Hi, I'm trying to setup FAI for a test machine (KVM virtual machine, managed from virt-manager) in order to understand enough to deploy FAI for some 120 machines (of 5 flavours) in faculty computer rooms.
fai-setup -v shows quite nice installation of ubuntu 10.04 to /srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/ dhcp for 'demohost' is configured to give it 192.168.100.150 (same in /etc/hosts), dhcpd.conf entry: host demohost { hardware ethernet 52:54:00:cf:b8:2c; fixed-address 192.168.100.150; filename "pxelinux.0"; } $ sudo fai-chboot -Iv demohost Booting kernel vmlinuz-2.6.38-11-generic append initrd=initrd.img-2.6.38-11-generic ip=dhcp demohost has 192.168.100.150 in hex C0A86496 Writing file /srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.cfg/C0A86496 for demohost Yet booting fails to find kernel: [virtio-net]I/O address 0x0000c060, IRQ #11 MAC address 52:54:00:CF:B8:2C Searching for server (DHCP).....
