it does *not* work on x86, we have provided you with a long list of bugs
that would needed to be fixed, which didn't happen until now.
the only worktime you invested was downgrading the reported bugs.

as linux-2.6 x86 Debian kernel Maintainer i ask this software to be

the new kid on the block is dracut and i'd be more then happy to help
