Hi List, Debian guest on Gentoo host: Someone care to give me a hint here? Situation: I have a gentoo host (linux-2.6.32-vserver-2.3.0.36.28) with util-vserver 0.30.216_pre2883. I have been using gentoo vservers for years without problems. Now, I have to setup a debian guest, and ran into problems almost immediately. Following the guide on linux-vserver.org ( http://linux-vserver.org/Building_Guest_Systems#Building_guests_using_the_debootstrap_build_method ) and running >vserver dt build -m debootstrap --context 248 --hostname dt --interface \ > eth0:192.168.42.248/24 -- -d lenny -m http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian gave >Could not find local version of 'debootstrap'; downloading it from >http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.20_all.deb... >http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.20_all.deb: >2010-05-18 09:30:22 FEIL 404: Not Found. >ERROR: Could not download the debootstrap package from > > http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.20_all.deb > >Usually, this means that Debian released a new version which is unknown >to util-vserver and removed the known ones. To fix this, go to > > http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/ > >(or a nearby mirror) and search the URL for the most recent *.deb >package matching your platform. Then, put this URL into > > /etc/vservers/.defaults/apps/debootstrap/uri > >and retry the vserver-build command again. which was an understandable message, so I did as requested by doing mkdir /etc/vservers/.defaults/apps/debootstrap and adding the uri below to the following file /etc/vservers/.defaults/apps/debootstrap/uri http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.22_all.deb (as there seems to be no specific amd64 package anymore...) Rerunning >vserver dt build -m debootstrap --context 248 --hostname dt --interface \ > eth0:192.168.42.248/24 -- -d lenny -m http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian now gives >Could not find local version of 'debootstrap'; downloading it from >http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.22_all.deb... >2010-05-18 09:46:21 >URL:http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.22_all.deb >[57090/57090] -> "/var/tmp/debootstrap.RKmFEc/debootstrap.deb" [1] >I: Retrieving Release >E: Invalid Release file, no entry for main/binary-GenuineIntel/Packages >chroot-sh: open("/etc/apt/sources.list"): No such file or directory >secure-mount: chdir("/tmp"): No such file or directory >/etc/vservers/dt/fstab:2:1: failed to mount fstab-entry >vcontext: execvp("bash"): No such file or directory >wait(): No child processes > >An error occured while executing the vserver startup sequence; when >there are no other messages, it is very likely that the init-script >(bash -c > exec > /dev/null > exec 2> /dev/null > trap 'kill -s 9 -- -1; exit 0' INT > sleep 30 > kill -s 15 -- -1 > sleep 1 > kill -s 9 -- -1) failed. > >Common causes are: >* /etc/rc.d/rc on Fedora Core 1 and RH9 fails always; the 'apt-rpm' build > method knows how to deal with this, but on existing installations, > appending 'true' to this file will help. > > >Failed to start vserver 'dt' >'vserver ... suexec' is supported for running vservers only; aborting... >'vserver ... suexec' is supported for running vservers only; aborting... >'vserver ... suexec' is supported for running vservers only; aborting... >'vserver ... suexec' is supported for running vservers only; aborting... which make me a feel a bit lost :) E: Invalid Release file, no entry for main/binary-GenuineIntel/Packages seems to be the critical error, but having little experience with debian, I am not sure where to begin. If anyone care to help, I'll update the wiki afterwards. - Tor Rune Skoglund trs@sg.no
