FAI 3.2.5, Etch, /initrd.img is a damaged link

[Stefan Tichy]

Hi,

FAI 3.2.5 is avaiable an I tried to install and use it.
Live-initramfs is not part of Etch but available as backport.


"make-fai-nfsroot -r -v" produces some errors:


install_packages: executing chroot .... aptitude -R ....

A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:


Other error messages caused by dependency problems since linux-image
has status "install ok unpacked" only.



As a consequence any attempt to install servers using this
environment probably will fail, but it should be possible to boot
and mount the (incomplete) ./filesystem.dir/.

The client has two interfaces. eth1 is used for pxe-Boot but the
client tries to mount using eth0.

All relevant options should be part of the config located in
./pxelinux.cfg/ directory:

ip=<client-ip>:<server-ip>:::<client-name>:eth1:off

Is this not correct or are other settings required?


Thanks in advance
