similar to: [PATCH] builder: templates: set "unassigned" hostname

I''ve been working on this on the odd occasion, I think it mostly works, or it did last I tried which was a while back. I''m sure it is too hacky in places. My plan was to clean it up on the next test day. I''m mostly just sending this for Wei''s benefit since he is independently looking at adding Debian HVM guest tests for OVMF purposes. Ian. commit

I've very new to this... what I want to achieve, is to have my clients network boot - and then be presented with a menu, allowing them *well, me* to choose what to do. Maybe, boot from the main hard disk, or boot a disk image from a samba share, or maybe even boot a CD image, instead of having the actual CD in the drive. Also, I would want to be able to change this menu, without actually

Hi, this series improves the generation of Debian templates, automating basically almost all the steps needed. Also, it fixes the generation of aarch64 images with NVRAM, which is currently removed too soon, and thus not saved and compressed. Thanks, Pino Toscano (5): builder: templates: update Debian preseed from Stretch builder: templates: generalize debian location builder: templates:

RFC v2 of this series This series implements a basic test job for OVMF guest. The test case will install an OVMF guest and try to boot it. It is also possible to derive a debian HVM installation test case from ts-ovmf-debian-install - the only difference should be the BIOS option. I tested running the test script without specifying BIOS, it worked fine. I just didn''t figure out a

I am trying to come up with a 'clever' way to pxe-boot boxes that don't have any way to pxe boot. as in, old laptops that only have pc-mica nics. "Etherboot does not (yet) offer support for PCMCIA cards." http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/pcmcia_support I am not trying to do 'that' - just trying to come up with a process to work around it. Something like this:

Hello, I am trying to do a non-interactive installation on a system with only a serial port console. The serial port only piece is working and most of the questions are pre-seeded (answered). However, I can't seem to figure out what the question codes are for these last seven. :( ``debconf-get-selections'' did not print anything out that I can correlate with these questions. Where

Hi, I'm using PXELINUX and I'm getting "Out of memory parsing config file" when network booting. I have a lot of entries in my default file under pxelinux.cfg and if I delete some entries the error disapear. Is there a limit for number of entries? How can I increase them? My entries are like these: DISPLAY boot.txt LABEL debian-Debian6.0.6-amd64 ??? kernel

Hi all. I am trying to use debian package preseeding within my modules. Therefor I have created a preseed_package.pp like: define authentication::preseed_package ( $ensure ) { file { "/var/local/preseed/$name.preseed": source => "$module_path/files/$name.preseed", mode => 600, backup => false, require => File["/var/local/preseed"], } package {

22:06 < adam12> rwmjones: If you're still around, just curious - any reason why the ubuntu14 image doesn't come with `dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server` already configured for firstboot? The reason is because I couldn't work out how to automate this in the preseed script. If you want to have a go, then see:

Hi, I would like to set the puppet labs repository on my preseed ubuntu file.

Create a new directory (builder/template). Integrate all of the scripts into a single program, so that templates are generated more consistently. This also changes how the index file is generated. The script now generates the index file fragment and saves it under version control, and then generates the final index file by concatenating these. (Previously the index was written by hand which was

Hi, We create virtual machine image templates by doing automated minimal installations of different Linux distributions (via preseed/kickstarter/autoyast). At the end of the installation, we remove the SSH host keys (rm -f /etc/ssh/ssh*_key*). Fresh SSH host keys will be generated on the first boot of the image instances. This is done by adding a "dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server" call

Hi, I''ve just changed my debian preseed configuration to install the debian unstable package of puppet v0.22.1. As part of the preseed I have a late command that clobbers the /etc/init.d/puppet file into using the puppet standalone program and not the puppetd (as this is what I''m using). Since the upgrade to 0.22.1 every boot hangs during the initd. Going into standalone mode
