I had forgotten to add Thomas sources.list entry for debian etch in the file /etc/fai/apt/sources.list on my dapper server which was already running the etch 3.1.2 versions because I had added Thomas' sources list entry.

It contains the answer :-) Copied from your first mail in this thread: FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://192.168.1.1/srv/fai/config However, fai.log reads as follows (quoting it completely as it is fairly short) === - Fully Automatic Installation for Debian GNU/Linux FAI 2.10.1ubuntu1, 17 May 2006Copyright (c) 1999-2006 Thomas Lange <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Calling task_confdir Kernel parameters: ip=dhcp FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://192.168.1.1/srv/fai/config FAI_ACTION=sysinfo root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/srv/fai/nfsroot,v3,tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt BOOT_IMAGE=fai/vmlinuz-install Reading /var/log/fai/current/boot.log Warning /etc/init.d/rcS: Neither $FAI_LOCATION nor $FAI_CVSROOT are defined.

Calling task_setup FAI_FLAGS: verbose sshd createvt Press ctrl-c to interrupt FAI and to get a shell Calling task_defclass Directory /var/lib/fai/config/class not found. Following subdirectories are found: find: warning: you have specified the -maxdepth option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional (-maxdepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it). Please specify options before other arguments. /var/lib/fai/config cp: cannot stat `/var/log/fai/current/disk_var.sh': No such file or directory Aborting. === So, there are these warnings :-)) And: There is the version number: 2.10.1ubuntu1, which is strictly less than 3 :-) So - there is no such thing as FAI_CONFIG_SRC in this version; you need to upgrade your nfsroot first...
