Hey everyone,
I've been playing with getting FAI setup for a couple weeks now. I've
spent a lot of time with the manual as well as the howto for installing
custom kernels. The thing is, the howto is pretty dated. It comments
putting files in files/packages which was deprecated in 2.54 from what I
can tell. So there are a number of things confusing me, but I've done
my best to try and figure them out.
So it seems to me that kernel's are specified in two places:
1. /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf
2. specify a kernel for PXE that lives /srv/tftp/fai/ (or whereever
your tftp stuff is housed I guess).
So, my question, the boot kernel is always going to be vmlinuz install
or whatever you point to using fai-chboot right? From the comments in
the conf file, the kernel from make-fai-nfsroot.conf is the kernel that
will boot via nfs. I'm a bit confused as to how this works.
Anyhow, following that stuff.. what's the best way to configure fai to
install a specific kernel for class? Since the howto talks about
seriously deprecated things, I'm assuming a better was has been put in
place. If there's no fancy way, does anyone do a brute force approach
where the kernel is copied by a script to /boot along with all the other
necessary things (menu.lst, modules, etc).?
