Package: fai Version: 2.8.4 Severity: important When I created a fai-cd from an nfsroot which uses the fai-kernels package 2.6.8.x, defined in the variable KERNELPACKAGE in /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf in line like this:
KERNELPACKAGE=/usr/lib/fai/kernel/kernel-image-2.6.8-fai_1_i386.deb and try to boot and install with this cd, I get the following error after chosing either install or sysinfo in the grub menu and entering the password, after some more boot messages that are as they should: --- error screen start --- Gibraltar ... loading searching for CD.... trying to locate cdrom: no ATAPI CD-ROM drives found searching for installed SCSI adapters... /linuxrc: 561: cannot create: Directory nonexistent /linuxrc: 561: cannot open: no such file /linuxrc: 561: wc: not found /linuxrc: 561: yes: not found /linuxrc: 561: cannot create: Directory nonexistent /linuxrc: 561: head: not found /linuxrc: 561: cannot create: Directory nonexistent --- error screen end --- When using the default 2.4.27 fai-kernels included kernelpackage, I get a a "working" fai-cd. I put severity on important because this makes a lot of trouble and creating and burning cd's to find out how to get a fai-cd working, and a fai-cd should simply work with the kernels included in the fai-kernels package without such trouble, or at least warn users. A quick workaround saving users lots of hassle would just be to check if a kernel 2.6 is used and then tell them that this doesn't work. Henning (hoping to be able to create a patch at least for checking for the known as not to work kernel image version in the near future) --
