Hello! On Lucid Ubuntu 10.04 Running: FAI 3.4.2ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa1
I have my FAI setup fully functional with menu driven hostnames, ip assignment, and full automation. Yay! This works *great* for my virtual images where I can simply bring up the "kvm" console and watch them go and provide inputs. For my physical servers I must redirect all output to ttys0 at 9600/8/n/1. As of now, I lose console redirect during the FAI process and so cannot provide inputs for hostname/ip. Very frustrating! I have: 1.) added "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9" to the append line in /srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.cfg/default so it reads as follows; # generated by fai-chboot for host default with IP no IP default fai-generated label fai-generated kernel vmlinuz-2.6.32-26-generic append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.32-26-generic ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,reboot FAI_ACTION=install console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9 2.) in my /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/ I set up /etc/init/ttyS0.conf as follows: # ttyS0 - getty # # This service maintains a getty on ttyS0 from the point the system is # started until it is shut down again. start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345] stop on runlevel [!2345] respawn exec /sbin/getty -L 9600 ttyS0 vt102 --- Unfortunately, i'm missing something as I stated above, I lose console as soon as the kernel is picked up by tftp and the process begins. If anyone can lend insights into this issue I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks Shadow Roldan iWin, Inc. [email protected]
