Hi Michael,

mount --bind /proc /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/proc
chroot /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir
update-initramfs -c -k all
I tried this but nothing happened, still no initrd and no error messages occured.
The initramfs-tools and linux-image-686 is also marked as installed.

I wonder what this is trying to do:
> df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or
> directory

it would be helpful if you could isolate this df call and run strace on it to see which file it is trying to access.
Next thing I tried was to build a new debootstrap and installed the linux-image-686 manually.
There are the same errors from "df ..." but the initrd was installed.
Then I just copied this initrd into the fai generated nfsroot and called update-initramfs -u -t and then everything worked.

But running fai-setup -U -v is still not possible. If somebody can give me some advice where to start with tracing this error would be very kind or is it possibly an debian internal problem?

Regards
Ralph
