short update: /proc/config.gz with the grml kernel did not show any AUFS related entries, now trying the same with Ubuntu's jaunty kernel 2.6.28-11-server so far it looks good. Cheers Carsten

Hi, after the jaunty kernel gives the same result as the originally tried 2.6.26, so I think I can mostly exclude that it's a kernel issue. So, one of our new boxes (Asus board with 2 GPUs on it) boots via PXE, starts the FAI install (3.2.16) and runs through it fine, however, when almost done it
