Dear all,
I am currently trying to generate a NFSroot for both our 64 and 32bits
desktop machines, but i'm not having much success. I've tried running
make-fai-nfsroot and fai-setup under linux32. And while it does generate
a nfsroot, it's still all 64bits.
Installing a fai server on a 32bits machine is not really an option,
since we don't have lots of 32 bits machines available anymore and
because it makes managing the nfsroots a lot more complicated, unless
there's ofcourse no other choice.
Does anyone have any ideas to solve this problem?
Yes. We are running an install server that is 32 bit but has a 64 bit
kernel with 32bit support. This only so we can debootstrap in 32 or 64 bit.
When we boot our client we boot a 64 bit kernel with 32 bit support.
Our nfsroot is 32 bit but has baseimage files voor 64 bit.
So when a 64 bit client is to be installed we make sure that the 64BIT
class is defined. If that is the case the 64bit baseimage file is
unpacked so we get a 64bit system.
Have a look in the archives, for posts of me and you will surely find
something that is helpful.
