Hi, In FAI 2.8.4 that comes with Sarge, /usr/share/doc/fai/examples/simple/class/20-hwdetect.source defines $kernelmodules as follows: first, it's initialized with a bunch of modules including ide-disk, and then for 2.4 kernels, ide-detect is added AFTER ide-disk.
What I've observed is that with this setup trying to install using 2.4.30 (for both -fai and the target install), ide-disk does NOT load because ide-detect has not yet loaded, so setup_harddisks cannot find the IDE hard drive to install on. If ide-disk is loaded after ide-detect things work fine, though. The quick-and-dirty fix involves editing line 24 to add ide-detect before ide-disk. I don't know how good a fix this is. Just FYI. I hope something can be done for the benefit of everyone who has to start from the examples and may run into trouble with it.
