are you sure, that the initrd you are booting via pxe is really the
one you have changed?
I also need changes to the initrd and as there is currently no established
method in FAI to do this. I use NFSROOT_HOOKS to run a
script at the end of make-fai-nfsroot, which sets up the initramfs hooks,
re-runs update-initramfs and copies the results again. Not the most elegant
way, but I don't see a better one at the moment.
This is the hook file I use:
# cat /etc/fai/nfsroot-hooks/patch-initrd
#!/bin/sh
#
echo "Enter patch initrd hook"
# copy files to patch initrd
cp /usr/local/etc/*patch $NFSROOT/usr/local/etc
cp /usr/local/etc/initramfs-tools_hook_network
$NFSROOT/etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/network
$ROOTCMD update-initramfs -k all -t -u
cp -pv $NFSROOT/boot/vmlinu?-* $NFSROOT/boot/initrd.img-* $TFTPROOT
echo "Exit patch initrd hook"
Bye, Ralf
thanks, i will try this one. The initrd is the good one, For now i am
able to boot from aoe but the root fs is mounted read only :) so FAI
fails to start.

i have to digg a little to find why it is mounted read only and then the
system will be able to work.
