Problem booting with a LVM root after installing a client with FAI on debian ETCH

[Stephane Martin]

I have added lvm2 to the FAIBASE and DEFAULT package and from what i see on
the installation trace from the FAI client ramfs is regenerated when the
client is installed. Also i have checked the time on the initramfs file so i
am sure it is regenerated at the time of the install.

But i have still not /sbin/vgchange in the /sbin ramdisk...
