Let me ask you if you take this into account in your sources.list file as
well ? How does your sources.list look like ? 
In my setup several things go wrong. I tried to install the clients without
a local mirror. Then in updatebase.log it claims that it cannot connect to
any debian mirrors. During fai-setup I get hostname: Unknown host at the
end, I do not know if this is of significance. I tried to use the logging on
the server with LOGUSER=fai but connection is refused during client
installation. I finally installed the clients with the fai-cd from the
fai-homepage which works fine. If I login from the client to the server I
have to use IP address instead of the servers name. This is my dhcpd.conf
and /etc/hosts:

subnet 192.168.42.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   range 192.168.42.4 192.168.42.250;
   option routers 192.168.42.250;
   option domain-name "beowulf";
   option domain-name-servers 192.168.42.250;
   option time-servers atom00;
   option ntp-servers atom00;
#   option nis-domain "beowulf";
#   option nis-servers faiserver;
   server-name "atom00";
   option root-path
"/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,acregmin=1800,acregmax=1800,acdirmin=1800,acdirmax=1800";
}

# perl -ane ' {print "host atom {hardware ethernet $1;fixed-address
atom}";}'
host atom01 {hardware ethernet 00:50:70:74:41:09;fixed-address atom01;}
host atom02 {hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:10;fixed-address atom02;}
host atom03 {hardware ethernet 00:08:54:23:9C:BC;fixed-address atom03;}





127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ntly

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

192.168.42.250 atom00
192.168.42.1 atom01
192.168.42.2 atom02
192.168.42.3 atom03

Something I am missing ?

Thanks
Kai
