Hi folks,
I'm new with the FAI server setup, I'm using fai version 5.7 on stretch.
I want to operate installation of clients with a serial console using
the profile functionality so I can get a menu. It works when I'm
connecting a screen to the server (well, i'm using a virtual box setup
to test), I can choose the right menu. It's broken when I replicate the
same steps using the serial console (ttyS0), I get the menu of profile,
I choose the option, press enter. Boom with the following error message.
As if I was pressing "cancel"... which is not the case.
./40-parse-profiles.sh defined new classes:

FATAL ERROR. Installation stopped.
On the serial console ttyS0, using the menu profile, after have chosen
the profile, I don't get the screen about "all your data on this disk
WILL BE DESTROYED"
here are the boot parameters:
append initrd=initrd.img-4.9.0-8-amd64 ip=dhcp
root=/srv/fai/nfsroot:vers=3 rootovl console=ttyS0,115200n8
FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt,menu
FAI_CONFIG_SRC=nfs://faiserver/srv/fai/config FAI_ACTION=install
I suspect the problem is with this script...

Many thanks in advance.
