Stas,

thanks for testing and posting these info.

In SystemImager 4.1.x the hardware.lst is always re-generated at end of
imaging, so this problem should be already fixed in recent versions
(i.e. 4.1.6).

Yes.

It's used by systemconfigurator to know which modules must be included
in the initrd and to create opportune kernel module aliases (see man
systemconfigurator).

You must not hard-code kernel version in post-install script.

CONFIGRD=YES must work, if not this means you've found a bug in
systemconfigurator, but to fix it we need the full systemconfigurator
output as I've requested in a previous email. Otherwise it's too
diffucult to understand where systemconfigurator failed.

For this I would suggest to enable monitoring (see
http://wiki.systemimager.org/index.php/Monitoring) and copy & paste
virtual console output.

No, it shouldn't cause any issue.
