A new version because of an update, or was it missing? You need the package name of the firmware added to /etc/fai/NFSROOT, then rebuild the nfsroot. Then you have the new initrd, which must be copied to /srv/tftp/fai/ (should be done automatically), then do a network boot with the new initrd. -- regards Thomas

Dracut : Could not boot
Hello everyone, I need some help in my problem. Last friday, I receive a new laptop to install by FAI (Dell Precision 5570) , and when I boot by PXE with FAI, I have a message lie this: "dracut: Warning: could not boot" I search the solutions these two days but no results. The problem I can't understand is that no computer has ever done this to me before. If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful. Kind regards Bruno Pinto --- Bruno FERREIRA PINTO Service Informatique IJCLab IN2P3/CNRS Universite Paris-Sud 11 Rue André Ampere Bt 100A Pce A118 91898 Orsay Cédex ---
