Most likely, the name you're trying to give the host is not resolving to
the ip address.  Make sure you're providing a fixed address to your DHCP
client and that address is either resolved in the server /etc/hosts (and
thusly, /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/etc/hosts file), or in the local DNS.

A couple of suggestions:

  * Verify your DHCP/BOOTP server has the correct parameters.
  * Remember to include verbose, debug, and createvt in the FAI options.
  * Log files are your friends!  Look in /tmp for all of the appropriate
    log files.
    -- Use your logfiles liberally, browsing them via virtual terminal
    -- ssh the files to the server manually if the auto-scp isn't
       working
  * Verify that your local network has valid DNS or /etc/files records.
