Dear Marianne, Sorry for the late response - summer and all that.
I have encountered something similar, and if I remember correctly, then si_prepareclient is rather picky with the namin of the initrd file (to be packed with the kernel for later installs). si_prepareclient looks for matching file names in /boot/, but it is unaware of the newer forms "initramfs*", and only looks for "initrd*". (Can't remember if you also needthe output from uname -r in there.) My personal hack is simply to copy (or hard link) the "real" initramfs to something, which will be recognized, e.g. like: cp -av initramfs-$(uname -r).img initrd-to-sisuite-$(uname -r).img (Also, I have to remove any /boot/initrd-$(uname -r)kdump.img, but you do not seem to have such). Best, Bjarne PS: The actual (wrong) checking for si_prepareclient goes on in the sub "is_initrd" in UseYourOwnKernel.pm.
