Re: Fai with extra Attansic L2 ethernet driver
Hello, Ezzel a dátummal: Saturday 09 February 2008 17.23.25 ezt írta: I am new in fai, and I need to setting up a lot of machine with Asus P5gc-mx/1333 motherboard which has Attansic L2 ethernet device. I read a doc on fai to make special kernel image ( http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Using_customized_kernels _with_FAI ) and when I try to install it, fai said config parameters is deprecated. There are 2 params which is deprecated: KERNELPACKAGE= FAI_LOCAL_REPOSITORY= Where can I get a documentation to make a special kernel? Which FAI version are you using? In 3.2.X you should build a proper Debian package and set this package in /etc/fai/NFSROOT. Oh, sorry, I am using debian testing, fai is 3.2.4 in /etc/fai/NFSROOT there are a lot of parameter, how can I set my special kernel? Colud you show me an example? Ok, first of all you should get accustomed to the format this file uses, because this is the way you specify packages to get installed on your clients as well. But anyway: First, build a kernel package as a usual Debian package (nothing FAI specific, apart from the hint Henning posted yesterday: take care of unionfs). Next, put it on some local mirror or package repository. This repository must then be set in /etc/fai/apt/sources.list. Last, add your package to the NFSROOT file, simply be replacing one of the linux-image-* entries, depending on your client architecture (see the PACKAGES aptitude lines). Well, and you should probably read the FAI guide :-) Best, Michael PS.: Please keep linux-fai CC'ed, so others can help out as well. pgp5TBJKItyhS.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Fai with extra Attansic L2 ethernet driver
hello, Ok, I see, but my problem is not at install phase. When my motherboard booting, it get ip from dhcp, and try to get the kernel from server. This kernel is loaded, and try to mount root by nfs. This is the mistake, because the special driver isn' t loaded. Unfortunately I cannot compile attansic driver statically, only module can be load. My question is that: How can I load atl2 module at booting kernel?

My question is that: How can I load atl2 module at booting kernel? I think you can tell the initramfs tools to load this module. See: man initramfs.conf for how to define certain modules to be loaded. -- regards Thomas

The answqer to this relates to the FAI version yu are using. Which FAI Version are you using? Fai from Version 3.2 on uses standard debian kernels, yo the way to rebuild your FAI kernel is the same as you build a debian kernel. You need to add unionfs modules, they are required to boot from the new nfsroot. Henning
