The problem is that mkinitrd doesn't work properly in the x86 generic adaptation - ie, the problem isn't in Mer itself. The aim is to replace mkinitrd with dracut and I've been working on that. Will probably finalize on Monday. mkinitrd is obsolete and doesn't work with newer udev. A temporary workaround is instead to use raw images - add a ext2 /boot partition in the start of the .ks and perhaps change --ondisk sda to sdb if it's for a USB key target.
