I also have this setup, since I'm not allowed to run my own DHCP server :-(. IMO it's a bug in dracut, but upstream didn't changed the code as I suggested. Maybe I should ask again. I use a templte for fai-chboot. Do you know this feature? I've created a file /srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.cfg/jessie.tmpl (by calling fai-chboot and then editing it). For each new install client, I call fai-chboot -vc jessie.tmpl newclient That way, the template gets copied to the config for the client called newclient. -- regards Thomas
