On to the task of installing Ubuntu 10.04 (instead of Debian Lenny) on the target host.
I've once again used the vanilla PPA packages (3.3.5ubuntu3) without any modifications except the following: # First, I've edited the /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf to set the following option: <snip> FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="lucid http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"; </snip> # Then I've edited /etc/fai/apt/sources.list to look like this: <snip> deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid multiverse deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid multiverse deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates multiverse deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fai/ppa/ubuntu lucid main </snip> This works "basically" (in the sense that FAI does it's job) and the host gets installed. However, I'm currently stuck with the host booting straight into Memtest86+. Upon looking through the fai-setup.log [1], I'm a bit worried by the line: <snip> ls: cannot access /boot/vmlinu*: No such file or directory </snip> On the target host the error.log[2] doesn't look any brighter: <snip> fai.log:Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "linux-image-486" shell.log:ERROR: No kernel was installed. Have a look at shell.log </snip> The full fai.log is at [3]. I'm sure it's just some small config error I've overseen with my tired eyes. Maybe someone has an idea what could be the reason that obviously no kernel gets installed? I'm going to bed now.
