Copy /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-fai-kernels:

$ cp /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-fai-kernels /boot/fai/vmlinuz-install

Then it should work properly (I think). Perhaps you want to save
the original vmlinuz-install before.


To the developers: I'm wondering whether it would be nice that the
'fai-chboot' script would check by default whether
/boot/fai/vmlinuz-install is the appropiate boot-sector (perhaps a
naming problem) or not. Currently I'm trying to install both i386 and
amd64 architectures in parallel and often I forget to copy the correct
vmlinuz-install by hand so that the installation process doesn't start
properly...
