Thanks for your response, unfortunately the original Debian -xen kernels to not run stable on Citrix XenServer. So I decided to put the kernel provided by Citrix in my own Repo and build a custom initrd. After I found the part noting "live-initramfs" in your documentation it worked perfectly and I'm now able to start a paravirtualized FAI installation using the Citrix XenCenter GUI etc. Regards, Markus
