Did you also update your kernel + initrd.img in /tftpboot? Remember that updating the files in /usr/share/systemimager/boot is not enough if you don't update your /tftpboot. With >= 3.9.4 you don't have to care anymore about synchronizing the boot packages, since the tftpboot dir is a symlink to /usr/share/systemimager/boot. -Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
