Hi,
Have any of you guys generated a Redhat 7.2 image in FAI and used it in
openstack? I encountered an issue in the initramfs. When I use an
initramfs from an existing Redhat installation, the image boots up.
Thank you!
Thomas,
It seems like http://ppa.launchpad.net/fai/ubuntu isn't being updated anymore?
The latest version available for 16.04 is still 5.3.2-0~6669~ubuntu16.04.1.

Hey Thomas,
Thank you for the response. The dirinstall option sounds promising, but I
can't seem to get it to work. I'm on a VM which I've configured by
following the instructions in the "Setup your faiserver" section of the FAI
Guide:
https://fai-project.org/fai-guide/#_a_id_setup_a_setup_yo
The new FAI version 5.5 supports a very nice feature in fcopy. Using -S,
fcopy itself can do variable substitution, which may replace your
preinst scripts. Until now preinst scripts for fcopy were used for
doing variable substitution. We also got rid of the need to have
aptitude installed.

He have xenial FAI servers, but we had to use a stretch nfsroot.
The problem is centred around dractut, which can't be used on xenial
properly , due to a hard coding of the "update-initramfs" command in the
kernel packages postinst script.

On IRC we had the question, if FAI can be installed on Ubuntu. Does
anyone has a FAI server running on Ubuntu Xenial? I remember that
there were major problems creating the nfsroot on a Ubuntu system,
because of dracut and upstart in the past. But I'm not sure if these
problems still apply or not.
