Package: fai-server Version: 5.0.1 Hello.
This bug is filed against fai-server, but actually I'm booting off the fai-cd64_small_5.0.1.iso from http://fai-project.org/fai-cd/. I boot from the CD and use grub to edit the command line. I add sshd,wait,debug to the default FAI_FLAGS of createvt,verbose. The system echos a message and sits in sleep 50000 as seen starting at this line in lib/subroutines: https://github.com/faiproject/fai/blob/5.0.1/lib/subroutines#L874 But, at that point, it hasn't started bash on an extra virtual terminal yet... so I cannot edit anything. This is because the sleep 50000 is inside task_confdir(), and the code that creates the virtual terminals lives inside task_setup(). Back in bin/fai, task confdir is called before task setup. (In fstart(), see https://github.com/faiproject/fai/blob/5.0.1/bin/fai#L165) I recommend simply moving the last lines of lib/subroutines: task_confdirs() to the bottom of task_setup(). I hope this helps. Cheers! --Dave
