Thanks Oliver.

I did check and there was still plenty of space on the root filesystem (20GB). The error was from shell.log because I used one of the postinstall scripts to install the kernel.

Hi,

check software.log for errors. I'd bet it's a kind of "disk full" error
with is not logged into fai.log but software.log.

Hi,

Does anyone have a problem installing kernel 2.6.18.3 in etch?

I'm trying to install the kernel from one of the postinstall scripts and 
it always fails with this error:

...
Selecting previously deselected package initramfs-tools.
Unpacking initramfs-tools (from .../initramfs-tools_0.85e_all.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package linux-image-2.6.18-3-686.
Unpacking linux-image-2.6.18-3-686 (from 
.../linux-image-2.6.18-3-686_2.6.18-7_i386.deb) ...
Ok, Aborting
dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.18-3-686_2.6.18-7_i386.deb 
(--unpack):
subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
...

I could be able to upgrade the install server to this kernel version 
from the same repository. Is there something to do with the chroot 
environment?

Thanks for your help,
Binh
