Package: fai-server
Version: 3.1.6
Severity: important
Correct me if I'm wrong but make-fai-nfsroot works roughly like this.
1. calls deboutstrap to create base filesystem
2. installs/configures packages defined in /etc/fai/NFSROOT
3. installs the nfsroot kernel
The problem lies on how the third part is done. Before installing the kernel
deb file, you simply wipe the contents of the lib/modules/$kernel-version
directory.
I've tried to install a third-party module (packaged modules for example
open-afs modules) inside the NFSROOT and it simply
doesn't work because the file gets installed in step 2, then deleted in step
3. In fact, there seems to be the same problem when suppressing the kernel.
No care has been taken in removing the files that belong to the kernel.deb
file only (and not deleting the whole directory).
Why not simply using the dpkg -i command on install (without deleting the
whole contents before) ? This is what I did this afternoon and it works.
How about using dpkg -r to remove the kernel from NFSROOT ? Is this too
trivial/dumb ?
