There are two different fai-cd ISO images. One for 32bit, one for
64bit. Maybe you fetched the wrong version?
The 64bit version uses this link:
http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/fai-cd/fai-cd-3.2_amd64.iso
It's still FAI 3.2, but I will build a new CD image for 3.2.10 by
next week. This will then include the 2.6.25 kernel and the new 
partitioning tool.
