Hi,

I'm running fai-server 3.2.12 on etch. I would like to create a NFS  
root for lenny/amd64. Unfortunately, it fails every time. I've  
created /etc/fai/apt_arch.conf and /etc/fai/apt.conf both containing:
APT {
         Architecture "amd64";
}

Also, my make-fai-nfsroot.conf has this:
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="lenny ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/debian/ --arch  
amd64"

In the logs I see that fai is trying to install/fetch i386 packages,  
because my NFSROOT has this:
PACKAGES aptitude I386
grub lilo read-edid
linux-image-2.6 unionfs-modules-2.6-486

PACKAGES aptitude AMD64
grub lilo
linux-image-2.6-amd64 unionfs-modules-2.6-amd64

But the log shows this:
"linux-image-2.6" is a virtual package provided by:
   linux-image-2.6.25.17-fai-client linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686
   linux-image-2.6.26-1-vserver-686-bigmem linux-image-2.6.26-1- 
vserver-686
   linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-686 linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64
   linux-image-2.6.26-1-686-bigmem linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
   linux-image-2.6.26-1-486

What am I missing, or doing wrong?

Cheers,
Nikola
