Re: Problems installing a client
Hi Thomas, I installed my faiserver with the actual fai-cd img "fai-cd-3.2.iso" > You are using the package boot-cd?

Do not use it with newer FAI versions! ??? Than make-fai-bootcd take the 2.6.18-5-486 kernel (which is shipped with the FAI-CD img), that boot-CD than isn't bootable at all (I used a cd for speeding up the boot process, and I also used the -B option in make-fai-bootfloop, same result) error with the 2.6.18-5-486 kernel is: ... VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or unknown block(0,255) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic ... etc ... > > Any clues why the client can't create it's temp dirs/files? > Because you are not using unionfs IMO. am well - actually - no, i guess ;-) I installed "unionfs-modules-2.6.18-5-486 and unionfs-tools" into the faiserver and into the nfsroot (the ...modules... was present in the nfsroot already) but that doesn't change anything :-( How do I get unionfs to work than? TIA Bernhard P.S.: make-fai-bootfloppy also still usese $NFSROOT so I had to patch it with NFSROOT=$NFSROOT/live/filesystem.dir to make it work... -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.

Problems installing a client
Hallo list, I succesfully installed a fai-server with the latest FAI-CD. After some tuning (installing libapt-pkg-perl and cdrecord manually) I tried to make a boot-cd - which didn't worked... (the default kernel couldn't mount the nfs??? finished with kernel panic) after manually installing fai-kernels into the nfsroot I was able to create a boot-cd that worked ... booting the client. Now when I'm booting the client it can't create any directorys or files because of "Read-only filesystem". And, next(maybe related prob) although I tried to define a FAI_ACTION in class/ the client doesn't get it. Any clues why the client can't create it's temp dirs/files? TIA Bernhard -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS. Alle Infos und kostenlose Anmeldung: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/freemail
