Bug#702422: installation-reports: Successful 6.0.6 auto-install netboot (pxe) on Alix-2 using ttyS0 as console (hands-off)
Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
After reading http://hands.com/d-i and a lot of tries,
searching on how to do this via serial console only,
understanding that network install require that
initrd and vmlinuz by synchronised before (each) use...
This work fine and don't require (direct) human interaction.
-- Package-specific info:
Boot method: network
Image version: debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images netboot/netboot.tar.gz 'tar -zxC /srv/tftp ./debian-installer/i386/{linux,initrd.gz}'
Date: <Date and time of the install>
Machine: Alix 2D3
Partitions: <df -Tl will do; the raw partition table is preferred>

Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Just adding 1st line in pxe for serial an prompt for auto-run
# cat /srv/tftp/alix/pxealix.cfg
serial 0 38400
display alix/alix.txt
include alix/menu.cfg
default Linux
prompt 1
timeout 10
Create an appropriate syslinux config:
# cat /srv/tftp/alix/live.cfg
label Linux
menu label Linux
kernel debian-installer/i386/linux
append initrd=debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz auto=true \
priority=critical url=192.168.12.2 DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 \
netcfg/choose_interface=eth0 -- console=ttyS0,38400
Correct pressed file as Alix 2D3 hold 3 ethernet interfaces,
so prevent choice question:
...
d-i netcfg/choose_interface select eth0
But one of the WORST thing i've done was to not use swap:
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS:
WHY `NO_SWAP` SETTED TO `FALSE` DO PERMIT NO SWAP!?
...
d-i partman-basicfilesystems/no_swap boolean false
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-root :: 500 10000 1000000000 ext3 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ / } .
...
Installing and runing last configuration script is done with:
d-i preseed/run string late_command.sh
d-i preseed/late_command string /bin/sh /tmp/lastjob.sh
