The following problem came up yesterday:

After fetching the packages, another apt-process is started by the first one, 
having 99% CPU-Usage and stopping the system at
 
Preconfiguring packages ..
Fetched 154MB in 2m25s (1063kB/s)

Using kernel 2.4.24 everything works fine. Killing either of the processes 
kills both (even when killing the child-process)! 

By the way: I'm using fai 2.5.3 !

Actually, you may as well simply use -t tmpfs instead of -t shm, as this also 
works on 2.4.x-systems.

Thanks in advance,
