Hello all,
I'm trying to use FAI 3.4.7, as included in Debian 6, and am having
problems with it.
As mentioned in another thread, I'm having issues with LVM being activated
on boot while it works for "n43w79" using 3.4.8. Another issue that I'm
having is that when /boot is on an MD mirror, GRUB does not run properly.
For example, this configuration does not work:
disk_config disk1 fstabkey:uuid
primary - 512 - -
primary - 32G - -
primary - 8G - -
disk_config disk2 fstabkey:uuid
primary - 512 - -
primary - 32G - -
primary - 8G - -
disk_config raid
raid1 /boot disk1.1,disk2.1 ext3 rw,noexec,nodev
raid1 / disk1.2,disk2.2 ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro
raid1 swap disk1.3,disk2.3 swap rw
The installation goes through, but on reboot, the BIOS 'hangs' trying to
book off of the disks. GRUB never loads (no menu or anything). The same
result if I get rid of /boot and have everything live in /.
scripts/GRUB_PC/10-setup returns with an exit code of 1:
[...]
++ SWAPLIST=/dev/md2
++ BOOT_DEVICE=/dev/md0
++ ROOT_PARTITION=/dev/md1
+ '[' -z /dev/md0 ']'
+ chroot /target grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy
++ chroot /target grub-probe -tdrive -d /dev/md0
+ GROOT='(md/0)'
++ echo '(md/0)'
++ sed s:md/:md:g
+ GROOT='(md0)'
+ chroot /target grub-install --no-floppy '(md0)'
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: unknown device number: 104, 17.
++ error=1
[...]
What version of FAI should I be using, because the one in Debian 6 seems
to have all sort of problems for the things we want to do.
Thanks for any info.
