So it will not work if you just install the kernel into the nfsroot. Well, I got it to work but I don't know why. It seems to be some kind of wierdness in debootstrap. From my make-fai-nfsroot.config file: # Of course, the original line works: #FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS=--exclude=dhcp-client,info # # And this works: FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS=--arch i386 # # But when you combine them, it does not work: #FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS=--arch=i386 --exclude=dhcp-client,info I modified make-fai-nfsroot to show the debootstrap command as it's really run, complete with options. Then I cut and pasted it into a terminal window so I was running it exactly as make-fai-nfsroot was running it. # debootstrap --arch=i386 --exclude=dhcp-client,info etch /usr/share/fai/nfsroot http://ftp.debian.org/debian E: No such script: http://ftp.debian.org/debian Huh? The debootstrap command works withthe --arch arguement or with the --exclude argument but not with both. So as far as i can tell, this is not a problem with fai but with debootstrap. Well, I am running sarge on a AMD64 machine and trying to create a root with etch

I am running etch on AMD64 and trying to create an etch i386 nfsroot. No sarge.
Re: mixing architectures with debootstrap
Hello This works on my System: FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS=--arch i386 --exclude=dhcp-client,info --arch and the architecture must be seperated with a space.
