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

[Stephane Martin]

Works with your modification.

The problem was that update-initramfs was done when the kernel is installed
(in the DEFAULT package) but at this time the lvm2 is not installed so
lvmchange is not installed.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Stephane.
