Could you explain what these pieces are? I did not yet do that with jaunty, but with multiple earlier Ubuntu versions, I just did and always do most of the things as described here, and it works, even for RHEL and others, without modifying the nfsroot contents: http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/FAI_multi-distribution > Change the /etc/apt/sources.list in the nfsroot to point to the jaunty > sources. Yeah, there is some misplaced code in FAI that copies this file again from the nfsroot into the target, and it's not placed in the configspace but hardcoded in a task code. But you can circumvent this by copying it over again in a hook - see example code mentioned in the wiki. > OPTIONAL: the lenny kernel would not boot our new hardware, so I had to > compile a jaunty kernel.
