Hello, I could progress a bit with my problem. I simply tried a lot of things: root=/dev/ram0, root=/dev/cdrom, root=/dev/scd1 and finally root=/dev/nfs works in the kernel line in the menu.lst. I also removed the whole ip=... part in the kernel line.
Looks like /dev/nfs is the place to find the nfsroot on the cd. But I'm now getting a kernel-panic: Begin: Mounting root file system... ... Begin: Running /scripts/nfs-top ... Done. [ 15.884497] RPC: Registered udp transport module. [ 15.885198] RPC: Registered tcp transport module. [ 15.950168] NET: Registered protocol family 17 ipconfig: eth0: SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device ipconfig: no devices to configure /init: .: 1: Can't open /tmp/net-eth0.conf [ 16.006805] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! I don't know what's the cause of this problem. I have no nfs-top script in my fai-scripts directory created. Googling around for this error bring me to this bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/181258 , which looks like an ubuntu initramfs problem? Or is this related to FAI? greetings Sebastian
