No, it dies at the very beginning when exec'ing the kernel. Not a single sign of life from the kernel at all. I have just tried to change some kernel configuration details (processor type, smp support) and recompiled and tried, but it's still the same. If you want to have a look at the old-fai-cd-sysinfo-log from kernel 2.6.8, here it is: http://taz.de/~fd/stuff/fai.log Just tried the fai-3.0-cd with linux-2.6.17, it works. Tried that kernel via netboot - it does not work! So I think it has to do rather with pxelinux than with the kernel. It is from recent syslinux version 1:3.31-4. The pxelinux.cfg entry is label fai-generated kernel vmlinuz-install append ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot,v3,tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt Maybe I need to upgrade the PXE-BIOS? Is this becoming off-topic? Regards, Frank.
