You can say: ip=eth1:dhcp
or even specify the MAC address with dracut.

This can also happen if it tires to do a NFS v4 mount. So, first check
if you see a mount request on the FAI install server. If yes, you may
have this NFSv4 problem. See these hints

P.S.: I'm always very interested in user experiences with FAI. Can you
      please fill out the FAI questionnaire
      http://fai-project.org/questionnaire and send it back to me when
      you finished a project with fai.
