Just a comment:
Today I wanted to install a new host (the first since one or two months),
however I ended up with the same dracut error...
It seems that now "nfs" is needed at the begin of the NFSROOT entry in
nfsroot.conf, to get dracut to recognize the fai-server
NFSROOT=*nfs:*phkup26:/srv/fai/nfsroot (instead of
NFSROOT=phkup26:/srv/fai/nfsroot )
After this small change it works again without problems, but I wonder now:
Was there a change in fai-chboot? (Did former versions eventually add
the "nfs:" automatically to the nfsroot when creating the tftp-file?)
Or maybe was there a change in nfs or dracut?
Regards
René

Ok I solved the problem.
It was not the Network, FAI did not know where the NFS server is.
I have made the following changes so that FAI works:
- in PXE config file root=nfs:fai-server:/srv/fai/nfsroot (default is
root=/srv/fai/nfsroot)
- /srv/fai/nfsroot/etc/fai/fai.conf was not copied from /etc/fai/fai.conf and I
configured it with the path to the config space
Now everything works:)

Meanwhile I have updated - FAI 4.1.1 kernel /linux-image-3.13-0.bpo.1-amd64 I
have deleted nfsroot and I have started fai-setup again.
Now there is no problem with NFS... but something with network
configuration/dhcp is not working.
Starting dhcp for interface eth0
dhcp: PREINIT eth0 up
dhcp: BOND setting eth0
No carrier detected <<<< no LINK????
FS-Cache: loaded
FS-Cache: Netfs 'nfs' registered for caching Key typ dns_resolver registered
NFS: Registering the the id_resolver key tape Key type id_resolver registered
Key type id_legacy registered
Random: nonblocking pool is initialized
And nothing happens ....
There is link - earlier message:
e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow control None
