sudo chmod +x /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/ntfs-mount

    If the Windows partition is not /dev/sda1 (you can check with cat /proc/partitions after the VM boots once), replace sda1 with the correct device name.

4. Re‑build the initramfs

First, make sure you are using an i686 kernel (the Omnibook’s CPU is 32‑bit). If you are on an amd64 kernel, install the 32‑bit one:

bash

sudo apt-get install -y linux-image-686
sudo reboot

After the VM boots the 32‑bit kernel, rebuild the initramfs:

bash

sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

The new initramfs will be written as /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r).
5. Export the kernel and the freshly built initramfs

bash

# Find the exact kernel name (should be something‑686)
KERNEL=$(basename /boot/vmlinuz-*)

mkdir -p ~/export
cp /boot/$KERNEL ~/export/vmlinuz
cp /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) ~/export/initrd.img
