Richt description found in http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20051208.164812.d580c310.en.html fits my symptoms here - didn't find it before when searching because the word "warning" from the error message is nowhere in the mail :) In my case, the important difference between the machines is that one uses a stock debian kernel for amd instead of the standard intel one. The amd machine doesn't have the problem. And yes, FAI 2.9 defines v3 in the file in /boot/fai/pxelinux.cfg/C0A80084 for the host in question - after changing it to v2 it seems to work. Where's the best place to change that? Do I always need to do that manually after each fai-chboot run? (which I use often when doing testing and devlopment work) Henning
