| 09:39 h01ger | when is froscon? |
| 09:39 zobel | Mrfai: could you please ask for one more IP? only http and ssh need to be supported. |
| 09:41 \sh | 25.-26.08.2007 |
| 09:41 h01ger | hmm. i somehow dont think i can make that... maybe. |
| 09:52 Mrfai | zobel: which port should be open for outgoing connections? Will this IP need a host name? |
| 09:54 zobel | Mrfai: ssh outgoing (openldap optional too). eunomia.debian.net |
| 09:55 zobel | and http outgoing too, as we need somehow to use apt-get :) |
| 09:59 Mrfai | zobel: please just give me the list of ports you like for incomming and outgoing traffic. |
| 10:35 zobel | Mrfai: will send by mail after lunch. |
| 10:35 h01ger | zobel, Mrfai: what are you working on, anyway? </curious> |
| 10:36 zobel | h01ger: Mrfai is hosting a d.n machine |
| 10:37 h01ger | that much i figured :) what for? fai related? |
| 10:38 zobel | bts2ldap and w-b |
| 10:39 zobel | xen running on that machine. |
| 10:39 h01ger | ah, nice. |
| 10:40 zobel | h01ger: we are going to move w-b (currently hosted at aba@home [DSL]) to this machine. |

| 12:51 dukez | hey nyal |
| 12:51 dukez | grrr isn't there |
| 12:52 dukez | does somebody know how to build a bootable FAI CDROM with a menu with bootcd ? |
| 12:52 oz | dukez: h01ger and me work on a cd based on live package which can do that |
| 12:53 nyal | yes dukez |
| 12:53 dukez | hi nyal |
| 12:53 dukez | nyal, with your bootcd technique, can i make a custom menu for the bootcd ? |
| 12:54 nyal | when fai-cd install . |
| 12:54 nyal | ? |
| 12:54 nyal | i have done the menu with dialog |
| 12:54 dukez | yes |
| 12:54 nyal | in a class file |
| 12:54 dukez | but with syslinux or isolinux is it possible ? |
| 12:55 dukez | to choose between a list of configuration target ? ( passing different params to the kerel ) |
| 12:55 oz | dukez: year, but I think there's litte difference in usage |
| 12:55 dukez | nyal> to replace DHCP autoconfiguration by kernel parameters ... |
| 12:56 dukez | nyal> my fai classes are based on hostname given by the DHCP ... |
| 12:56 nyal | ok dukez |
| 12:56 nyal | do you have the network ? |
| 12:56 dukez | nyal> yes buti want to build a autonomous CDROM install system |
| MT (~MT@ANice-207-1-2-152.w80-11.abo.wanadoo.fr) left irc: Ping timeout: 480 seconds |
| 12:57 dukez | nyal> i want to use the package of the mirror copied on the CD, and the fai_config on the CD, |
| 12:57 nyal | so why can't you use an script with dialog menu selection ? |
| 12:57 dukez | nyal> not to use the NFSROOT |
| 12:58 dukez | nyal> a script with dialog menu selection ? you mean build a special startup script inside /class ? |
| 12:58 nyal | if you use cdrom installation -> menu script |
| 13:01 dukez | nyal> do you know if a can use the fai-kernels for the bootable cdrom ? |
| 13:02 nyal | yes of course |
| 13:02 nyal | you can use it |
| 13:02 Mrfai | zobel: was meinst du mit openldap? Dafuer gibt es keinen port. Meist du ldap oder ldaps oder beides? |
| 13:02 dukez | nyal> but i am suck on the Root VFS ..... |
| 13:03 nyal | in bootcdwrite.conf, you set kernel |
| 13:03 dukez | done |
| 13:03 Mrfai | zobel: https nicht? |
| 13:03 dukez | I use |
| 13:03 dukez | SRCDIR=$NFSROOT |
| 13:03 dukez | KERNEL=boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-fai-kernels |
| 13:04 zobel | Mrfai: ldap, ja. und 80 und 443, ja. |
| 13:04 dukez | but when booting is complains about not finding nfsroot, floppy or hdb ( i try hda etc ... ) |
| 13:04 dukez | I am testing the CD with QEmu though |
| 13:06 dukez | i think the kernel doesn't find it because the driver is not compiled |
| 13:10 nyal | oki |
| 13:10 nyal | you have to add kernel module |
| 13:10 nyal | in initramfs |
| 13:10 nyal | if you have to activate in the initrd |
| 13:11 dukez | nyal> i was trying to use discover |
| 13:12 dukez | nyal> because i need the CDROM to be able to boot on "All" type of Hardware |
| 13:12 dukez | nyal>do i still need initrd with discove ? |
| 13:12 dukez | discover ? |
| 13:13 nyal | you set the variable BOOTCDMODPROBE |
| 13:13 dukez | to discvoer |
| 13:14 dukez | no to auto |
| 13:14 dukez | sry |
| 13:14 nyal | do you have discover in your system ? |
| 13:14 dukez | i 've set BOOTCDMODPROBE=auto |
| 13:14 dukez | yes |
| 13:14 dukez | installserv:/tmp# apt-get install discover |
| 13:14 dukez | Reading package lists... Done |
| 13:14 dukez | Building dependency tree... Done |
| 13:14 dukez | discover is already the newest version. |
| 13:14 dukez | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. |
| 13:14 dukez | Mmmmmmm |
| 13:15 dukez | perhaps not on the NFSROOT |
| 13:15 dukez | ^^ |
| 13:15 nyal | mmm maybe |
| 13:15 dukez | mmm i got in on the chroot |
| 13:16 nyal | if you know the module |
| 13:16 dukez | i don't know it ^^ |
| 13:16 nyal | you can use BOOTCDMODPROBE=standard |
| 13:16 dukez | i am burning the CD to try it on a real server |
| 13:16 nyal | i have written this script for the menu selection |
| 13:16 nyal | http://pastebin.ca/448066 |

