Hello,

this post is more a braindump to get my head clear than a real question, but
if you have any suggestions you are more than welcome.

Ok, this is the starting point: HP Bladecenter BL c-Class with BL460c G1 blades. So far so good. We have a new FAI setup with version 3.2.4. The FAI
server is a seperate maschine.

We have a very similar setup, although we're using FAI 3.1.8, not 3.2.4


PXE booting work fine, but when the blade should mount the nfsroot it simply
hangs. I tried several stock Debian kernels.

Hmm - I don't think we had any such problems as that. We have about 250 BL460c blades successfully FAI-installed.

- Is there a way to get more verbose output from the kernel what he is
 trying to mount?

I take it the messages you're reporting are what you're seeing on the console via the OA?


- Are there other ways to debug the problem?


tcpdump on the NFS server, to see if you see the mount request at all?
