I deleted and rebooted the MD, it PXE boots to the point where it tries to run the Diskless_Setup.sh then it fails as expected.

Here's what the output from the webinterface shows after I've rebuilt the image:

It executed this incredibly quickly and does not provide any dir-structure under /usr/pluto/diskless

I'm also struggling to find anything in the logs of relevance.

Hi,

Just to verify...

This is after you added the architecture type as i386 in wedadmin and rebuilt via the webadmin rebuild button that's associated with the MD?

[ProfFalken]

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?

[ProfFalken]

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.

[ProfFalken]

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

Have deleted both MDs and will retry creation.

[pigdog]

Hi,

Did you have PlutoMD-i386.tar.bz2 in the directory?

[ProfFalken]

pigdog,

nope, it doesn't exist.

[ProfFalken]

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.

Here's what in my directory.

dcerouter_111337:/usr/pluto/install# ls

[ProfFalken]

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.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  pluto-mythtv-player: PreDepends: libft-perl but it is not going to be installed

but it does look promising...

[ProfFalken]

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.

[pigdog]

Hi,

Myth failing...

sudo apt-get install pluto-mythtv-player

see if that passes... unless you've done that.

[ProfFalken]

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.

PF.

[ProfFalken]

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