Hello, thanks for taking care :-) live-netdev=eth1 is not a consistent solution as some servers swap the devices like they want.. like this one here: these are the shown mac...

additionally: i tested live-netdev=eth1 if it then starts from this device.. yes it does. but as i say this is only a half backed solution cause some motherboards/kernels swap devices...

We see more and more UEFI only Boards upcomming. Also with several onboard nics. This is a general long know problem with the swap of device names.. Do you see...

is this the correct way to pack the initrd.img? ``` find . | cpio -o > ../new_initrd.img cd .. xz < new_initrd.img > new_initrd.img.xz mv new_initrd.img.xz /tftpboot/grml/initrd.img ``` cause somehow...

``` find . | LC_ALL=C sort | cpio --quiet -R 0:0 $cpio_reproducible -o -H newc >>"${outfile} ``` so cpio_owner_root is probably -R 0:0. but what is cpio_reproducible? Sorry for that...

Thank you very much for the hints. It works. unpack: ``` cp /tftpboot/grml/initrd.img /usr/src/grml/ cd /usr/src/grml mv initrd.img initrd.img.xz xz -d initrd.img.xz cpio -i < initrd.img ``` i had to...

i have meanwhile done the same for my ubl builds and released it in my fork. maybe you are interested: https://github.com/ThomasToka/Marlin/commit/b4d1f86b60657b74380a7a7c6f610717722a2e87
