I have both ethernet devices connected to the switch where install server is 
conected. Yesterday, I tried to disable the second NIC in the BIOS, but I 
couldnt find where.

I dont have a deb mirror so I had to chroot to nfsroot and dpkg -i fai-nfsroot 
package. Is this right?

Thanks in advance

Bug#369265: boot.log

2006-06-14 Thread Enrique de la Torre Gordaliza

Installation stops at RPC error and I dont have shell access. How can I 
read 
the /tmp/boot.log or dmesg from the client? Any boot parameter?

This is an v20z

Yes, I know those machines. I've tested the fai 2.10.2 (which was
released some minutes ago) with three network devices, and I had no
problems. But I also had problems with the v20z. IMO this is because
the kernel semms to have another order of the network devices, than
when doing PXE boot. So PXE boot boots from eth0 (for e.g. maybe the
upper NIC), but then the kernel thinks the lower NIC is eth0. So the
upper will become eth1 and no network connection is available any
more. IMO there was another thread on this problem on the FAI mailing
list. Currently I have no real solution for this.
