using the standard systemconfigurator-2.2.2-1 I can try the new one, just weird that this is failing and totally seems to be a SDA to HDA thang.. I feel I'm missing something and just not sure what and or where.
I've tried this image on a secondary HDA box (different make, different components) and it acts the exact same way. I've tried 2 different images, which means 2 different scripts and still the same results. I'll take a look at the new systemconfigurator. Also: I thought about this more this eve, and what is definately failing is the bios scan, since systemconfigurator is using --stdin to configure, the bios is not providing it with what it needs (why I'm not sure). and then it's defaulting to some backedup device map (where is this map? I would be interested to see what info it's trying to run with)// Thanks Andrea!
