Did you ever fill out the FAI questionnaire? I'm always very interested in user experiences with FAI. Please fill out http://fai-project.org/questionnaire > Now I tried installing Ubuntu 14.04 using FAI. This is much more interesting. I like to help as much as I can for making this work, since a lot of people like to use FAI on Ubuntu and I did not get any feedback about running FAI with the newest Ubuntu version. First question: Which FAI version are you using? > first reboot of the newly installed host, I get an ugly kernel panic: > <snip> > [...] > EXT4-fs (vda2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) > Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ... done. > Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done. OK, you are using initramfs-tools and not dracut. But that's fine for Ubuntu. > But if I switch to the 14.04 base.tgz image, using the otherwise the > same config [1] and the same disk layout [3] (using LVM), the kernel > chickens out. For installing Ubuntu 14.04, you are using the Ubuntu 12.04 nfsroot? Is that right? Please try to do an Ubuntu 14.04 installation without lvm, but just a plain simple disk layout. That way, you can make sure if lvm or something different causes the problem. BTW, we can also switch to #fai on irc for faster help. -- regards Thomas
