So I'm having a couple of strange problems. It seems that the fai install is running pretty smoothly. The screen says "Install took X seconds.."
It then moves on to a new task and reports: rsh -l fai faiserver failed. I tried to replicate this command in the shell window, and it could not figure out the hostname. Then I put "faiserver" as the name of my fai install server in /etc/hosts in the nfs install image and it shows up on the client, but it the error is the same. Most strange. However, if I do: rsh -l fai 10.10.10.34 it prompts me for a password immediately. It is almost like /etc/hosts is being ignored. I'm not sure where it is supposed to get the value for faiserver from if not /etc/hosts. It appears not to be fully working anyway, since I don't think it is supposed to be asking for a password. (based on the fact that there is a .rhosts file in user fai's home directory) Anyway, I figured out that the rsh is basically to go back and tell the server not to install the client the next time it boots up, so since I didn't know how to do that, I rebooted the client and told the BIOS to boot from the hard drive. This then generates a new GRUB error, even though I told the client to install LILO instead of GRUB (I was having problems with GRUB previously, but noone responded about that one). The GRUB error is: Grub loading stage 1.5. Grub loading.. Error 15 Does anyone have any ideas about all of this? Paul
