Hello,

I'm trying to install Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
For i386 architecture it works, fai boots, partitions and configures the
install client.

Problems arouse when booting an AMD64 kernel:
right after "mounting root device":
 /init: .: 150: Can't open /scripts/live

I've read the postings to Bug#452363, but doesn't help me.

/srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live
does exist in my nfsroot environment.


My setup is:
Fai-Server: Debian Etch, with FAI from koeln repos.
nfsroot: Debian Etch, created for i386
basefiles are generated for both architectures
kernels:
i386: linux-image-2.6.18-5-686          2.6.18.dfsg.1-17 from etch
amd64: linux-image-2.6.18-5-amd64 2.6.18.dfsg.1-17 from etch

I try to share the nfsroot for both type of fai-clients, amd64 and i386
arch clients.
Is it possible to do so?

Regards,
Eymen Alyaz
