My buildserver is debian sarge i386. For i386 Dapper, I run make-fai-nfsroot on the sarge buildserver. For amd64 Dapper I installed fai-server (2.10.5 from the FAI repository) on a preexisting Dapper-amd64 box and ran make-fai-nfsroot there, then copied the generated nfsroot over to the sarge buildserver. The problem with udevd not starting up occurred in both situations. > > - which version of FAI do you try to run, which version is the install > server, which version do you want to install.

If this is not considered a bug with upstream FAI, I can just document the tweak in the FAI wiki somewhere. My intention is to always use the same fai package and build server as much as possible, and it seems that certain ubuntu-specific bugs (such as not allowing unsigned debs to be installed without erring-out) have been fixed in the past. I understand, though, if this is not germaine to the upstream FAI. -- -Mike Horansky, ITSS/Unix Systems and Applications [EMAIL PROTECTED] OPINIONS EXPRESSED BY ME ARE NOT NECESSARILY SHARED BY MY EMPLOYERS. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
