Well, it is against unemployment... :-)

It is hard to say without the complete message. What is import is just in
the '...' you've deleted.

As said by the message, the host name of the server is not found (exactly)
in the /root/.ssh/known_hosts. Is it really at the beginning of a line of
this file ? It could be a different name because you are using a different
interface and IP adress for the server, or that it is now the FQDN instead of the
short name or the opposite, or...

Anyway, just adding the expected lacking line in
/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/root/.ssh/known_hosts should do the trick.
