Hi Sebastian,

 As thoses kernels are for i386, the package should be named
 fai-kernels-i386 or something like that.

 As this package as no link with the host architecture computer,
 it should be in the 'all' arch.

 Workaround: dpkg -i --force-architecture fai-kernels_1.9.1_i386.deb

You dont gain anything by this workaround as these kernels need to be 
installed in a fai nfsroot which has to be created on the target architecture 
(i386 here) anyway, as make-fai-nfsroot calls debootstrap which in turn 
executes all the packages postinst scripts, which will lead to the execution 
of binaries. There is no cross-debootstrap.

Therefore I will close this bug report. You might look up #101598 which is a 
similar wishlist bug, which has been closed.


regards,
Holger
