FAI installation with grml kernel fails

[spam at swisscoast.ch]

hi

i (successfully) did a FAI install for ubuntu 12.04 precise.

but there is a caveat: as the generic kernel that comes with this ubuntu
release does not support aufs anymore, i had to use the grml kernel
(3.1.0-grml64). this kernel did not assign my disks to root:disk (as FAI
expects in order to find the disks for partitioning) but to root:root.
this way setup-storage fails and FAI ends up in the BusyBox.

i did submit the problem on launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fai/+bug/941959

the workaround was to manually chown the disks to root:disk in a FAI script.

not sure if this is a grml problem or one that should be fixed in FAI.


best regards
