fai-setup

[Tuan A. Tran]

Hi,

Thanks Dominik. I followed your suggestion. However, I got the following error

umount: /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/dev/pts: not mounted
umount: /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/dev/shm: not mounted
umount: /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/proc/bus/usb: not mounted
Creating base.tgz
`/etc/fai/sources.list' -> `/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/apt/sources.list'
Upgrading /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot
Adding additional packages to /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot:

hdparm smartmontools parted mdadm lvm2
dnsutils ntpdate dosfstools cvs jove xfsprogs xfsdump
sysutils dialog discover mdetect libnet-perl netcat libapt-pkg-perl
grub lilo kudzu dmidecode
E: Broken packages

All packages had been installed in the system. I am confused about the
error "E: Broken packages"

In my case this was because I tried to mount from the same machine to the same machine and I discovered you can't do that.  Leaving the DEBIANMIRROR entry blank will allow the setup to continue if you're not using nfs for the mirror and if you are attempting to use it, can I suggest vsftpd server and a mount --bind command to bind the mirror to the ftp server directory to test the working of the rest of the setup.
