Hi Steffen,

if I got it correctly, you want to do a FAI installation on this
Cavium ThunderX based Gigabyte R120-T35.

First I would try the FAI CD for arm which is available from
https://fai-project.org/fai-cd/fai-small_6.2.5-arm64.iso
It includes a much newer kernel, but hey an easy way to just give it a
try.

Then I can offer an ARM64 nfsroot at
https://fai-project.org/download/misc/
Maybe you can install an old 4.19 kernel into this nfsroot and then
try to recreate the initrd using dpkg-reconfigure dracut.
