Moin, are you booting via BIOS/legacy or UEFI (with the corresponding GRUB)? "out of memory" sounds like something more likely to hit in a BIOS/legacy boot. On Tue, Dec 17, 2024 at 10:07:56AM +0100, Steffen Grunewald wrote: > Good morning, > > after a very promising start, I experienced a set-b

I wonder if you have a grub or a FAI problem? If it's a grub problem, I suggest to try Super Grub2 Disk which is a very sophisticated grub menu detecting all sorts of configurations. If this also fails, grub itself can't handle your environment (maybe because of bug in an edge case). Or is it only

You may not prevent that, because we do not know how the run script tries to detect a kernel version. In the chroot there's the target kernel installed, but it's still running the FAI installation kernel. Try to use the .deb packages instead of the run script. > On Fri, 25 Oct 2024 09:34:30 +
