Hello,
I am facing some challenges with getting into the fai menu on boot when moving to newer versions.
I have already moved from asc to gpg for the public keys and also found:
 OLD: rd.live.image
   NEW: rd.live.overlay.overlayfs
in the news.
However, when booting using a squash.img mounted as a live root I am facing some issues.
It simply boots and then says FAI: installation aborted.
There is an error message about rpcbind not being owned by root but it doesn't seem critical because if I press enter to go to shell and just type fai the entire installation goes through as expected.
/var/log/fai is empty
/tmp/fai is empty
Is there anywhere I could find some kind of log to tell me why it aborts the installation? I was hoping to reproduce by executing fai manually but as that works I am a bit at loss...
Best regards
Balder
