I've read your tutorial and added some questions to 
http://faiwiki.debian.net/index.php/User_talk:BrianShowalter/Using_customized_kernels_with_FAI
which I will repeat here (oh, and something I dont have written there: thanks 
for your efforts in documenting this! (even if I have complains :))


I dont understand:

1. why you dont file bugs against the fai-kernels package 
2. why you propose to rebuild a kernel|linux-image package and then use this 
as a fai-kernels package instead of rebuilding the fai-kernel package. How to 
do this is described in /usr/share/doc/fai-kernels/README

The same goes for the production kernel. You should rather suggest to file 
bugs against the default debian kernels so that in future those kernels will 
work out of the box.


Your tutorial is still (somewhat) useful, but the way it's written now, it 
gets people on a wrong track.


regards,
	Holger
