Bug#334373: make-fai-nfsroot fails to set up /dev
Hi, Can you please try the following patch? It assumes that udev is installed in the nfsroot though.

Bug#334373: make-fai-nfsroot fails to set up /dev
I'm running into this same problem and thought I'd chime in. I'm running FAI 2.8.4 on i386. I'm using debootstrap 0.3.2 which I'm sure is the cause of the problem. In the changelog entry for debootstrap 0.3.1, I see the comment: - devices.tar.gz reduced to minimal set of devices; frontends should setup udev or supply their own devices or similar in future Sure enough, devices.tar.gz only contains: drwxr-xr-xroot/root 0 dev/ crw-r-root/kmem 0 dev/kmem crw-r-root/kmem 0 dev/mem srwxr-xr-xroot/root 0 dev/core -- /proc/kcore crw-rw-rw-root/root 0 dev/null crw-r-root/kmem 0 dev/port crw-rw-rw-root/root 0 dev/zero srwxr-xr-xroot/root 0 dev/ram -- ram1 crw-rw-rw-root/root 0 dev/full crw-rw-rw-root/root 0 dev/random cr--r--r--root/root 0 dev/urandom crw-rw-rw-root/tty 0 dev/tty brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram0 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram1 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram2 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram3 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram4 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram5 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram6 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram7 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram8 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram9 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram10 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram11 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram12 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram13 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram14 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram15 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/ram16 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/loop0 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/loop1 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/loop2 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/loop3 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/loop4 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/loop5 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/loop6 brw-rwroot/disk 0 dev/loop7 crw-rw-rw-root/tty 0 dev/ptmx So make-nfs-bootstrap needs to run MAKEDEV manually perhaps?

[...] A call to make-fai-nfsroot yields an nfsroot which lacks /dev/hd* devices: [...] Sorry, but I can't reproduce that here (on my i386, though) - is anyone on the devel-list able to reproduce this, maybe on an x86_64? Actually I don't know which package is responsible for setting up the devices, but it might be debootstrap; make-fai-nfsroot itself does nothing whatsoever to set them up...

[...] i know, and please excuse me for going the easy user way through fai due to my tendonitis. Please check the contents of /usr/lib/debootstrap/devices.tar.gz - AFAIK this is simply extracted by debootstrap... To further investigate this issue, please rerun debug=1 make-fai-nfsroot -v and check/send its output. Thanks, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
