Ok, I think I've found the reason for your problems: postgresql.postinst uses start-stop-daemon to run the script that runs initdb. But start-stop-daemon is a diverted by fai throughout the installation to keep daemons from starting. I think (Thomas, is this correct?), FAI 3 will use policies instead of diverting start-stop-deamon; on the other hand, the postgresql version in testing/unstable uses a completely new infrastructure in postinst, thus it might work with FAI 2.10.5 as well. If you have to use the version from sarge, you will need to run the initdb commands from a script at the end of the FAI installation. HTH, Michael
