FAI & Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope

[Richard Grant]

The specific trouble we had was that once the jaunty client was 
installed you couldn't actually launch a terminal on it - and you 
couldn't login to a remote terminal either. It turned out that this was 
because the order of the jobs in rcS.d seemed to be wrong. I can't 
remember the exact details, but the bottom line is that it was causing 
it to fail to load the terminals into the mtab. There were two scripts 
that tried to do this, and one (that ran first) seemed to have a 
slightly odd syntax. Changing the order these two scripts ran in fixed 
the problem.

This was actually the only problem we found, but if it was doing 
something like this then we weren't convinced it wouldn't be doing other 
things that we would only discover later on. Using a jaunty base.tgz 
resolved this issue (and hopefully any others that we hadn't discovered...)
