Oh, sorry, I did not read correctly. The install kernel is defined in the package config of the classes defined for your host. There used to be a way to put custom (kernel and others packages somewhere into the files section of the config space - I never figured out how that works. I always put my custom packages in my own apt repository. I am a bit on the run, if you don't find out yourself how to create such a repository, I can tell you later... Henning
