I searched the archives regarding subject of "hangs on 'creating initrd'" and I did not find a resolution.
I took the script that Mike MacIsaac wrote and modified it to use the -e parameter as noted in the e-mail thread. I have included my version of the mkinstallroot script as well as the order and instorder files. After using these scripts my installation continues to hang on 'creating initrd' at 62%. Did I do something wrong?
