Ubuntu installtion using seperate /var partition, no network running
If you are doing an Ubuntu installation with FAI, you may have problems with your network. Ubuntu does not like if you use a separate /var partition. Read more here http://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/UbuntuVarRun -- regards Thomas

You need to have /var/run created before anythin else... this is only needed for some services during startup. And yes, you have to create it if you don't have it. Using an ubuntu chroot it actually have it...for others, it needs to be created before hand :) After that, you can mount /var and /var/run to whatever partition you want. Regards, \sh

My hack was quoted on the list, see bottom half of: https://lists.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/linux-fai/2007-June/005031.html The easiest solution is to use a ubuntu base tarball as base. The other solution is to create those directories after partitioning and mounting. \sh
