Installing a different kernel from server

I am trying to install Woody with FAI. My DHCP and FAI servers are
different machines but I succeded in configuring dhcp server to deal with
it. My problem is make-fai-nfsroot. My fai-server is running 2.4.9 but I
am trying to install 2.2.19-DHCP1. During make-fai-nfs-root -v I get:

	depmod: Can't open /lib/modules/2.4.9/modules.dep for writing

even if fai.conf has
KERNELPACKAGE=/usr/lib/fai/kernel/kernel-image-2.2.19_DHCP1_i386.deb
KERNELVERSION=2.2.19

My client mounts fine the mirror directory and also the nfsroot. However I
got a lot of messages that cannot find net-pf-1. I have no log files on
/home/fai (only .ssh).
