Ubuntu FAI PPA and Lucid Lynx - Lucid Host

[Robert Markula]

On to the task of installing Ubuntu 10.04 (instead of Debian Lenny) on
the target host.

I've once again used the vanilla PPA packages (3.3.5ubuntu3) without any
modifications except the following:

# First, I've edited the /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf to set the
following option:

<snip>
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="lucid http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"
</snip>


# Then I've edited /etc/fai/apt/sources.list to look like this:

<snip>
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted

deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted
deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted

deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe
deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe
deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe

deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid multiverse
deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid multiverse
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates multiverse
deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates multiverse

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fai/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
</snip>

This works "basically" (in the sense that FAI does it's job) and the
host gets installed. However, I'm currently stuck with the host booting
straight into Memtest86+. Upon looking through the fai-setup.log [1],
I'm a bit worried by the line:

<snip>
ls: cannot access /boot/vmlinu*: No such file or directory
</snip>

On the target host the error.log[2] doesn't look any brighter:

<snip>
fai.log:Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched
"linux-image-486"
shell.log:ERROR: No kernel was installed. Have a look at shell.log
</snip>

The full fai.log is at [3].

I'm sure it's just some small config error I've overseen with my tired
eyes. Maybe someone has an idea what could be the reason that obviously
no kernel gets installed? I'm going to bed now.

Cheers,
Robert
