Hi Till,

thanks for the quick response, i will check if ide emulation is
available.

The other workstations we want to install have SCSI drives, and i have
the same issues than somebody else had with the hardcoded drive hda in
/etc/ani.cfg in the pxelinux image :)

Oh yes it does! SATA is not yet supported :( We will change this with 
the next kernel update. If you're lucky, your BIOS offers an IDE

Ok, this was my fault. After the copying stopped i simply restarted
/etc/main.pl without unmounting the filesystems.
My original error that was trapped before i did that was:

 dirCopy::copy:(/mnt/inst/i386 -> /mnt/img) Illegal seek (256) 

So, any hints on that one?
The disks are SATA drives, maybe this causes a failure.

[Ani-users] Interrupted transfers from samba share

[Alex G. <al...@vi...>]

Hi everybody,

i use ANI for the first time, have setup a tftp-server and a samba
share where my files are located on. I boot my client, the client
boots pxe, runs the linux kernel, does a dhcp request and mounts the
share. After transferring some files the client software die()s with a
fatal error message from MountParts::part(8192). 
I tried to search mailing list archives, but didn't find a similar
error.
Any hints on fixing this. I'm familiar to perl so i could debug the
problem further if somebody would give me some first hints ;)

cheers, alex

I don't think so: ANI got the name of your server (Connection to 
'\\SRVIPA01\Ai386' failed!). Looks like a samba problem.

Try the debug level I mentioned in my last message!

ani.cf[0..2] belong to its specific install mode: cf0 -> new; cf1 -> 
update; cf2 -> nonet.

You should not change their file names. linuxrc copies the according 
file to /etc/ani.cfg.

Edit ani.cf0 to overwrite the data coming from your dhcp server.

Re: [Ani-users] Re: Connecting InstShare fails

[David B. <big...@gm...>]

I think the problem is somewhere around DHCP. I can't see that a
device is getting an IP. Normal clients get one, but this client
doesn't get one.

This is probably a newbie-like question but do I have to rename one of
the ani.cf0, ani.cf1 oder ani.cf2 into ani.cfg and make changes or
should the floppy disk work without changes?

I'm betting this is the problem here.

It looks like you've typed a strange default route command ("metric"
should never appear in the command, it's a reference to the priority of
the route).

Where did you set that command?

[David B. <big...@gm...>]

I tryed some settings with DNS and DHCP and got several new errors.
Here they are:

---
Usage: ifconfig <interface> [<address>]

route: can't resolve gw metric
Setting up name server (etc/resolv.conf)

Connecting InstShare...
Installation Share unknown!
Organisation Unit unknown!
Packages Share unknown!
Installer Account unknown!/etc/init.rc: cannot create : No such file

Cannot mount device ' ' !                                       failed
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

What is going on now? What could be wrong? I followed excatly the
instructions on the web
(http://ani.sourceforge.net/installation.php?lang=de /or lang=en if
you wish).

Thanks

Re: [Ani-users] Connecting InstShare fails

Hi David

ANI is a part of your exam? We are very honoured ;)

To your problem:

 > the following error:
 >

Your card sould at least be supported by the CD ROM boot media. Is there 
a eth0: ... line somwhere in the kernel boot messages? If yes, the 
module has benn correctly loaded.

Try to mount the share by it's IP address: \\192.168.x.y\Ai386. If this 
solves the problem, you have a name reolve issue.

Hardcode the plaintext password in your ani.conf (INSTPWD=...). If this 
solves the problem, you have an en-/decryption issue.

Did you set the passphrase correctly, using encrypt with the default 
hash key (adrv354ggsdgs433)? What does your dhcpd.conf look like?

You can get some debug informations from smbmount when you start the ANI 
debug shell before the share gets mounted:

1. Set OPEN_SHELL=y in the appropriate ani.cfg
2. Boot ANI
3. Try to mount the share with a samba debug level > 0 by hand:
    smbmount //SRVIPA01/Ai386 /mnt/inst -o debug=10,password=<YOUR PASSWORD>
What does the output say?

Good luck
Till

Are you using a samba share? If you do, you could try to increase the
smbd debug level some more to see what's happening (smbcontrol smbd
debug <number>). If you use a w2k server you might see something in
the event log too. Be sure, that the host can resolve the
windows name srvipa01. Without further logs it's hard to say what's
causing the problem.

[Ani-users] Connecting InstShare fails

[David B. <big...@gm...>]

Hi all

As you can read in the subject I can't connect to the InstShare. I get
the following error:

---

Connecting InstShare...
Connection to '\\SRVIPA01\Ai386' failed!
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

---

I searched through the archive and found some entries with the same
problem. My problem seems to be different because none of the
solutions or tips given by the users seem to work.

