Quick question: My install kernel does not have an init= line. I think I had been some init= line somewhere on FAI today. Should the install kernel run /etc/init.d/rcS without a specific parameter? Should I try init=/etc/init.d/rcS? I am not sure if the kernel accepts a script rather than a binary as an init process.

Well, might be rather a kernel question, not an FAI question ...

Maybe you ISP blocks port 4711. But anyway.
Try to ssh into you install client. If you haved added the flag sshd
to FAI_FLAGS, the you can log in as root intop your client. The you
can also read the log files.
