All kernel packages that are made by make-kpkg can be installed with or without using an initrd. In the script DEFAULT/S01 is a line fcopy /etc/kernel-img.conf The DEFAULT file for this config file defines if an initrd should be build or not. Therefore you MUST define the kernel package to be installed with the variable $addpackages (in a class/*.var file), and not add the package name to a file in package_config. This is because the file kernel-img.conf will be copies in DEFAULT/S01 and after that the packages defined in $addpackages will be installed. P.S: If you add a time-servers entry to your dhcpd.conf (this is normally your fai install server, which only needs inetd running to obtain the time) the warning messages from tar will go away, and your install client will have the correct time set. -- regards Thomas
