How to get it working.

Diskless Boot

1. Unrecognized NIC

The driver for the JMicron JMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller needs to be first installed, before the MD will netboot.

1. wget ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/Ethernet/Linux/jme-1.0.6.1.rar
2. apt-get install unrar -y
3. unrar x jme-1.0.6.1.rar
4. cd jme-1.0.6.1
5. make install
6. cp jme.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/
7. sudo <editor-of-choice> /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules

- adding 'jme'

boot your MD

1. sudo cp /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/jme.ko /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/jme.ko

1. sudo nano /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/modules

- adding 'jme'

1. sudo nano /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/initramfs-tools/modules

- adding 'jme'

then create a new initial ram disk

1. cd /usr/pluto/diskless/
2. chroot <mediadirector-id>
3. depmod
4. cd /boot
5. mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-`uname -r` `uname -r`
6. exit

This will create a new initial ramdisk for the first boot of new MDs containing the jme module. Now, the first boot of the diskless MD will succeed and a new diskless media director will be created.
