Ah, that explains that the base.tgz and nfsroot will be Debian/Lenny. > In the wiki-howto is written that has to be lenny there also if you want to > build ubuntu. Is the wiki-articel incorrect in this part? It could be that this is a solution to the problems with the aufs/unionfs/livehelper (sorry, I don't remember exactly what the problems were) problems that often made using Ubuntu as a FAI server problematic. An interesting idea to solve these problems ( that might also be applicable to even run a FAI server on totally different, non-dpkg distributions by only having a debootstrap alienated). But then, these Wiki article is only about network install, and I doubt it was tested with fai-cd. You could try also changing the make-fai-nfsroot entry to be Ubuntu, too, and see if that helps - I'm not sure. > [...] > also with removing the ip part in the kernel line I'm getting the behavior > that fai-cd sends me to the busybox. Sorry, I don't know at the moment and cannot look into it. Maybe somebody else has an idea. Henning -- Henning Sprang http://www.sprang.de +49 (0) 176 82188257
