Hi,
I have more or less solved the boot problem. I posted yesterday about being
unable to boot from a CD because it wasn't getting an IP address. I found
messages via google about the man page for live-boot being wrong. The
live-boot man page gives an example for the ip= boot parameter that doesn't
work. But I found that this does:
ip=eth0:144.92.166.191:255.255.255.0:144.92.166.1
Actually, that appears to get an IP address via DHCP. So I don't think the
parms after eth0 mean anything. But I haven't tried leaving them out yet.
I'm going to try that and then I'll post the results. But I thought I'd
better let you all know I've more or less solved the problem so nobody but
me wastes any time on it. Anyway, a full line for booting via nfsroot looks
something like this:
linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=live
ip=eth0:144.92.166.191:255.255.255.0:144.92.166.1
FAI_FLAGS="verbose,createvt" FAI_ACTION=install hostname=faiserver
That is very similar to what it looked like before the switch to grub2.
