Ah.

I just recently sucesfully tested installation of a working FAI Server on lenny(installed as "demohost" before with Thomas's FAI cd 3.2.16) without that problem. But I remember now, there was one strange thing I realized this weekend in some systems installed with fai-cd/fai-usb: they can have some /etc/hosts entries which I did not really understand(but they are related to the ip settings entries in /etc/fai/menu.list) and which in my case somehow broke the whole networking on a host. Removing them made things work. But nothing that forced me to fiddle with stuff in /etc/init.d/* > It seems that I must debug the problem a little bit more and give > more details that somebody can help. Or, even better: find the real cause, and at least the config setting that makes it work instead of an edit of /etc/init.d/* :) First thing you should try is probably checking what happens with a default configspace, and then whether the problem only happens with a usb stick install and not with a fai-cd and network install.
