Hi all! I really hope you can help me on this because I am pretty lost on what do do to make it work..
So, I am installing fai 5.10.3~buster1 on a debian stretch (not sure if it is supported like this but...) I mostly want to install a debian buster os on a baremetal, right now, just a basic install. fai.conf looks like: LOGUSER=fai FAI_LOGPROTO=ssh SERVER=192.168.44.34 FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://$SERVER/srv/fai/config my /etc/fai/apt/sources.list file (I have changed bullseye for buster since I only need buster) cat /etc/fai/apt/sources.list deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib non-free #deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main contrib non-free # from bullseye on you need #deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free # repository that may contain newer fai packages for buster deb http://fai-project.org/download buster koeln The content of /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fai.list : cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fai.list deb http://fai-project.org/download stretch koeln #deb https://fai-project.org/download buster koeln #deb http://fai-project.org/download buster koeln I use the NFROOT config from https://github.com/faiproject/fai/commits/master/conf/NFSROOT but I changed bullseye to buster. Then I have run the fai-setup -v -f . I have to change a line in /usr/sbin/fai-make-nfsroot ROOTCMD="unshare --pid --fork --mount-proc chroot $NFSROOT" because --kill-child is not available as an option in the strech unshare binary So far so good, at least no errors at that point. I have created a host and setup the dhcp fai-chboot -I -F -v -u nfs://192.168.44.34/srv/fai/config hp2testing the file is created So for what I understand, at that pointI should be able to boot and have a buster installed. The client boot the pxe image but at the end I got this: Fully Automatic Installation - FAI 5.18.3-busterl (c) 1999-2821 Thomas Lange Clange9cs.uni-koeln.de> inux 4.19.0-9-amd64 x86_64 GMU/Linux ernel parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz-4.19.8-9-amd64 initrdminitrd.img-4.19.8-9- .md64 irdhcp root=10.199.44.34:/srv/fai/nfsroot:vcrs=3 rootovl FAI_FLAGS=menu initial.verbose.sshd.createvt FAI_COMFIG_SRC=nfs:// 10.199.44.34/srv/fai/config Al_ACTIO11=install 'coding /tmp/fai/boot.log Al_FLAGS: menu initial verbose sshd createvt getting SERVER=10.199.44.34. Value extracted from FAI_COMFIG_SRC. Can't connect to monserver on 18.199.44.34 port 4711. Monitoring disabled. RROR: The running kernel does not match the kernel modules inside the nfsroot. RROR: Kernel modules directory /11b/modules/4.19.0-9-amd64 not available. Only found: lib/modules/4.19.8-19-amd64 rror in task confdir. Code: 790 aceback: task error task_confdir task !start main LOGUSER is undefined. Not saving log files to remote. FATAL ERROR. Installation stopped. root hp2testing:/* _ (sorry if the output is ugly, I use an online image to text converter...) So at the end the kernel used to boot 4.19.0-9 is not the correct one found in the nfs server 4.19.8-19, but why? What step have I missed to have this error? If you can guide me on how to troubleshoot this I will really appreciate it. thanks!
