Hi All

Ok, I took the plunge and upgraded to 3.5.3 in my quest to use an alternate kernel, build my own, or simply add modules.

I noticed si_mkbootpackage and after a few changes got it to build me the boot package. But I get the same /dev issue below when booting off my kernel of choice. My questions are

1. John, where is it you are adding the rsync exactly?

2. Is there another wrapper script that uses UseYourOwnKernel.pm? The cvs header shows it as newer than si_mkbootpackage, but didn't know it existed.

This seems like the best route to go, but until then I guess I'll try building my modules into the systemimager kernel again :)

thanks
charles

 I ran into a similar problem with gentoo.  I just went around the
 problem and added an rsync /dev/* to /a/dev right before the crhoot.
