Hi,
I'm trying to use fai for my first time. It's also the first time I get in
contact with nfs and these things. So maybe the following questions a very
simple...
I use an debian etch server with DHCP an DNS.
1.
I setup fai following the guide from the website. There is an existing dhcp server an I add
use-host-decl-names on;# <====================
server-name faiserver;# <====================
next-server faiserver;# <====================
filename "fai/pxelinux.0";# <====================
to the dhcp.conf an resarted dhcp.
There are also hosts like these:
host static00 {
hardware ethernet 00:90:F5:67:64:3F;
fixed-address static00;
}
2.
I also complement the inetd.conf, now there is this line inside:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s
/srv/tftp/
after this: /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart
3.
In the fai.conf i complement
LOGUSER=fai
an in mke-fai-nfsroot.conf
FAI_ROOTPW='my password' (with md5)
The rest i leave untouched, especially there is this entry
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="etch http://ftp.debian.org/debian";
4.
The /etc/exports contains these entries
/srv/fai/config 10.0.2.2/255.255.254.0(async,ro,no_subtree_check)
/srv/fai/nfsroot
10.0.2.2/255.255.254.0(async,ro,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
5.
The 50-host-classes now looks like these
case $HOSTNAME in
static*)
echo "FAIBASE DEMO FAISERVER" ;;
demohost)
echo "FAIBASE DHCPC DEMO" ;;
gnomehost)
echo "FAIBASE DHCPC DEMO XORG GNOME";;
atom*)
echo "FAIBASE DHCPC DEMO" ;;
*)
echo "FAIBASE DHCPC" ;;
esac
(ifclass I386 || ifclass AMD64) && echo GRUB
exit 0
-----------
The problem
-----------
When booting the client, after some time it stops by printing:
VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs" or unknown-block (2,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block
(2,0)
So, something went wrong while mounting the nfs directory, but i do not
know, how to handle this error.
Bye, martin
