| - | ===== Level 2 Headline ===== | + | ===== 27 July ===== |
| + | - Working on deployment script. | ||
| + | - Completed the deployment script. | ||
| + | - There were small (and stupid) error which surfaced in the process of actual deployment, fixed them. | ||
| + | - Started the deployment process | ||
| + | - There was urgent need to support URL as boot.kernel.org mirror selection works at dns level. | ||
| + | - Adding /etc/resolv.conf to all the distributions with pre-configured value ''nameserver 208.67.222.222'' | ||
| + | - By end of the day, only debian was properly working over BKO. knoppix was getting stuck somewhere inbetween. | ||
| + | ===== 28 July ===== | ||
| + | - As mirror selection is done at DNS level, removed the entries for URL's from boot menu. | ||
| + | - added default ''/etc/resolv.conf'' to all distributions | ||
| + | - DSL is throwing following error | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | httpfs : getaddrinfo rom.etherboot.org - Name or service not known. | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | - About ubuntu, it is booting properly from squashfs, but ISO is not booting. Most probably I have messed up the script where selection between iso and squashfs is done | ||
| + | ===== 29-30 July ===== | ||
| + | - After some debugging I agree with Warthog now that the problem indeed is long boot parameters. | ||
| + | - Worked on fixing the problem by shortening the URL names. | ||
| + | - Shortened the Directory names | ||
| + | - Shortened the ISO names | ||
| + | - moved out the pxeknife part | ||
| + | ===== 31 July ===== | ||
| + | - After discussion with Warthog9, decided to revert back the old style. | ||
| + | - And the problem of long boot parameters will be solved by hardcoding the boot parameters inside initramfs. | ||
| + | - Realized the problem that we will be facing, | ||
| + | - Will need separate initramfs for all locations. (as location is hardcoded in) | ||
| + | - The change of location will trigger modification of code of all distributions :-( | ||
