Hi,
I feel a bit stupid writing this as I must have solved this already
before, but obviously the correct neurons are not firing this afternoon.
I recently updated the build server to FAI 4. I had it working OK till
this morning when I broke something.
I had to regenerate my nfsroot this morning because I needed cfengine2 and
'fai-make-nfsroot -k' was trying to do drastic things (like remove
dracut).
After I rebuilt it, I had to do a few things like copy fai.conf in (the
default example was included instead of the working copy). There's
obviously something I did last time that I can't remember, as I'm having
the following problem.
I need to access apt repos through a web proxy. When it gets to
task_updatebase, it can't resolve the address of the web proxy. Example:
Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com quantal-security InRelease
Temporary failure resolving '<proxyhost>'
Something in the scripts must be fixing it however, as by the time
scripts/LAST/50-misc runs, it runs OK.
I've checked /etc/resolv.conf on the build server, in the NFS root and in
/target on the machine being installed. All looks fine by the time te
install ends, but obviously something is amiss before that.
as I say, it was working this morning before I rebuilt the nfsroot, so
I've obviously just forgotten something but I'm blowed if I know what.
Any ideas welcome.
Oh and yes this is the same box I've been trying to install for over a
week now and it's still needed yesterday.
Thanks,
Geoff.
