Dear all,
in our setup, FAI server and DHCP server are on two different machines.
When booting a FAI client via PXE, dracut tries to mount nfsroot from
the DHCP server (111.222.333.66) instead of using the FAI server
(111.222.333.73).
fai.conf is as follows:
$ cat /etc/fai/fai.conf
# See fai.conf(5) for detailed information.
# Account for saving log files and calling fai-chboot.
#LOGUSER=fai
LOGUSER=fai
# URL to access the fai config space
# If undefined, use default nfs://<install server>/$FAI_CONFIGDIR
#FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://yourservername/path/to/config/space
FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://111.222.333.73/srv/fai/config/
$
and the pxelinux config like this:
$ cat /srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.cfg/AABBCCDDEE
# generated by fai-chboot for host 129.206.77.72 with IP 129.206.77.72
default fai-generated
label fai-generated
kernel vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae
append initrd=initrd.img-3.2.0-4-686-pae ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot aufs FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt
FAI_ACTION=install rd.debug
$
Dracut's rdsosreport.txt created with the rd.debug option can be found
on http://pastebin.com/zBVDPkzA (too big for the maillist, will expire
in a month from now).
How can I tell dracut to use the FAI server instead of the DHCP server
for mounting nfsroot (and config space). fai.conf's manpage doesn't
give me a hint and I could not find this case in the FAI documentation
(http://fai-project.org/fai-guide/).
Any hint is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Frank
