Below is merely some 'interesting' information:

we have a fai server running sarge and fai 3.2.8. It is being used and is exporting a Etch 32 nfsroot. We have support for installations of Etch 32 and 64 bit, and Lenny 32 and 64bit.

Previously, on occasion the FAI installations of Lenny 64bit with FAI would stop after the last package was downloaded! Then aptitude would just wait, and wait. And nothing would happen. We are ofcourse using a LENNY 64 bit base image for that. And last week it stopped functioning totally.

I set up a new FAI server (3.3.2+experimental4) and tried the installation (by default it took are lenny 64bit image) and it showed the strange problem.

However when I removed our own base image and used the default base.tgz it worked.

If I put base.tgz onto the old server and use that one, my installations work too.

So there must be an issue somewhere, but I don't know how.

Anyway, I have my old FAI server working again, and have a new one too. Now it is time to migrate...
