We already had this problem on the linux-fai mailing list. See
https://lists.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/linux-fai/2015-August/011058.html
Thx.
Which FAI version are you using? I guess 3.4.8..ubuntu...
There's a newer version (4.3.2...) in a launchpad PPA, which will work
much better than the really old 3.4.8 version, since it is used and
tested by a Ubuntu user. It's available at
https://launchpad.net/~fai/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
It seems I /have/ already 4.3.2:
$ dpkg --list | grep fai
ii fai-client 4.3.2+wheezy1
all Fully Automatic
Installation client package
ii fai-doc 4.3.2+wheezy1
all Documentation for FAI
ii fai-quickstart 4.3.2+wheezy1
all Fully Automatic
Installation quickstart package
ii fai-server 4.3.2+wheezy1
all Fully Automatic
Installation server package
ii libautodie-perl 2.23-1
all Perl pragma to make
certain failures fatal
$
Since I do not use Ubuntu, I cannot help very much. If the 4.3.2
version from the PPA does not work good enough, I would recommend to
use a Debian nfsroot for installing Ubuntu. This will work. A generic
Debian nfsroot can be found at
http://fai-project.org/download/misc/nfsroot-generic-fai-4.3.3.tar.xz
but you have to adjust (fai-make-nfsroot -a) it.
Thanks a lot. I'll give this a try next week.
I'm still in the process of getting a better understanding of FAI (and
Debian and Ubunto, coming from 100% RHEL/CentOS :-)
