Re: Read-only filesystem after moving to new server

[Leen Smit]

Hey All, Thanks ever so much for the pointers. Indeed the missing bnx2 driver was the problem.. On the old system we had a custom kernel with the driver build in. Im still not sure as to why I couldn't boot with this kernel anymore (the missing initrd..) but adding the firmware-bnx2 to /etc/fai/NFSROOT and creating a NFSROOT was sufficient to get everything working again.. Rather silly of me I didnt think of that (I was trying to recreate a custom kernel without success). One more question: Since when, and why, is FAI looking for the config files in $NFSROOT/var/lib/fai/config ? I had to copy my config over to that dir to get the FAI install working again, simply leaving the config in /srv/fai/config  resulted in a "cant find config" error... Again, thanks for all your help!

It shouldn't be if /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf has MODULES=most. -- Leen Smit Systems Admin Service2Media B.V.
