In your script the echo command only defined the class SKY, but not

Hi FAI'ers,
Once again I'm having hopefully what is a simple problem causing all my
machines to build incorrectly.
My classes aren't getting defined for certain machines and I can't figure
out why.

Hi all,
I've recently stumbled upon a problem due to a combination of our
imaging software, hardware, and FAI.
I've solved this problem with some hacking of

but it works:

definately, in class/06hwdetect.source my kernelmodules look like this:

I think it's the ata_piix which makes the sata hdd's work.

YPDOMAIN and YPSERVERS are set by the DHCP or BOOT daemons. Have a
look a boot.log and RTFM.
Thanks for your help Thomas,
Now I have YPDOMAIN being set by DHCP and boot.log says

In /etc/fai/fai.conf i've set YPDOMAIN=linux.cs.uow.edu.au, however
during installation /etc/defaultdomain is set to cs.uow.edu.au, with the
'linux' bit dropped. Is this right?
I've got a custom script fixing it up manually so it's
in /usr/share/fai/subroutines there is a bash-function called
"task_install" which calls the tasks. You can use this as a list.
