Description Alvin Lee 2006-04-13 18:47:11 UTC 
The reason is indicated by blow codes in function setup_gk_args() of  /usr/lib/catalyst2/targets/support/kmerge.sh
###LINE:35
if [ -d "${clst_initramfs_overlay}" ]
then
  GK_ARGS="${GK_ARGS} --initramfs-overlay=/tmp/initramfs_overlay/${clst_initramfs_overlay}"        fi
###
It is clear that these codes are excecuted in chroot environment,so we cannot judge ${clst_initramfs_overlay} is a directory or not. Indeed we should judge whether  /tmp/initramfs_overlay/${clat_initramfs_overlay} is a directory instead. After changing these codes I got my target successfully 
by passing the initramfs_overlay argument.
