Ok, no one showed up in time, invested further time on my own... Sadly this is a very annoying situation for us: The reworked live-initramfs layout of live-boot/live-config (which is the stuff present in squeeze) breaks assumptions for FAI. As FAI provides its own /etc/init.d/rcS and doesn't go through normal runlevels specifying live-config=hostname doesn't help and the (dropped) NOHOSTS="Yes" isn't considered at all. Reworking FAI to support old live-initramfs as well as newer versions requires more effort and unless I can come up with a solution those days I'll provide 3.4.4 without any changes WRT hostname<->HOSTNAME handling ASAP. I'm considering the suggestions by michael log for inclusion into 3.4.4, would be great if anyone else could take a closer look at it as well. regards, -mika-
