Re: Failed to obtain UUID (RAID, no LVM)

This was solved by upgrading FAI from 3.2.8 to 3.3.5. Note: this is a Lenny host installing Etch clients using fai-cd. I believe the fai-client deb in the target nfsroot is the critical piece. Cheers! Dave On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 3:04 PM, David Ward wrote: > Sorry Thomas, I meant this is

Softupdate and fai-cd

Hi, Has anyone had experience using the softupdate feature from a CD? Its described in the manual as "updating the running system without doing a re-installation". In this case you'd be running from the CD and updating the hard drive installation so you are not updating the *running* system in th

variables.log shows all expected classes, however fcopy -D shows only some of them. I'll have a look at the fcopy source. On Thu, Feb 4, 2010 at 3:53 PM, Thomas Lange wrote: > >>>>> On Thu, 4 Feb 2010 15:35:17 -0500, David Ward > said: > >> It seems whe

Hi, It seems when I use fcopy from a hook only some classes are defined. For ex. if I call it from hooks/configure.XYZ then fcopy -D does not show class XYZ as being defined. Is that the intended behavior? Thanks, Dave

Custom package conflicts

I have a custom deb that conflicts with something in my kernel deb (which I don't wish to mess with). I'm wanting to do --force-overwrite. Anyone have a suggestion? Maybe there's a way to download the package from my local repository so I can install it later manually from a class? Thank You, Da

e the Lenny kernel (2.6.26-2) running during the install on the target. I thought I was creating a Lenny live CD to install an Etch 2.6.18-6 client. But instead the CD appears to use the client kernel the whole time - can anybody clue me in? Thanks, Dave On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 12:50 PM, David

I have FAI 3.3.2 on Lenny installing Lenny clients from a CD I generated, very nice! I also want to make a CD from Lenny that installs Etch clients and I figure that goes something like this - In /etc/fai/apt/sources, change the sources to etch In /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf, change FAI_DEBOOT
