After 10 years away from FAI, I am happily back on using it. :-) I have an issue with fai-make-nfsroot around lines 492--508 :

Enable DHCP and start the TFTP daemon on root $TFTPROOT." It is not clear to me why pxelinux.0 is fetched from $NFSROOT instead of the local file system? The case of pxelinux.0 seems to be the same for example as ldlinux.c32 which comes from the local file system in the code sample above. Rationale : - there would be no need to install pxelinux in each NFSROOT; - it is more related to the server than the client using NFSROOT. - this makes the example from http://wiki.fai-project.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_Linux_with_FAI to fail because there is no pxelinux package installed on the NFSROOT according to the given content of /etc/fai/NFSROOT If that makes sense, I can send a pull request to have this code instead: if [ -f /usr/lib/PXELINUX/pxelinux.0 ]; then pxebin=/usr/lib/PXELINUX/pxelinux.0 else pxebin=/usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 fi Thank you, -- Ronan KERYELL.
