Try this on the install client during the installation:

rsh -l fai <install server>

Does this work without giving a password? It should work (unless your
want to use ssh instead of rsh), otherwise the root account from the
install client can't log into the install server to call fai-chboot.

Also check if the account fai on the install server has write
permissions in the directory /boot/fai/pxelinux.cfg.

on the command line.
