Restart with "rpcbind -w" rpcbind: cannot open file = /run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr for writing The nfsroot is mounted ro, but we use aufs for having write acces to the nfsroot. MAke sure your kernel cmdline includes the option aufs. My kernel cmdline looks like this: rw aufs ip=dhcp root=1.2.3.4:/srv/fai/nfsroot FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://faiserver/srv/fai/cconfig FAI_ACTION=install vga=794 -- regards Thomas
