Hi,

The server is a virtual (xen) server.  It doesn't have any floppy.  I 
now have recompiled kernel with loopback device.  But:


xen4:~#  make-fai-bootfloppy -f /root/fai_floppy.img
1440+0 records in
1440+0 records out
1474560 bytes transferred in 0.006242 seconds (236230513 bytes/sec)
Creating an ext2 filesystem on floppy device /root/fai_floppy.img.
Creating the boot floppy with grub.
cp: writing `/media/floppy/vmlinuz-2.6.14.2-ugent-fai': No space left on 
device

Is this because of the tmpfs that is to small?

xen4:~# df

  Thanks in advance,
