Mixed Etch and Lenny? How to...

ere do I define in the class that it should use a different base.tar.gz?? I can't seem to figure this out, and I think this should be relative easy. Is there any one who can shed some light on this? Any help would be much appreciated! -- Leen Smit

define this "in the class", just put an appropriate file under basefiles/CLASSNAME.tar.gz and FAI will detect it automatically. Regards, Michael -- Leen Smit Systems Admin Service2Media B.V.

t may be necessary to add bnx2 to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules prior to updating the initrd. I'm not sure. It shouldn't be if /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf has MODULES=most. -- Leen Smit Systems Admin Service2Media B.V. Arnhemseweg 2 3817 CH Amersfoort Capito

ned in /etc/fai. But how can the fact that I only change the sources and debootstrap options have so much effect ? As a work around: Can I create my own chroot env. install what I need, and create a tarball from that to use it as a basefile? -- Leen Smit

Hello all, I got an issue that I can't seem to solve. At the moment I have a working FAI env. for our HP blades. These use the firmware-bnx2. However, we now got newer blades, which need the firmware-bnx2x. So, I added this to the package list in the NFSROOT file, re-ran fai-setup, copied the

Hello All, I hope some one can shed some light on ftar. My current setup is like this: Classname is LUSTRE64. I have a tarball /srv/fai/config/files/lib/modules/LUSTRE64.tar.gz In my script I tried several syntaxes, things like ftar -t /target/lib/modules -s /lib/modules ftar -t /target/lib/

Hello All, We just got a bunch of new blades in. Lucky for me they are a new generation: G6. I'm struggling to get these things installed, so I'm hoping some one here has experience with these. The problem lies with the bnx2x network cards, which is not in my current FAI config. I have tri

Dear All, At work we have a debianetch FAI enviroment to deploy debian etch. I never worked with fai before, and all of a sudden I had to dive in at the deep end. Now, I @work im fine, since all I have to do is to create classes for new machines, which in itself isn't all that hard I found. But,

Thank you very much! I installed the latest from the debian testing repro's and added boot=live.  This worked like a charm! Im guessing I didnt even have to update to the latest lenny .deb, but all I needed was the boot=live option. Thomas Lange wrote:
