Hi,
I'm about to build a FAI NFSroot to install Debian on Woodcrest machines.
There are several issues:
- a new kernel has to be used (for support of newer e1000 chips, and
Areca RAID controllers)
- it has to be a complete x86_64 installation
- etch for x86_64 is still incomplete
- for some reason, the test machine (Opteron based) that I use to build
teh nfsroot still has the sarge fai package installed while
being (upgraded to) etch otherwise
- the FAI server will be a sarge 686 machine which is already serving FAI
installations for 686 and Alpha architectures (with different
DHCP groups mapped to different root-path settings)
What I need now are suggestions how to build a nfsroot that uses etch
(and possibly fill in missing parts from sarge?).
Even with pure sarge, and the new kernel, I get errors:
Architecture-specific modutils configuration not found, using defaults
FATAL: Could not open '/boot/System.map-': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot.amd64/boot/vmlinuz-': No such file or
directory
Removing `diversion of /sbin/discover-modprobe to
/sbin/discover-modprobe.distrib by fai'
Could the reason be that newer kernels require newer modutils?
Running out of ideas,
Steffen
