Any selections from dpkg output? I'm not sure which infos I need. Maybe the pathes for grub. I also need to know if some grub commands in fai-cd need to be called with different parameters. What about --format=x86_64-efi? Do we need to add some grub modules for --install-modules=...? What about the xorriso call? There are also intel arch specific options. I also have a small arm64 device here (Hikey960), currently updating it to bullseye and try to install the fai packages on it. > I the meantime: what would I see if I properly assign a nfsroot but > "forget" to set the $FAI_* variables? Typing long command lines into grub > is so failure-prone... Have a look at your pxelinux.cfg. There you see the parameters. These are important ro rootovl ip=dhcp root=1.2.3.4:/srv/fai/nfsroot,nfsvers=3 Others like FAI_CONFIG_SRC may be hardcoded inside the nfsroot in /etc/fai/fai.conf. Not really sure if this still works. -- regards Thomas
