I think it's more likely that they just don't use the parameter "initrd=". Anyway, we could add a new breed for it, but I am not inclined to do it for a proprietary Linux distribution. Sorry! I believe things like "---" should work fine, for instance you can set noapic easily which has no value. Perhaps you have the literal string None in there as the value. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
