Michael,
I do have a FAI version which is a bit older than 3.2. Not sure about
the exact version, but I don't have /etc/fai/NFSROOT.

I picked that up somewhere, but it does not seem to work as desired.
This is what I have in my package_config/MYCLASS file:
--- SNIP ---
PACKAGES aptitude
# VServer enabled kernel
#linux-image-2.6.18-5-vserver-amd64
linux-image-2.6.18-5-vserver-686
linux-image-2.6-486-
--- SNIP ---
Here is what I get on the installed client:
# dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image
linux-image-2.6-486 install
linux-image-2.6.18-5-486 install
linux-image-2.6.18-5-vserver-686 install
linux-image-486 install
As you can see, it picked up and installed the
linux-image-2.6.18-5-vserver-686
but it also installed
linux-image-2.6-486 and linux-image-486
and used that as the default kernel.
I seems to ignore the line
linux-image-2.6-486-
Regards,
Torsten

How is the default kernel choosen anyway?
That depends on your FAI version. Assuming you are using something greater than
3.2, /etc/fai/NFSROOT has a list of packages that will be installed into your
nfsroot and then get installed on the client as well.
One possibility is thus to edit /etc/fai/NFSROOT, but alternatively you could
also add the following to your package_config/<CLASS> file:
# the new kernel
linux-image-<2.6-whatever-i-like>
# remove the old one, mind the "-" at the end
linux-image-2.6-486-
Best,
Michael
