Week - 5
Week 5 is not going well for me
Nothing on project front but other fronts are taking lot of time.
Plan for this week
- I plan for following things for this week.
- to get Ubuntu working in BKO
- Add custom script support to rom-o-matic.net code
- Design simple interface for BKO which will support static IP embedding in gpxe.
23 - 24 June
- Fooling around with Ubuntu to add BKO support. There are two problems.
- It is little tricky than what I had expected.
- I am not able to give my 100% yet to this problem.
25-26 June
- Ubuntu booting tracking UbuntuBKO
- Ubuntu booting with BKO is done, but there is some problem of squashfs
- It seems there is some timeout happening because of ubuntu is not booting up.
- The problem is documented at Ubuntu+BKO booting issues
- I am not able to debug it effectively as the problem is not in initrd but when it is booting using actual root filesystem which is mounted over HTTP.
- I am stuck here and dont know how to debug it.
- I am not sure if this is because of the ISO image size of ubuntu because knoppix is working fine which is having same image size.
27 June
- Added embedded script support to rom-o-matic.net. commit here
- The plan is to use this embedded scripting support to add BKO support and static ip configuration by uses support on top of it.
- I documentations about the method used for this is documented RomOMaticBKO
