Between working through getting dirinstall to build Xen VMs and upgrades to FAI I appear to have broken FAI PXE builds and could use some help.
The FAI server is a Ubuntu 18.04 system with a Buster nfsroot. The Ubuntu system has FAI 5.9.4 and the Buster nfsroot is 5.10.1. The Ubuntu host is at 5.9.4 because the newer version of FAI uses a shell command not available in Ubuntu 18.04. (Don't remember exactly which one right now and I want to get this note in the mail.) What I am seeing is the that everything on the build goes fine until GRUP_PC/10_setup. 10_setup exists with error status of 1. The resulting system does not boot, well, boots to a blank screen. Looking at the system I see that /boot/grub/ does not contain a grub.cfg. The grub package that is in my packages configuration is grub-pc. The 10_setup script is setting debconf-set-selections in /target and then running dpkg-recongfigure grub-pc. When I do this manually the command returns without creating a grub.cfg. Maybe this should be update-grub? So, if someone has seen a similar problem please let me know how you solved the issue. Otherwise, I would appreciate a couple pointers for things I should be looking at. Thanks in advance, Bill -- Bill MacAllister <[email protected]>
