<div> </div>
<div>Since I'm not in control of the DHCP and DNS Servers, I'm not able to boot via PXE so I have to boot the FAI install clients from CD.</div>
<div>I did my first steps with $CONFIG on a separate FAI-Server and it worked okay. Now I want to install a FAI Server from scratch using FAI. So I need FAI_CONFIG_SRC=file:///var/lib/fai/config instead of the NFS-config.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here the problems starts:</div>
<div>1. locales and keyboard-layout didn't work - okay I read the man-page and now build the CD with fai-cd -fMH.</div>
<div>Problem solved</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. I want to automatically integrate the Clients to a Windows AD (net join ads, samba and so on), so I need $DOMAIN to be recognized automatically.</div>
<div>With the following grub.cfg line (and $CONFIG on an existing FAI-Server) $DOMAIN is set correctly:</div>
<div>linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=live root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=172.16.0.123:/srv/fai/nfsroot FAI_FLAGS="createvt" FAI_ACTION=install FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://fai-server/srv/fai/config quiet</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I boot the same CD with grub.cfg line:</div>
<div>linux /boot/vmlinuz boot=live FAI_FLAGS="createvt" FAI_ACTION=install FAI_CONFIG_SRC=file:///var/lib/fai/config quiet</div>
<div>then $DOMAIN is empty and set to 'localdomain' (by get-boot-info?). Even when I add domain=XYZ or DOMAIN=XYZ to the kernel-line it is not recognized.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Seems to be a bug. Or is it a configuration problem that I don't see?</div>
<div>Does anyone have any idea or workaround?</div>
