- Make sure you've got the instsoft.FAIBASE hook as shown in the example config
  (and make sure it is being used!)
- You might need the following additional code in the instsoft.FAIBASE hook:


if ! [ -e $FAI_ROOT/boot/grub/menu.lst ] ; then
  if ! [ -e $FAI_ROOT/boot/grub ] ; then
    mkdir -p $FAI_ROOT/boot/grub
  fi  
  touch $FAI_ROOT/boot/grub/menu.lst
fi

HTH,
Michael
