Re: fai-setup failed
Hi Riza, there is no need to edit the NFSROOT file. The nfsroot has nothing to do with the system later installed (it is the base.tgz that is relevant for the system to be installed). Leave it to the default [1] and see if fai-setup -v continues to throw any errors. Btw, make sure that FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP is set to "lenny http://ftp.debian.org/debian"; in your /etc/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf.

I tried a 486 Kernel since this is a Pentium4. And since the Computer was running just fine and boots Knoppix, I don't think its the memory.

Hi Robert, On Wednesday 15 July 2009 09:49:52 you wrote: > Hi Christoph, > what NFSROOT are you using? Do you use a "stock" debian NFSROOT or > something different? I am using the nfsroot that was built by fai-make-nfsroot. Its the usual setup. Why do you think the nfsroot could be the cause ? Since other computers do boot with this nfsroot, I was thinking it might be the CPU or the Bios or something.

Re: Kernel just stops
Ah, yes, reading your original posting again I just saw that you don't even get to the NFSROOT; your boot stops after loading the TFTP kernel image. It is strange that other clients can boot with the exactly same configuration, just this one client is having issues. Did you check if you can run Debian Lenny on this specific machine at all? Might indeed be that the kernel is having troubles with one or the other hardware component of this machine. Would you mind posting the content of the TFTPROOT directory (like 'ls /srv/tftp/fai') and your make-fai-nfsroot.conf nevertheless?

It was running debian etch until now. I just wanted to do a reinstall. But since this is a Pentium4, this is the first Computer for a while which is i386. All others were amd64. But for testing I installed a DualCore with the i386 NFSROOT without problems. I will try another kernel now.
