Hi Robert, list,
I have encountered the exact same problem with 3.2.4+svn4837. I too
thought I made progress by creating the '/usr/bin/udevinfo' directory,
and then encountered the '/var/lib/fai/config does not exist' error upon
booting the clients (doesn't seem to matter if I chboot to 'install' or
'sysinfo'). Worse, a simple `ls /var/lib/fai/config` at the resulting
shell shows that the directory _does_ exist.
My sense is that another result of the 'usr/bin/udevinfo' problem is
that the nfsroot doesn't get fully configured, but I have only a few
days' experience with FAI.
I noticed that make-fai-nfsroot on Ubuntu has a '-U' option specifically
to do with update-initramfs on Ubuntu (the above error wrt
/usr/bin/udevinfo occurs when trying to create the initramfs), so I
tried passing that to fai-setup, but I get a lot of aptitude errors.
I've attached my fai-setup.log (UPDATE: no I haven't, it's too big for
the listserv. You can see it here:
http://sparrow.ece.cmu.edu/~jmmccune/fai-setup.log).
I also value any information about experiences with Jaunty. I would
really like to get this thing going today.
Thanks!

Hello list,
has anyone got FAI to install Ubuntu Jaunty Clients?
I'm having an Ubuntu 9.04 Server and want to install 9.04 Clients using
FAI (both the shipped 3.2.4+svn4837 version as well as the latest 3.2.20
from the FAI repository), and both versions fail to install initrd.
With 3.2.4 I could solve it by chrooting into the nfsroot and creating
the directory "/usr/bin/udevinfo", but the install would hang when FAI
is about to mount the config directory (the error message reads
"mount.nfs: mount point /var/lib/fai/config does not exist").
With 3.2.20 I can't get the initrd problem to solve, thus being stuck at
the early beginning.
Any experiences with Jaunty - both good and bad - are very appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert
