the filesystem have to do with it? |
| 15:12 \sh | a standard msdos label + ext2 ;) |
| 15:12 stockholm | ah, i dont want that |
| 15:12 stockholm | i can do that already |
| 15:12 stockholm | we want to get rid of those |
| 15:13 stockholm | 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 stockholm | my cool grub diagnosis tool tells me that core.img is not found where it should be. |
| 15:14 stockholm | http://pastebin.com/JzHiBF7P |
| 15:26 mgoetze | stockholm: i'm afraid mt will have to look at it |
| 15:26 stockholm | is setup-storage in its newest form in unstable or in the fai repository? |
| 15:26 stockholm | mt is not here nowerdays. :-( |
| 15:27 mgoetze | stockholm: deb http://fai-project.org/download experimental koeln |
| 15:27 mgoetze | mt reads the linux-fai mailing list though :) |
| 15:51 mikap | 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 stockholm | mikap: i got it from the grub channel |
| 16:00 mikap | stockholm: ah, good to know, thanks |
| Woet (~Woet@kantoor.qweb.nl) joined #fai. |
| 16:07 Woet | we've got a FAI server. Now how would I build a distribute/install CentOs 5 with software RAID? |
| 16:08 Mrfai | the partitioning part is the same as when installing Debian or Ubuntu with FAI. |
| 16:08 Mrfai | Do you know fai already? |
| 16:08 Woet | nope |
| 16:09 Woet | I have burned the disk and installed a server/client |
| 16:09 Mrfai | Then you should start doing a minimal Debian installation |
| 16:09 Woet | but I'm unsure how to install something other than centos |
| 16:09 Mrfai | I think you have burned a CD ;-) |
| 16:09 Woet | other than debian, sorry :) |
| 16:12 Woet | i'm going to play some more with it |

| 18:48 stockholm | no, wrong |

| 18:48 stockholm | debug=1 was debug i think |
