Package: fai-server Version: 3.4.8 Severity: normal [crossposted from [email protected]]
currently I am creating a fai-image for a customized Debian squeeze distribution, which shall be bootable from an USB stick. I can boot this distribution through PXE. I can also create an ISO image, burn it on CD and boot without problems. If however I put the exact same image onto an USB stick, and I boot from there, I get a kernel panic. This works: create debian mirror using fai-mirror -c... /var/www/debmirror fai-cd -m /var/www/debmirror /tmp/demo.iso then burning on CD, then booting, everything works fine. This does not work: same steps as before. fai-cd -m /var/www/debmirror -u /media/stick then booting from USB stick, I get a kernel panic (see below). I also tried with the ISO image for i386 and amd64, (using FAI 3.4.8, kernel 2.6.32, size 563MB, http://fai-project.org/fai-cd/faicd-3.4.8.iso and http://fai-project.org/fai-cd/faicd64-3.4.8.iso) and transferred that on my USB stick as described in paragraph "FAI CD on a USB stick (using grub2)" on page http://fai-project.org/fai-cd/ but I get the same kernel panic (...snip...) mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init. /init: line 276: 6: Bad file descriptor [ 7.815880] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempt to kill init! (...snip...) I am using fai-3.4.8 (from testing) on a fresh Debian Squeeze amd64 installation. Before I used version fai-*-3.4.7 from stable, but in order to create a CD ISO image, a component was missing (I forgot which one), therefore I switched to version 3.4.8. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages fai-server depends on: ii debootstrap 1.0.26+squeeze1 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii fai-client 3.4.8 Fully Automatic Installation clien Versions of packages fai-server recommends: ii fai-setup-storage 3.4.8 automatically prepare storage devi ii isc-dhcp-server [dh 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze2 ISC DHCP server for automatic IP a ii libproc-daemon-perl 0.03-2 Run Perl program as a daemon proce ii nfs-kernel-server 1:1.2.2-4 support for NFS kernel server ii openbsd-inetd [inet 0.20080125-6 The OpenBSD Internet Superserver ii openssh-client 1:5.5p1-6 secure shell (SSH) client, for sec ii openssh-server 1:5.5p1-6 secure shell (SSH) server, for sec ii syslinux-common 2:4.02+dfsg-7 collection of boot loaders (common ii tftpd-hpa 5.0-18 HPA's tftp server Versions of packages fai-server suggests: ii apt-move 4.2.27-1+b7 Maintain Debian packages in a pack ii aptitude 0.6.3-3.2 terminal-based package manager (te ii debmirror 1:2.4.5 Debian partial mirror script, with ii genisoimage 9:1.1.11-1 Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem pn grub <none> (no description available) pn perl-tk <none> (no description available) -- Configuration Files: /etc/fai/apt/sources.list changed: deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian squeeze main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security squeeze/updates main contrib non-free deb http://localhost/clazzes squeeze-fancylibs-2 main deb http://localhost/ev-i squeeze-mokon-4.3 main /etc/fai/grub.cfg changed: set default=4 set timeout=20 if loadfont /boot/grub/ascii.pf2 ; then insmod png set gfxmode=640x480 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe terminal_output gfxterm fi if background_image /boot/grub/fai.png ; then set color_normal=black/black set color_highlight=red/black set menu_color_normal=black/black set menu_color_highlight=black/yellow else set menu_color_normal=white/black set menu_color_highlight=black/yellow fi insmod part_msdos insmod part_gpt if [ ${iso_path} ] ; then set loopback="findiso=${iso_path}" fi menuentry "+------------------------------------------------------+" { set gfxpayload=1024x768 linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=live } menuentry "| FAI-CD (c) ASDIS automatic installation |" { set gfxpayload=1024x768 linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=live } menuentry "| _VERSIONSTRING_ |" { set gfxpayload=1024x768 linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=live } menuentry "+------------------------------------------------------+" { set gfxpayload=1024x768 linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=live } menuentry "Fully Automatic Installation - asdisdemo" { set gfxpayload=1024x768 linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=live FAI_FLAGS="verbose,createvt" FAI_ACTION=install hostname=asdisdemo initrd /boot/initrd.img } /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf changed: NFSROOT=/srv/fai/nfsroot TFTPROOT=/srv/tftp/fai FAI_CONFIGDIR=/srv/fai/config FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="squeeze http://cdn.debian.net/debian"; FAI_ROOTPW='$1$kBnWcO.E$djxB128U7dMkrltJHPf6d1' FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--exclude=info --arch i386" -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
