I upgraded the FAI build server to jessie and things are looking much better. I still have some build issues, but at least I get to the FAI portion of the build process now.

The use of systemd-sysv seems to cause problems. Can anyone explain why sysvinit-core works while systemd-sysv does not, even though those two packages are supposed to provide the same functionality?

I found the problem. You do not install the package sysvinit-core into
the NFSROOT. Please add sysvinit-core to /etc/fai/NFSROOT and rebuild
the nfsroot. This should fix hopyfully all of your problems.

Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the issue. Using chroot, I see
that sysvinit-core is, in fact, installed:

% chroot /srv/fai/jessie-amd64 dpkg -l | grep sysvinit-core
ii  sysvinit-core                  2.88dsf-59               amd64
  System-V-like init utilities

However, I am seeing the same pxeboot problems from my original e-mail;
see http://paste.debian.net/174459




I think I will add a test to fai-make-nfsroot.
