Glad you got it working, Gavin!

My tutorial was perhaps not clear enough on this particular item
(making sure the client install kernel had the root device driver and
filesystem driver compiled into the kernel instead of set as a
module), so I've made some changes to give more details on that.

You can see the updated tutorial on the FAI wiki at

Would this be of more help to someone experiencing the same problems
you had?
