Hello Nicolas,
It looks very similar to my first steps using FAI:
So you tried already adding :vers=3 to your cmdline after the
root=a.b.c.d:/srv/fai/nfsroot in your /srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.cfg/HOSTNAME
which you created using fai-chboot ?
Is the nfs-server the same as the tftp?
Are you able to mount the nfsroot, when you booted via live-cd that particular
client? so /etc/exports is set up correct on the nfs-server?
I hope, it helps tracking down the panic
