<tt>And how does make-nfsroot determine wether to install 64 bit
nfsroot??<br>
I've been following these guides :<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/FAI_Cross-architecture">http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/FAI_Cross-architecture</a><br>

<br>
all to no avail, Im still getting a 32bits nfsroot.<br>
<br>
How does fai go trough the /etc/fai-amd64/nfsroot file? It seems it
just reads the first bit, the I386 part..<br>
<br>
<br>
my current config looks the following. I try to create a nfsroot with
"export APT_CONFIG=/etc/fai-amd64/apt_arch.conf; fai-setup -C
/etc/fai-amd64 -v"<br>
<br>
-- /etc/fai-amd64/apt_amd64.conf:<br>
APT {<br>
Architecture "amd64";<br>
}<br>
<br>
</tt><tt>-- /etc/fai-amd64/</tt><tt>make-fai-nfsroot.conf :<br>
NFSROOT=/srv/fai/nfsroot-amd64<br>

<pre wrap="">If you want to install a 64bit system on your client, you must boot a
64bit kernel and use a 64bit nfsroot during the installation. Have a
look at your fai.log if this is correct in your environment.

<pre wrap=""><!---->
64bit nfsroot can install 64 and 32 bit clients
32bit nfsroot can only install 32bit clients
I'm using 32bit nfsroots only as a fallback on old hardware and on 32bit
VMware clients. (Paravirtualization can not be enabled while trying to run
using a 64bit nfsroot/kernel. Either disable PV during install or boot
32bit.)

P.S.: At least with VMware ESX 3.5 / ESX 3.5i.
