--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-installer Version: N/A; reported 2004-03-09 Severity: wishlist Hi, I tried to install a diskless client and mount an nfs-root-partition. (No harddrives inside the diskless client, rootfs should be on my server). First Problem: nfs-modules aren't loaded or "reachable" in /lib/modules/. Even after copying nfs.o, lockd.o and sunrpc.o (from a remote server, after extracting them out of the kernel-image-deb), running "depmod -a", and "modprobe nfs", I still wasn't able to mount my nfs-server properly. mount -t nfs <ip>:<dir> <dir> didn't issue a rpc.mountd-request for the directory on the nfs-server. So I copied another "mount"-binary from a stable debian-box. With the help of strace, I discovered, that the second mount issues the correct socket-functions, the busybox-"mount" seems to lack this functionality. Unfortunately debian-installer insists to partition a drive, just mounting my desired root-filesystem on /target, didn't help and now I'm stuck :) - Choosing "Install the base system" just keeps on returning to "Partition disks". sincerly, /fux -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux pulp 2.4.25 #1 Wed Feb 18 15:56:26 CET 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro
