I may have begun this thread a while back - hard to tell now, but I was instructed to pull debs from the OSCAR site. I too ran into a bunch of dependency issues. Seriously to the point of thinking about doing a new SI completely (well, to fit my needs anyway). Still don't have a working SI install (it's missing GRUB2 support anyway, so it's not all that useful to me anyway as it turns out) Anyone here want to work on a new SI with me? I see the following for Si2: * apache served kernel / fat initramfs via iPXE and http * cgi based system w/iPXE scripting that determines what image to load based on MAC * use udp-cast with streamed cpio and crc32 to verify integrity The fat initramfs will have all the tools needed to get more tools from the server via curl or wget. The server will house scripts to accomplish certain tasks that can be easily definable. the client will pull these and the definitions. The initramfs will just spin doing tasks, rather than switch_root. could even do emdebian as a small iscsi-based boot image rather than just a fat initramfs, although not sure what that would buy. Thoughts? Is it worth it, or is making SI work without hair pulling simpler? Honestly, I'm jonesin' to do the new one if anyone is into it.
