live-initramfs

[Henning Fehrmann]

Hello,


I installed the fai-server version 3.2.15.
Running make-fai-nfsroot I get the following message:

Removing `local diversion of /usr/sbin/update-initramfs to /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.distrib'
`/srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.10-faiinstall' -> `/srv/tftp/fai/vmlinuz-2.6.27.10-faiinstall'
cp: cannot stat `/srv/fai/nfsroot/live/filesystem.dir/boot/initrd.img-*': No such file or directory

ERROR: No initrd installed.




In the /etc/fai/NFSROOT I included

PACKAGES aptitude
:
live-initramfs
linux-image-2.6.27.10-faiinstall
:


I guess, a proper initrd has to come already with the kernel.

Creating the initrd for the kernel, do I need to use the live-initramfs hook?
I am using the kernel-package tools. I would expect to get a initrd using 
make-kpkg --revision ... kernel-image --initrd 
which does not work, also I can create it directly with mkinitramfs.

do_initrd = Yes 
is already in /etc/kernel-img.conf

Either something is missing in the /etc/kernel-img.conf or in  /etc/initramfs-tools or somewhere else.

Can somebody write a short recipe describing the way how to get the right initrd for the fai installation?
Well, at least, I need to make the filesystem on the clients writable.

Thank you
