Hi Thomas!

I cannot use that support guy; it was pure chance that a remote reset did not work, so I had to use their support and he told me that. If I make them fix that, they are going to charge be an unreasonable amount of money for "remote hands".

I cannot communicate with the box, so I cannot tell.

But what we know for sure is:

It mounted the root filesystem via NFS from the FAI server.
I just checked, even a regular kernel would then start init which would in turn execute /etc/init.d/rcS; which would be coming from the NFS root filesystem. But my commands I added in rcS are not executed.

Is it correct to assume that when I mount /srv/fai/nfsroot as /, then the install client will be chrooted and see /srv/fai/nfsroot as /, so if init is looking for /etc/init.d/rcS, this will map to /srv/fai/nfsroot/etc/init.d/rcS on the server?

Does the FAI kernel have ext2/ext3 filesystem support?
Is it built with netconsole support?
What does the -m option mean on the kernel command line?

Regards,
Torsten

Mmm. First, let's try to confirm that your box really booted FAI. Is
ther a red ASCII logo? What's the output of

df
pstree

The support guy should send you all files in /tmp/fai. With those data
we can debug much better.
