Hi Michael!
Here you are ...
Using configuration files from /etc/fai
Creating FAI nfsroot in /srv/fai/nfsroot.
By default it needs more than 250 MBytes disk space.
This may take a long time.
/srv/fai/nfsroot already exists. Removing /srv/fai/nfsroot
Creating base system using debootstrap version 0.3.3.3

Actually, debug=1 does not seem to provide too much extra output.
I spent several hours trying to find the problem myself last night,
hacking the make-fai-nfsroot script for extra debugging output. (The
output above comes from an unmodified version.)
What I completely fail to understand is:
1. If I execute debootstrap manually using exactly the same command line
(cut&paste) as the script, it works without any complaint. So what is
different when I call the debootstrap from make-fai-nfsroot????
2. I tried to uncomment the only line I found which calls dpkg-divert,
which is:
fdivert /sbin/start-stop-daemon /sbin/discover-modprobe
in upgrade_nfsroot.
It still comes back with the same error message.
Next I put an extra echo after that call to debootstrap. I found that
obviously it's debootstrap itself which is trying to call dpkg-divert.
Where would that diversions file come from?
Regards,
Torsten

Dear list!
I knew I had this problem when I created my first FAI server.
Unfortunately, I forgot what I did to fix it.
So this is FAI 3.1.8 on Etch on AMD64. I have installed fai-quickstart and
tried to run fai-setup. The make-fai-nfsroot fails with:

Yes, I am using the official Debian mirror and I did not change anything
from the default configuration.
Could you provide a little more info by pasting the output of
debug=1 make-fai-nfsroot -v
Thanks,
Michael
