Just as a data point - I started out with FAI 3.2.4 on debian/etch and 
based my installation scripts on the
provided config space. Currently the nfsroots are based on Debian Lenny 
(32bit and 64bit version) and
install Debian Etch and Lenny (+ Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and SLES10 SP1) without 
problems. (32 and 64bit
archs of all distributions from the same config space.) The scripts are 
heavily customized by now of course,
so that's why I said it's just a data point.

Maybe you could upload a zip of your config space and we can have a look 
at it?


Btw. is anybody interested in how i pulled this of? If yes, then I would 
try to "clean up" our config space
and provide it to the public. (It currently contains some sensitive 
data, which I don't want outsider to see.)
Additionally there's some stuff that isn't coded very well and really 
should be redone in a better way. >.<;;
The previously mentioned debootstrap issues is one of these. Well. 
"Works for me." For now...

Next milestone would be to install all distrib/archs from a 64bit 
nfsroot and keep the 32bit one just for
compatibility reasons (hardware too old).
