hey there - i got this error too when i was trying to use the latest fai 
with a woody debian installation.  in the logs it said the kernel 
package wasn't getting installed b/c the kernel for the clients (2.4.22) 
requires a version of initrd-tools that is only in Sarge or on 
backports.org.  When I put:

deb http://www.backports.org/debian stable initrd-tools

into FAI_SOURCES_LIST at /etc/fai/fai.conf everything worked fine.  

but now i'm on sarge so it's not a problem anymore! :)
