Mark,

thank you for your tests.

you can also use UYOK kernel+initrd (custom kernel+modules)... in this
case we should not check the version of the boel modules with the
running kernel... but I think we could add a check like the following
somewhere in the autoinstallscript (maybe you meant this):

if [ ! -d /lib/modules/`uname -r` ]; then
    echo ...an error message reporting that modules
         for the running kernel are not present...
    shellout
fi

uhmmm.. logmsg should print messages in a file in tmpfs = ram... or not?
maybe I've not understood well...

I think the open_sock message has something to do with the pcmcia
support in the kernel and discover... I'm not sure... I need to
investigate...

The insmod errros are already fixed in the trunk.
