You're right, the problem does not seem to be in initramfs-tools. In fact, reinstalling initramfs-tools_0.97 in the generated fai chroot fixes this problem as well. It seems to me that make-fai-nfsroot is installing and/or calling update-initramfs in a bad order that leads to the module 'virtio_net' ending up in the initramfs. I'm CC'ing mikap with this email. Mikap, perhaps you have some idea what might go wrong here? I'm using a more or less basic lenny installation (in an openvz container, but that shouldn't matter) with the packages downloaded from the fai source: deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download lenny koeln -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
