Hi John, from FAI 3.2 we are using a stock Debian kernel with initrd, so I think you are still using an older FAI version. The README in the fai-kernels packages describes which options you have to set to build a kernel for FAI. But with FAI 3.2 and newer you can just use a plain kernel. This needs the unionfs module, which is broken for some kernel versions. But you may want to test aufs (another union file system). Add union=aufs to the kernel command line and check that this module available inside the nfsroot. But I did not test it myself yet. -- regards Thomas
Kernel config magic?
Is there a way to take a stock kernel config and turn it into a FAI boot kernel config? I just cannot get my FAI boot kernel to recognize the sata drive in a machine. Who knows what box I have to check in the kernel config? But I know a ubuntu kernel recognizes the drive. Can I start with a ubuntu kernel config and make a FAI boot kernel?

Basically a Ubuntu kernel should be fine. There may be, however, some issues with unionfs or other unexpected bugs breaking such a setup. I don't use Ubuntu myself, but if you could post the FAI version you are using and the Ubuntu release, respectively the kernel version, there will surely be someone on the list to give you further information.
