I've got to re-install a couple of nodes, and started the usual FAI routine.
This time, all 5 nodes get stuck in the same place:

How can I find out what's going wrong? A serial-over-LAN connection to the
BMC stops transmitting even 31 lines before Get:257 :(

No changes made to the FAI configuration space.

Any ideas?
