Package: fai
Version: 2.8.4
Running FAI from Debian Sarge on Alpha systems is entirely
impossible as the disk paritioning part is broken. sfdisk
can not be used on alpha, sdisklabel has to be used instead
to write partitioning information bootable from within the
srm.
Patches were proposed by Steffen Grunewald, which seem to do
the partitioning part properly but they are not compatible
with fai 2.8.4. Using his stuff
/usr/share/fai/subroutines-linux
together with
/sbin/setup_harddisks
does the hdd-setup part correctly but breaks later fai
scripts.
It would be suggested to introduce the stuff proposed in
Steffens patches which are accessible at
http://pandora.aei.mpg.de/~steffeng/fai/download
into the general fai-tree.
Additionally lacking are the fai-kernels where one can use
the ones available from Steffen's page. They work at least
on the 500au Workstation yet tried.
Without introduction of the right partitioning method fai
should be removed from debian stable's alpha-tree, as it is
as such completely unusable. :(
