There you should include the FAI repository (for getting the > newer FAI packages). For anyone else having this problem in Ubuntu, the following should work:
Create this file in your FAI configspace: scripts/UBUNTU/05-initramfs and paste the following lines: <snip> error=0 ; trap "error=$((error|1))" ERR # Apt-Pinning for initramfs-tools fcopy -v /etc/apt/preferences.d/initramfs.pref # Remove the FAI apt source $ROOTCMD rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fai.list # Refresh the sources $ROOTCMD apt-get update # Downgrade to initramfs-tools from the Ubuntu repository echo "* Downgrade initramfs-tools" $ROOTCMD apt-get -y --force-yes install initramfs-tools # Install all packages that have been removed # by the FAI-specific initramfs-tools package # e.g. console-setup echo "* Install ubuntu-minimal" $ROOTCMD apt-get -y install ubuntu-minimal # Print the version of the now installed initramfs-tools (optional) echo "* Version of initramfs-tools:" $ROOTCMD dpkg -s initramfs-tools exit $error </snip> Provided that the FAI sources.list is in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fai.list and you use a class called 'UBUNTU'. Your /etc/apt/preferences.d/initramfs.pref may look like this: <snip> Package: initramfs-tools Pin: origin Ubuntu Pin-Priority: 1000 Package: initramfs-tools Pin: origin fai-project.org Pin-Priority: -1 </snip> Cheers, Robert
