error while running fai-setup for ubuntu-edgy

[Muniven Shekar-PTH473]

Hi Prafash,

The kernel version of edgy (the ubunutu release, that I am bundling) is
2.6.17-10. But I am not finding the patch for this version in the site -
http://download.filesystems.org/unionfs. Is it OK to apply the patch
which is for 2.6.18.8 (unionfs-2.1.1_for_2.6.18.8.diff.gz)?

Thanks,
Shekar

Hi Shekar,

Can you check if you have "uniofs" filesystem support with the kernel ?
If not get the patch from http://download.filesystems.org/unionfs
and rebuild the kernel.

I had the same error and thomas asked me to try this.  And worked for
me.

Thanks,
Prafash
