OK, got this one fixed with a little help from my friends, who gave me an EEpro/100. Perfect for now. RAID is not an issue on this machine (that's the other one :-) > - install the necessary FAI packages there and run make-fai-nfsroot apt-get install fai-server fai-kernels # fine fai-setup -v # causes problems: Setting up mdadm (2.5.2-7) ... W: failed to load RAID subsystem. Generating device nodes... done. Generating mdadm.conf... done. invoke-rc.d: initscript mdadm-raid, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing mdadm (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Is there any quick fix? Trying to remoce mdadm from the package list at the end of make-fai-nfsroot.conf, I get E: package cfengine has no installation candidate and indeed "testing"/"etch" doesn't have cfengine (as package.debian.org shows). So I follow their suggestion to replace it with cfengine2 (not knowing whether the two are really interchangeable - at a first glance there is no /usr/bin/cfengine anymore!), and by supplying the proper kernel, I succeeded building the nfsroot. How to proceed? Will cfengine2 do instead of cfengine? Will I have to add sarge repositories to the sources.list files to get cfengine? Suggestions welcome. Cheers, Steffen
