I am forgetting about aufs1, but if I remember correctly, aufs1 needed CONFIG_AUFS_brabra and a patch to support nfs branch. > the kiwi initrd in a way, that two nfs3 mounts are unioned, where the xino > mapping file resides on tmpfs.

Aufs1 will not ring my bell any more. :-) BTW, Bruno Cesar Ribas (an aufs user and a maintainer of the public aufs2 GIT tree) is kindly creating a new GIT tree. After it succeeds and I push everything to the new tree, it will be renamed to "aufs2-2.6.git." J. R.
