My fai server is running debian etch amd64 . I am booting i386 clients. I do this because VirtualBox doesn't support 64 bit guests yet, but that is not today's' problem.
I have this in my make-nfs-root config file: # - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - # following lines should be read only for most of you FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--arch i386 --exclude=dhcp-client,info" here is the pxe boot conf file that gets generated by fai-chroot: ##################################################################### default fai-generated label fai-generated localboot 0 # generated by fai-chboot for host sata-test with IP 10.0.0.225 default fai-generated label fai-generated kernel vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-486 append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.18-6-486 ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/srv/fai/nfsroot boot=live FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt FAI_ACTION=install ####################################################################### I would like to boot 2.6.18-6-686 by default. How do I do that, besides hand editing the file? also I don't see the proper initrd and boot image in /srv/tftp/ for pxe booting anyway, how would i get the proper one for 2.6.18-6-686 in to there? thanks.
