scripts don't execute

I would try running the scripts "by hand" while the install is going on. 
I am blind so I always ssh to the machine and run scripts when I have 
trouble with them. But you can press control+alt+f2 to get to a shell 
and run them.

If your script is named, myscript.sh, you'd type, 
"/var/lib/fai/config/scripts/myscript.sh".

I'm assuming you have enabled either ssh or virtual terminal  in your 
pxe config. Something like "FAI_FLAGS=sshd" or "FAI_FLAGS=createvt".
