You can also use a stock Debian kernel with initrd. Have a look at http://www.uni-koeln.de/bin2/maillist/linux-fai/20070105.220333/174065 --
It depends - YMMV. When I tried this, I did not get all needed parameters through. Old notes I made in a mail draft as response to this thread, which I never sent because I never found the time again to check that further. " - saving logs on the right server could be changed by adding the LOGSERVER variable to fai.conf (and recreating the nfsroot, or also changing in nfsroot/etc/fai/fai,conf), but my system still tries to run fai-chboot on a server with the ip 1.2.3.4, which is the same as given on the kernel command line (but not used for ip config because dhcp is used later). - somehow the mounting of the config space takes a long while. I get portmap error messages. It seems, thet portmapper is not correctly run in this setup. - I am a bit confused about the problems with getting the installserver from dhcp... " So, in my opinion, this is a good idea to do it like this, and to get rid of the fai-kernels, but, at least when I last tried, it does not work nice and easy in the same way as it does with the fai-kernels. Have to investigate further, and maybe look if the problem might be solved in newer versions of the initrdtools. Henning
