Hello @ all;
my apologies to the list if this has already been discussed. In that
case I'd be grateful if someone could give me a hint as to where I can
find the associated information; thanks.
Now, I just don't seem to get it or I'm doing something very wrong
when I'm trying to install the host demohost.
The FAI-Server is set up with fai 2.5.1 and fai-kernels 1.5.3. There
is also a DHCP-Server running. The client boots with no problems. The
files from /usr/share/doc/fai/examples/simple/ haven been copied to
/usr/share/fai.
This is the pxelinux.cfg:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# generated by fai-chboot for host demohost
default fai-generated
label fai-generated
kernel vmlinuz-install
append ip=dhcp devfs=nomount FAI_ACTION=install root=/dev/nfs
FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt,syslogd
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is from /usr/share/fai/class/LAST.var:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
mktable() {
# Here, you have to add all your hosts
# This is the table: host -> action
cat <<-EOT
kueppers install
bigfoot sysinfo
pittermaennche install
demohost install
EOT
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
However, when demohost boots via PXE, it always ends up with
FAI_ACTION set to "sysinfo".
This is from /home/fai/demohost/last/rcS.log:
