xserver-xorg file configuration problem
Hi! I'm installing Hoary clients using FAI and have a problem with xserver-xorg and /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The config file doesn't contain these lines into the Monitor section: HorizSync 30-71 VertRefresh 50-160 It's very strange because debconf keys are correctly filled after the installation: * xserver-xorg/config/monitor/vert-refresh: 50-160 * xserver-xorg/config/monitor/horiz-sync: 30-71 If i make a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and keep all defaults values (HorizSync and VertRefresh are correctly proposed by debconf) the conf file isn't modified. I have tried to remade md5sums of the conf file, but it's change nothing. Any idea about this very disturbing bug? Thanks G.

The xfree server config file is generated only when calling dexconfig. Maybe xserver-xorg also has such a program to generate the config from the debconf values. -- regards Thomas

Re: Root-nfs error -13
The problem was indeed the dhcpd configuration as Thomas had pointed out. however, I now have another problem...but I'll post that in another email so that the email threads don't get mixed up. you guys are really great and responsive! cheers, dan On 10, May, 2005, Thomas Lange declared: On Tue, 10 May 2005 05:52:06 -0400 (EDT), Dan B.

FAI: installation aborted.
I've gotten past the previous NFS errors, and now have FAI specific errors :) I see the boot of FAI going, it loads the network card, the hard drive controller, and then it gets to runlevel 2 and stops. here's the output: Initializing random number generatordone. Optimizing hardware... INIT: Entering runlevel: 2 FAI: installation aborted. reboot with: faireboot or after a logout sh: no job control in this shell and that's it. faimond doesn't show anything. I previously had an error about the file system being readonly, so I change my export from: /diskless_ro 128.59.16.0/255.255.248.0(async,ro,no_root_squash) to /diskless_ro 128.59.16.0/255.255.248.0(async,rw,no_root_squash) and it got past that. Then I saw some mail thread by Yuri Adrián González Robles and tried changning the pxelinux.cfg boot config line. currently the file consists of: label fai-generated kernel vmlinuz-install append auto rw ip=dhcp devfs=nomount FAI_ACTION=install root=/dev/nfs FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt,syslogd I also chmod -R a+r /diskless_ro...should I try a+rw ? regards, Dan

Re: FAI: installation aborted.
oh, as previously noted, I should add my running system parameters: IBM HS20 eServer BladeCenter, with dual 3.06 GHz Intel Xeon(TM) CPUs, 2.5GM RAM and 40 GB 5400 RPM DMA/ATA-100 hard drive Debian linux-2.6.8.1 (I compiled this) FAI 2.8 tftp-hpa 0.40 NFS 0.99 also, I looked at the my syslog, and I see this: tftp: client does not accept options blade01 rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from blade02:800 for /diskless_ro (/diskless_ro) maybe I should try a different tftp server?

Re: FAI: installation aborted.
ah, that helped. install took 200 secs! awesome! the strange thing is that I compiled the nfsroot with 2.6.8.1, but the kernel on the machine has 2.4.27. I have an inkling that this has something todo with my config in /usr/share/fai/ so I'll go check in there...and read more of the docs I skipped over... I think this is going to be a great addition to our configuration. we do alot of kernel hacking, so machines go up and down like...popcorn. hopefully the PPC stuff will be stable soon...or maybe I can help that move along :) thanks everyone! -dan On 10, May, 2005, Thomas Lange declared: On Tue, 10 May 2005 14:14:23 -0400 (EDT), Dan B.

Re: E: Broken packages with 2.8
hi there! I downloaded the package (2.8.1) from sourceforge, but I'm still getting this error-message... the very bad thing is that this problem still occurs, if i downgrade to 2.6.5. it seems that there are really broken packages somewhere. any ideas? thanks in advance mat.

Both, 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 are mainly bugfix releases, targeted for sarge. AFAICT the sourceforge repositories keep all old versions (at least back to 2004 which should be sufficient for you). If you don't succeed, I might still have it on one of my harddisks - PM. Cheers, Steffen
