Check the list for an earlier message of mine. I've run into the same problem.

If no error occurs, then fai _will_ reboot the system. You can tell fai to halt 
instead, but you can't simply make it stop and do nothing. Reboot or Halt.

Solution:
a) provoke an error somewhere during execution
b) use my attached patch to force a non-reboot

Thanks,

I thought I remembered seeing something similar in the past, but couldn't find it at the time. I should have mentioned earlier that after reading the code I was starting to use option (a) above (there's almost always something that complains during a real install, but I guess not during sysinfo), but I think I'll use your hook instead.

Thanks,
Brian

That hook actually never gets called when using FAI_ACTION=sysinfo since task_action()'s sysinfo case calls task_faiend() rather than "task faiend" (call_hook is done in task(), not task_faiend()). So, I guess it's back to figuring out how to induce a non-fatal error ...
