Hi Olaf,

did you check the output of the installation log? Look into software.log 
probably you miss the package "lilo" in your class definition. Did you 
check your class definition with "fai-class"?

To find out the reason, one would have to take a look at the installation 
logs. They should tell you what is missing.

regards,

Oliver
