Hi all,

I'm sure this is a faq, but I couldn't seem to find the answer on the
wiki or the main FAI website.

I'm using FAI 2.8.4 and I need to update the kernel which gets booted
from within the nfsroot.  I have this kernel as a .deb in my mirror,
so I thought it would be as simple as just doing the following on my
FAI server:

  $ chroot /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.32

I also copied the vmlinuz image that installed in $nfsroot/boot to
/boot/fai for the the tftp/bootp section and update pxelinux.cfg/default
to boot this kernell as well.

However, I seem to be missing something.  When I try to install a
client now, it gets so far, then gets an error about not being able to
nfs mount the root directory from the FAI server.  I didn't see any
messages logged on the fai server anywhere, and the client wasn't upto
a point where I could poke around and look at things.

Any pointers and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
