Hi Steffen,

I am using the 2.4.27 kernel that comes with the latest fai-kernels 
package. However I've just remembered that there is also a 2.6 kernel in 
that package so I decided to try that. This time everything works perfectly!
So, I think there is a problem that the 2.4.27 kernel in fai-kernels 
doesn't support ext2 or ext3 and the default demo scripts are creating 
an ext3 filesystem. That is, unless I have done something wrong!
I will carry on with the 2.6.8 kernel so my problem right now is solved.

Thanks,
Ben
