I had the same problem with XFS and kernel-image-2.6.8-fai_1_i386.deb. XFS seems broken with this kernel, nobody seems to be using XFS and FAI on Linux 2.6. :( I have no idea where this can come from because when I recompiled my own kernel with the same configuration to add an ethernet module I needed, XFS worked. Maybe 2.6.8-fai has been compiled on a buggy OS (weird gcc, or something...). For your information, kernel-image-2.4.27-fai_1_i386.deb works fine with XFS; I'm now using it for my installations. -- Cyril Bouthors
