Ok, I got a bit further into the potential problem.
I guess that the FAI kernel is supposed to start the /etc/init.d/rcS
from the NFS mounted root file system at some point in time, but for
whatever reason, it doesn't.
I have added some lines of code to the rcS script like this:
# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
# Main routine
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
echo "I was here" >> /mnt/tmp/Iwashere
umount /mnt
# Parse commandline options
But that file Iwashere is not written.
Can I check anything to find out why the root filesystem is obviously
mounted through NFS but then something's failing?
Regards,
Torsten

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.
