Hello,

the Problem with rsync was related to the problem with the missing
modules.dep, I reported in=20

Because of the high amount of the error messages about the missing
modules.dep, I did not see the message "Can't locate module net-pf-1"

I think there a two ways to solve both problems:

a) Provide Modules
   On the miniroot-server
   1) Prepare replicator.conf
   2) Copy the Kernel-Image to the Pfad specified in replicator.conf
   3) Run repli-miniroot
   4) Copy the Modules from the used Kernel to
      <miniroot>/lib/modules/<kernelversion>/

   After booting the target with the replicator-bootdisk a new
   modules.dep is generated and rsync is working.
   This is working for me with the DHCP Kernel from the Debian-Package
   "fai-kernels"

b) Don't use modules at all
   Use a kernel witch has completly disabled modules support.
   I think such a kernel should be compiled with "CONFIG_UNIX=3Dy" to
   solve the problem about the missing module "net-pf-1"
   I did not test this.
