Ticket created with my Fixes at http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/175.

Please note that I cannot confirm that this works with a 64bit Core as I run dual-core 32Bit Processors in all my servers.

I have tested this on my system at home and also inside a VM but I do not guarantee anything!

Have fun,

PF.

The omnia has all of the following built in...   Accelerometer, Bluetooth, Touchscreen,JAVA + FLASH CAPABLE, does it need more to control linux MCE as well as the cheif?

It needs Java JSR-082.

My phone has Java and can run all sorts of downloadable apps, but because it doesn't support JSR-082, I can't use it as a MO.

I've just googled the Omnia and I can't find any reference to JSR-082 support, although I did find a comment on one site stating that Samsung do _not_ use JSR-082 so you may be out of luck.

On the up-side, it appears to run Windows Mobile, so you may not need JSR-082 as you caould run the windows MO natively, although you'd need to confirm this.

I'll try and get this done tonight.

I presume that if you are adopting 64-bit images, the 32-bit images will remain, or is the plan to phase out 32-bit support?

I've edited a few things in the Diskless_Setup.sh and Diskless_CreateFS.sh scripts and it now automatically generates the i386 image and deploys it to new MDs without needing to click the rebuild button in the MD Web interface page.

Success!

The Diskless_Setup.sh script now works on my DCERouter!

I'll post the amendments I had to make to this post and on my blog a bit later on today.

PF

*** Edit ***

The MDs are reporting that the AV wizard couldn't be started, so that needs investigation.  I've a feeling that the image my still require rebuilding but the base image is now created automatically.

Pleased to confirm that the diskless file-system has now been created and I'm awaiting the MD to reboot.

The sources.list change allowed the CreateTBZ.sh script to run without issue and I now have the i386.tar.bz2 file in the correct area.

I've just started a new MD PXE booting and so far the "Diskless_Setup.sh" has not failed (been going for a while now!)

If this works, I'll document what I've done and see if I can get it posted to the WIKI and fixed for the next version.

FAIL on the attempt to fix this by hand, have updated /etc/apt/sources.list as documented in the wiki and am re-running the CreateTBZ.sh script.

May well go to bed before it completes so will post an update tomorrow.

I've uncommented the lines in Diskless_CreateFS.sh and executed it for MD #64 (the newest addition to my system) it is now setting up a complete linux system including downloading packages via APT so I think I may be on to a winner.  

I'll keep you all updated.

Diskless setup now runs for a new MD, however it does not create the vmlinux image under /tftpboot/

Further investigation reveals that the kernel has not been installed into the /usr/pluto/diskless/#MD/boot dir.

Chrooting to this dir and trying to install a kernel shows that aptitude is not installed, apt-get is and it looks lik I need to install the kernel and kernel headers.

I'm guessing this is also done by the Diskless_CreateFS.sh script and whilst I've been looking through that script I've noticed that Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh has been commented out.

I'm going to look at this further and see if I can fix it.

pigdog,

OK, PXE was more promising, no announce to router by vmlinuz did not exist.

Have deleted both MDs and will retry creation.

OK, I gave it a go and hard-coded the deboostrapped.tar.bz2 into the Diskless_CreateFS.sh and then re-ran the "rebuild image".

I get a much more productive output from the web interface, I'll post the results of the next PXE attempt.

pigdog,

That's correct and I've tried it with a different MD device as well (never been seen by this system before) and get the same result.

Something I have noticed is that /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_Setup.sh calls /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateFS.sh which relies on being able to unpack /usr/pluto/install/PlutoMD-$Moon_Architecture.tar.bz2 however the only file in /usr/pluto/install that is similar to this is PlutoMD_Debootstraped.tar.bz2.

Could this be the issue?  If it is, where can I get the i386 tar.bz2 file?
