here is a list of problems/annoyances during installation of Debian Squeeze
with fai 3.4.2:
1. Use uppercase hostname/ip parameters in boot command line.
Change to uppercase in "/srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.cfg/*" or "/etc/fai/grub.cfg"
> APPEND boot=live FAI_FLAGS="verbose,createvt" FAI_ACTION=install IP=192.168.148.100:::::eth0:off HOSTNAME=gnomehost
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.148.11:/srv/fai/nfsroot
2. ftp-logserver does not default to install server.
Need to set Logserver explicitly in file /etc/fai/fai.conf.
> # Name of log-server. If undefined, the install server will be used.
> LOGSERVER=faiserver
3. ssh-command for fai-chboot (Calling task_chboot) requires user input.

Solution is to append the line "StrictHostKeyChecking no" to
/etc/ssh/ssh_config (for nfsroot).
4. Some packages missing in squeeze
> fai.log:No candidate version found for iceweasel-gnome-support
> fai.log:No candidate version found for icedove-gnome-support
> fai.log:No candidate version found for gnome-apt
These packages are not available for debian squeeze.
5. Error when running fai-setup
> df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or
directory

No /etc/mtab inside nfsroot.
Solution is to add a softlink: "ln -sf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab"
6. Error when running fai-setup
> Creating config file /etc/default/grub with new version
> grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).

No idea on this errors. Can't detect any problems caused by this.
7. Error messages on modules.dep missing (but file exists!)
> fai.log:FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-486/modules.dep: No such
file or directory
> fai.log:FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-486/modules.dep: No such
file or directory
> fai.log:FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-486/modules.dep: No such
file or directory
Reason was 5.
8. Final reboot (task_faiend) produces some messages (Messages only visible for
a moment).
Messages like: "Unmounting ...", "Failed to unmount ...", "Remount read
only".
But everything works find after it.
