There must be something wrong with your /etc/kernel-img.conf, which is copied by
the hook instsoft.FAIBASE (so you must have the class FAIBASE defined for this
to work).  Either you are missing it entirely, or it doesn't have "do_initrd =
yes". Well, then there is the question of which FAI version your configuration
is based upon, because we didn't have the kernel-img.conf stuff in versions
before 2.10 I think (which is like ages ago :-) ).

Best,
Michael