| 13:21 dukez | i am doing cross architecture cd rom building |
| 13:21 dukez | so to make cross architecture initramfs |
| 13:22 dukez | i'll have to rebuild the NFSROOT and install it there |
| 13:22 dukez | to be able to build an initramfs image with the module compiled for the good arch |
| 13:22 dukez | let's try it :) |
| 13:22 dukez | nyal> do you think i am right ? |
| 13:23 dukez | my Etch is an amd64 one, |
| 13:23 dukez | i build a i386 bootcd ^^ |
| 13:23 nyal | when you say cross architecture: amd64 and i386 ? |
| 13:23 dukez | y |
| 13:23 dukez | perhaps one day sparc32 or sparc64 too |
| 13:23 nyal | have you specify ARCH ? |
| 13:24 dukez | auto mode |
| 13:24 dukez | is it wrong ? |
| 13:24 dukez | i 'll force it |
| 13:24 nyal | i don't know |
| 13:24 nyal | i have only amd64 so... |
| 13:25 dukez | but if the serv end on fire, perhaps the replacement one will be i386 ^^ |

| 13:47 dukez | but int the NFSROOT /var is also ro no ? |
| 13:48 nyal | mmmm normally not |
| 13:49 dukez | i think the NFSROOT is ro, i think /var/log/fai/current is a link to /tmp/fai which is rw |

| 21:29 stockholm | Mrfai: here, at this hour?? |
| 21:29 stockholm | so there can be several classes defined at the same time, right? |
| 21:30 stockholm | i am wondering how that works with the partitioning |
| 21:30 stockholm | because there the faibase class exists always, right? |
| 21:31 h01ger | the disc_config from the class with the highest prio is taken |
| 21:31 h01ger | stockholm, did you have a change to build+try the fai-kernels for stable-proposed-updates? |
| 21:32 stockholm | h01ger: no, not yet. |
| 21:32 h01ger | the one for unstable and with 2.6.20 build sucessfully here, now trying the other one |
| 21:32 stockholm | i can try that in parallel |
| 21:32 stockholm | where do i set priorieties for classes? |
| 21:32 stockholm | i missed that so far |
| 21:33 h01ger | the class which gets defined first, has lowest prio, thats (usually) DEFAULT, the one that gets defined last, has the highest. thats (usually) LAST. last but one is $hostname :) |
