Generating bootfloppy to install Sarge in a Woody server

[Andre Luis Lopes]

Hello all,

    I'm trying to generate a bootfloppy in order to install Sarge from 
an install server which runs Woody itself. I already created the nfsroot 
just fine and when I try to generate the bootfloppy I'm getting an error 
message like this :

fai-server:~# make-fai-bootfloppy -v 
"FAI_FLAGS=verbose,createvt,sshd,syslogd,reboot" "FAI_ACTION=install"
Using configuration files from directory /etc/fai.
Creating an ext2 filesystem on floppy device /dev/fd0.
mke2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
Creating the boot floppy with grub.
Copying the kernel /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot_sarge/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26-1-386 
to the floppy.
/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot_sarge/sbin/grub: /lib/libc.so.6: version 
`GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot_sarge/sbin/grub)
fai-server:~#

   It seems that grub from the nfsroot is trying to access the libc6 
copy from outside the chroot and having problems as it seems that grub 
from inside the chroot was probably built against libc6 from Sarge, 
which is newer and so the symbol is not found.

    Question : does someone knows if this can be workarounded or I would 
really need to build a install server based on Sarge ?
