Do you use the fai-kernels config for the running system (I suspect if because the name you are using)? I am not exactly sure if this kernel is optimized for usage in production/standard runtime systems, or if this is even a bad idea to use this config for something else than a FAI installation. which version of FAI are you using? The addpackages functionality has been removed in some recent versions, I don't remeber which one exactly, but look i the list archive to find it out, or in the changelog. You should put the kernel package in a "normal" package list - a hook for the class FAIBASE which is included in the simple configuration examples makes that the installation of the kernel doesn't break because of mkinitrd. hth, Henning
