Read-only filesystem after moving to new server

[Leen Smit]

Hey All,

Thanks ever so much for the pointers. Indeed the missing bnx2 driver was 
the problem.. On the old system we had a custom kernel with the driver 
build in. Im still not sure as to why I couldn't boot with this kernel 
anymore (the missing initrd..) but adding the firmware-bnx2 to 
/etc/fai/NFSROOT and creating a NFSROOT was sufficient to get everything 
working again.. Rather silly of me I didnt think of that (I was trying 
to recreate a custom kernel without success).

One more question: Since when, and why, is FAI looking for the config 
files in $NFSROOT/var/lib/fai/config ? I had to copy my config over to 
that dir to get the FAI install working again, simply leaving the config 
in /srv/fai/config  resulted in a "cant find config" error...

Again, thanks for all your help!

Leen
