i386 nfsroot

[Jeong Han Lee]

Hi,

    You might try to comment out  console-tools and console-common,
    and add    console-data and console-setup-linux  in your NFSROOT file.


    remove your nfsroot i386 directory (defined in nfsroot.conf) e.g.,

    rm -rf /srv/fai/nfsroot-i386

    Then, execute

    fai-setup -C /etc/fai-i386 -v

    And then

    fai-setup -C /etc/fai-i386 -vk


    I am not sure, the above solution will resolve your issues. However, 
the issues which you have is quite similar with my problems, which were 
fixed by the above methods.

    Thanks,
    Han
