kernel config 2.2.20 broken?

2002-05-02 Thread Albrecht Frank
Hello folks, I've got problems in making a kernel for fai-nfsroot. Neither CONFIG_IP_PNP_ENABLE nor CONFIG_ROOT_NFS could be set to "y", the configure in make-kpkg stamped it out. I don't know what's wrong, I went back to kernel 2.2.19. Greetings Albrecht.

2002-02-05 Thread Albrecht Frank
Hi Folks, it seems me, that I have found the fault. In the script /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/woody at line 89 I negated the test of "$USE_BOOTFLOPPIES_INTERACTION" and it seems to work. Please test and correct the debian package if this was the fault. Thank you very much! Regards Albrecht

make-fai-nfsroot: debootstrap 0.1.16.1 crashes at inst of exim

2002-01-31 Thread Albrecht Frank
Dear folks, I made today the experience that debootstrap 0.1.16.1 crashes when it wants to install exim. Exim complains about "Cannot open main log file "/var/log/exim/mainlog": no such file or directory: euid=8, egid=8" exim is never mentionend in fai.conf and I don't know how to circumvent the

Install ext3fs with FAI

2002-01-18 Thread Albrecht Frank
Hi Folks, I managed to install ext3fs with fai (woody). The only things to change were to generate a kernel with ext3-support (2.4.17) for the target machine, set an extra step with 'tune2fs -j' in setup_harddisks after mke2fs (of course, make-fai-nfsroot), create a script EXT3 which changes th
