Thank you for the praise, but a word of caution:

The grml kernel 3.10 has a potential issue for some machines where the
kernel modules mei and mei_me cause the system reboot to end with a
power down, i.e. the FAI installation will work fine, however, when the
system reboots it will shut down ("chassis power off").

grml kernel 3.10 has both "modules" installed into the kernel
CONFIG_INTEL_MEI and CONFIG_INTEL_MEI_ME, thus there is no way to black
list these.

grml kernel 3.11 solves this problem by having these two compiled as
modules, thus one can use /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf or the command
line argument "modprobe.blacklist=mei,mei_me".

Cheers

Carsten
