I managed to find the cause of this problem:
On the config file '/etc/fai/NFSROOT' on the section
'PACKAGES aptitude AMD64', packages 'linux-image-2.6-amd64' and 'grub'
are listed. However, the first one does not exist on the natty
repository (so I replaced it with 'linux-image'), and 'grub' seems
to be a bit old and deprecated, so I replaced it with 'grub-pc'.

Probably on the Ubuntu FAI packages these configurations are right,
but I have installed the packages from
deb http://fai-project.org/download squeeze koeln

I have documented these modifications on my notes:
http://sourceforge.net/userapps/mediawiki/dashohoxha/index.php?title=Installing_Edubuntu_Automatically_with_FAI

I still have to retry the rest of the installation/configuration steps.
