Not sure about doing this on a diskless system, never having set one up myself, but what follows should work on a standard install.

Sounds like the kerneloops package was installed at some stage and then removed, but it left behind the /etc/init.d/kerneloops script.

Can you check if this package is installed?

Code:

dpkg -l kerneloops

I expect you will get an output that looks something like this:

Code:

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name            Version         Description
+++-===============-===============-=====================================
rc  kerneloops      <none>          (no description available)

Check for the "rc" on the last line. This means the package was removed, but the config files were left in place.
If so you can "purge" the left over config files (in this case /etc/init.d/kerneloops and symlinks)

Use the command.

Code:

dpkg --purge kerneloops
