More work for me :P For the new generation of Dell Server you'll need a recent kernel (2.6.9 and above) cause the necessary megaraid driver version is only available here (megaraid2). For confusion the old megaraid driver and the new one are both called megaraid. These options have to be enabled: CONFIG_MEGARAID_NEWGEN=y CONFIG_MEGARAID_MM=y CONFIG_MEGARAID_MAILBOX=y Greetings Jens signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Re: Build a fai-kernel
come to think of it, I've been installing my all-new hyper-power-workstation here at work and it has one of those LSI-Logic thingies that need the mptscsi module sadly that seems to be the only scsi module not compiled in. Weirdly enough it's not even listed as a scsi-device driver, but it's in drivers/message/fusion no wonder it wasn't included. should I submit a wishlist-bug and include my new .config? P.S.: I compiled a 2.6.10-fai kernel and it's running nicely :-) Greetings, Sanso -- The information contained in this email is intended solely for the addressee.

But IMO it would be better to have a resolv.conf in $NFSROOT, because this was the way it worked before. Currently a upgrade to 2.6.6 breaks the upgrade of the nfsroot unless you know about the missing resolv.conf and change $NFSROOT_ETC_HOSTS accordingly. Why did you insert the "rm /etc/resolv.conf" in the latest release? To get around the bug in debootstrap? If yes, why don't solve the problem with a package dependency? greets Jimmy -- Andreas "Jimmy" Gredler, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Get my public key at www.g-tec.co.at

On the install clients the task confdir calls the script create_resolv_conf (/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/usr/lib/fai/create_resolv_conf) which creates a resolv.conf during the installation. For creating the nfsroot on the install server you should normally include the IP address of the ftp or NFS server into the variable $NFSROOT_ETC_HOSTS. Then you do not need a resolv.conf during the make-fai-nfsroot call. Does this solve the problem? -- regards Thomas

I took a look at the source a few times and I couldn't find some piece of code that copies or generates a /etc/resolv.conf file. So it will be always missing, IMO. greest Jimmy -- Andreas "Jimmy" Gredler, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Get my public key at www.g-tec.co.at

Try to load the megaraid driver in 06hwdetect.source. Which kernel are you using? 2.4 or 2.6? The default fai-kernels support the megaraid drivers, so normally you do not need to compile a fai kerneles by yourself. -- regards Thomas