I use a 3com network card and the drivers should be supported (or
not?). I also tryed to boot from the boot-CD but the error is the
same. I think it has something to do with the encrypted password.

It would be nice if somebody could help me becaues ANI is part of my exam!

Thanks alot to you guys...don't make me install RIS pleaaaaaaase

No there are no errros indicated in prenet.log, it says:

But after installation there is no "AFS Client Admins" Group. It seems 
that having spaces in the groups name doesn't work...

That doesn't help even if I ommit the comma.

[Ani-users] pxe ani.cfg problem and suggestion

[Thomas S. <ths...@gm...>]

Dear list,

I would like to use ani to setup WinXP over Network on a machine that
has only SCSI disks, but neither a CDROM nor a floppy drive (think of
a web-kiosk/info display system)

Normally, i would have to change the INSTDEV variable in ani.cf0 from 
INSTDEV=hda to INSTDEV=sda on the install medium

Because these PCs have no drives, but supports PXE, I have chosen the
PXE installation variant. (Documentation is a little sparse, BTW)

It does not work because ani can't derive the harddisk size. Further
investigation shows that it looks for a IDE drive (hda) This is
because the ani.cfg that is included in the initrd_pxe.gz has been
configured in such a way.

Now the question: Is there an easy was how I can override the configuration via
Network somehow before the start of main.pl ??? I need to set INSTDEV=sda.

If such a way does not exist yet, I would like to suggest to have a
directory somewhere on the smb share that includes ani.cf's aswell a
file that maps a ani.cfg
to an IP address or some such thing... This is really annoying and
limitting the usefulness of ANI if booted from PXE.

Comments welcome & Best Regards
Thomas

Re: [Ani-users] Adding a group

[<h.m...@su...>]

Hi,

do you have a certain error message in c:\winnt\logs\postwin.log ?
A first idea: Avoid spaces after the comma, i.e.:

AFS Client Admins=3DAFS Admin Group,needed for the OpenAFS client

instead of

AFS Client Admins=3DAFS Admin Group, needed for the OpenAFS client

Hi,

as far as I know their is no way to enable or disable LBA mode on a IBM =

[Ani-users] Adding a group

[Andreas B. <abu...@hs...>]

Hi,

I need to add a group "AFS Client Admins" for the openafs client. Adding 
an entry like

AFS Client Admins=AFS Admin Group, needed for the OpenAFS client

to winset.tpl doesn't add the group. Maybe because of spaces within the 
group name. Anyway I also tried to quote it, but it didn't have any 
effect. Next I tried to add the group with the "net localgroup" command 
in the install script, but unfortunately this didn't work either (it 
seems that the net localgroup command isn't available during ANI 
installation). Does anybody have an idea what might cause the troubles?

Thanks,
Andi

Re: [Ani-users] Could not find a DC for the domain

[Hagen M. <h.m...@su...>]

Hi,

in the attachment you can find the patched postwin.pl and its diff
respectively. I couldn't test it yet. If it's tested I'll put to SF for
download.
The diff file was made with the version 1.5 of postwin.pl which ist the
current version in the CVS at SF, i.e. it's not appliable  with the
version 1.4 of the current ANI release ani-1.1.1. So just use the
attached postwin.pl. To apply it, just replace the postwin.pl in
\\<servername>\AI386\I386\$OEM$\$1\install . Then you have to provide a
further DHCP option 'nt-dom' (code 206) and pass your domain name
('spc') as its value.

Hope it helps.

Re: [Ani-users] Could not find a DC for the domain

[Hagen M. <h.m...@su...>]

Hi,

the configuration seems to be ok. Such a problem normally occurs, if the 
netbios domain is not derived from the AD structure e.g. in the case 
that you have migrated a previous NT4 domain. Is it? I attached a small 
perl script (finddc.pl ) to test the 'GetDomainController' function. 
Execute the script on an ANI machine (e.g. RM12720) and pass a domain 
name to the script (perl finddc.pl <domain name>). Play around with the 
arguments 'stpats', 'stpats.school' and 'stpats.school.nz'.

There is a patch from Graham Dunn to resolve the problem of migrated NT4 
domains. If you can wait a further day, I'll send you the patched 
postwin.pl.

The fact that you don't have a OU Computers has nothing to do with the 
mentioned problem. If you are using the standard container Computers the 
right notation for the DHCP option 201 is 
'cn=Computers,dc=stpats,dc=school,dc=nz' .
