Hi all. I'm having trouble getting my networking set up correctly.
 I've used FAI before, but I'm not an expert, and this is my first try
 with ubuntu (hardy). 

 I'm using fai-cd (to a usb drive) with this in menu.lst:

title Fully Automatic Installation - BOOTP
kernel /boot/vmlinuz boot=live FAI_FLAGS="verbose,createvt,sshd"
FAI_ACTION=install ip=:130.58.68.7:130.58.68.1:255.255.255.0::eth0:bootp
initrd /boot/initrd.img

 The install mostly works, but IPADDR and HOSTNAME don't get set. 
 If I change that ip= line to

ip=130.58.68.37:130.58.68.7:130.58.68.1:255.255.255.0:horseradish:eth0:bootp

 then the IPADDR is ok, but HOSTNAME still equals "host" (and I don't
 really want to specify the ip address -- that's what bootp is for,
 right?).

 Any ideas? This is also my first time using fai-cd.

 Install server = Ubuntu 8.04 with fai-server 3.2.4+svn4837, and also
 trying to install ubuntu hardy. I've put the log files here:
 http://web.cs.swarthmore.edu/failogs

 Bootp seems to respond correctly to bootptest, but during the install I
 see no bootp log messages on the server and nothing using tcpdump.
