Recent version use dracut instead of live-initramfs. But I guess these problems are because you are using Ubuntu. When trying a new architecture please use Debian, so you make sure your problems do not come from using Ubuntu. Ubuntu and FAI is not running smoothly all the time and I myself cannot give any Ubuntu support. > And does FAI support ARM server or no? I never tried this, but in the past FAI was used on very different architectures with success (like PowerPC, Itanium, Sparc). There are some part that may be architecture specific. First PXE boot. Some architectures do not support PXE boot, but ARM seems to do so. Partitioning the hard disk (different disk labels like DOS, GPT, SPARC,...) is another part that may need some enhancement in FAI. But since we support DOS and GPT disklabel, ARM should be no problem. The last part is configuring the boot loader. I guess ARM is using uboot most of the time, and currently there's no configuration script in FAI for uboot. But this should not be a problem. Once again, please use FAI and Debian. This will cause much less problems when using FAI on a new architecture. If you have any problems, join #fai on irc or just post a mail, I'm happy to help you installing ARM machines with FAI. -- regards Thomas
