make-fai-nfsroot problem

[Andrew Monteiro]

Has anyone experienced a problem with the make-fai-nfsroot process like this?

When I issue the command make-fai-nfsroot it appears to start building the nfsroot tree then dies. See below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creating FAI nfsroot can take a long time and will
need more than 160MB disk space in /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot.
/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot already exists. Removing /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot
Creating nfsroot for woody using debootstrap

chroot: cannot execute apt-get: No such file or directory
chroot: cannot execute dpkg-divert: No such file or directory
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other details:
FAI version 2.5.2
Local mirror from which I have built several systems.
Minimal install of Debian stable with security updates (bf2.4 install) and just the required packages for fai as listed in the doco.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew.
