Hi there -while trying to install Debian on a Dell Latitude 7440, FAI aborts with "Error in task partition. Code: 710".
format.log on the target host states "No disks defined in $disklist" on the first line, which is corroborated by "disklist=" in variables.log . The FAI configuration is pretty standard, with only slight changes to disk_config.
The block device on the target host - which is a nvme disk - is being recognised by the kernel, /proc/partitions and lsblk list existing partitions. According to dmesg, these partitions are being picked up rather early in the boot process, so missing / delayed loaded kernel modules don't seem to cause the issue.
I am quoting relevant lines from fai.log below - please let me know if there is anything I can do to further debug this issue.
Thank you very much & with kind regards, Thoralf. fai.log: […] Calling task_action FAI_ACTION: install Performing FAI installation. All data may be overwritten!
