There must be something wrong with your /etc/kernel-img.conf, which is copied by
the hook instsoft.FAIBASE (so you must have the class FAIBASE defined for this
to work).  Either you are missing it entirely, or it doesn't have "do_initrd =
yes". Well, then there is the question of which FAI version your configuration
is based upon, because we didn't have the kernel-img.conf stuff in versions
before 2.10 I think (which is like ages ago :-) ).
Just as a data point - I started out with FAI 3.2.4 on debian/etch and based my installation scripts on the provided config space. Currently the nfsroots are based on Debian Lenny (32bit and 64bit version) and install Debian Etch and Lenny (+ Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and SLES10 SP1) without problems. (32 and 64bit archs of all distributions from the same config space.) The scripts are heavily customized by now of course,
so that's why I said it's just a data point.

Maybe you could upload a zip of your config space and we can have a look at it?


Btw. is anybody interested in how i pulled this of? If yes, then I would try to "clean up" our config space and provide it to the public. (It currently contains some sensitive data, which I don't want outsider to see.) Additionally there's some stuff that isn't coded very well and really should be redone in a better way. >.<;; The previously mentioned debootstrap issues is one of these. Well. "Works for me." For now...

Next milestone would be to install all distrib/archs from a 64bit nfsroot and keep the 32bit one just for
compatibility reasons (hardware too old).
