FAI Installation Ends in Kernel Panic
Hi everyone,
Need urgent help in resolving this issue with FAI installation. I am installing Debian OS on a Dell PowerEdge R720 using Fully Automated Installation (FAI) Server. Initially the imaging server found the Dell R720 and loads the kernel and starts the boot process but stops at loading the kernel driver for NIC. The kernel version is 3.2.24. The network card is a Broadcom NetXtreme II 1GB Ethernet BCM57800. Quote:

Line 1: It can't find a root drive, and doesn't like "nfs" Where you have the kernel specified (grub.conf, lilo.conf) it usually says where the root is. You probably have kernel some_kernel root=nfs But it can't find nfs until it's much further along. Catch-22. Line 2: is telling you to put kernel some_kernel root=/dev/sdxx or something it can find Lines 3: Offers the drives it does see. It sees your cdrom - that's all Line 4: technobabble utterance as kernel commits hari kari |
May be this can help you to set up the server correctly and use the correct kernel options on the clients: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/NFS-Root.html
