Hi
I'm busy with upgrading the computer lab here from breezy to dapper
(ubuntu versions). The image-server (debian sarge) is unchanged from
years of serving woody/sarge/hoary/breezy on Dell Optiplex GX260 and
GX270 desktops.
I haven't upgraded this due to a specific boot kernel which
works for my desktops for the first pxe boot.
ii systemimager-boot-i386-standard 3.2.3-6
ii systemimager-common 3.2.3-6
ii systemimager-doc 3.2.3-6
ii systemimager-server 3.2.3-6
Just some notes:
0) the grub-install workaround is still necesarry
(first boot of a pxe imaged client gives error 15;
I boot a liveCD to grub-install, which I cannot do
from the master script though the commands are there,
probably ide-scsi related)
1) devfs=nomount is no longer necessary in grub.
The grub-install above actually is enough now to allow
booting.
See http://wiki.sisuite.org/Ubuntu?highlight=%28ubuntu%29 for
the breezy experience I had with above issues.
New Errors:
2) I get a new error when the master script runs:
### BEGIN mount proc in image for tools like System Configurator ###
logmsg "mkdir -p /a/proc || shellout"
mkdir -p /a/proc || shellout
logmsg "mount proc /a/proc -t proc -o defaults || shellout"
mount proc /a/proc -t proc -o defaults || shellout
### END mount proc in image for tools like System Configurator ###
### BEGIN mount sysfs in image for tools that might be run during chroot
###
logmsg "mkdir -p /a/sys || shellout"
mkdir -p /a/sys || shellout
# following line added by Jan. Two after that commented out.
logmsg "Not mounting sysfs since 2.4 kernel in systemimager bombs out"
#logmsg "mount sysfs /a/sys -t sysfs -o defaults || shellout"
#mount sysfs /a/sys -t sysfs -o defaults || shellout
### END mount sysfs in image for tools that might be run during chroot
###
All four those logmsg's generate a "no such file or directory". I have
no idea why. The /a/ is there.
As you can see I uncommented mounting sysfs (I get no such device and
shellout if I leave it in). Then the imaging completes, but...
3) What should be eth0 is somehow converted to eth1. I can turn it on,
but there is some (ubuntu-related?) problem in that permission is denied
to root to run dhclient.
4) Also, X doesn't start on boot.
Comments on the sysfs mounting please?
regards,
Jan
PS. I see http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/HOWTO_Net_Boot_Ubuntu
I'll help finish that when I get around to it!
