Hi Thomas, I looked the output of make-fai-nfsroot and found that the installation process complained when it tried to configure dhcp3-client.
As a test (maybe dangerous), I remove dhcp3-client in the line which starts "packages=...". Then I installed an old version of mknbi for my master server (amd64). After that I ran fai-setup -v and everything seems to be OK. I got the following output -------------------------- `/etc/fai/fai.conf' -> `/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/fai/fai.conf' `/etc/fai/fai.log' -> `/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/fai/fai.log' `/etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf' -> `/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf' `/etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.log' -> `/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.log' `/etc/fai/menu.lst' -> `/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/fai/menu.lst' `/etc/fai/sources.list' -> `/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/fai/sources.list' `/usr/share/fai/etc/apt.conf' -> `/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/apt/apt.conf' Shadow passwords are now on.

FAI setup finished. -------------------------------------------------------- >From what I read in FAI manual. This is done. Now I encounted another problem. When I booted a client (using pxe boot ROM), it complains about no tftp (TFTP: file error). I see tftpd-hpa daemon running and dhcp3-server running. What could be my error here? Sincerely, Tuan
