Ehlo all,

Finally, finally... It's over 8))))))))))))))))))
The installation rolls.

In fact, we created more problems than necessary 8)

*All* there was to do (once you know it) to install ML 8.1 or cooker on this 
fu**ing Compaq server :
  Compile a kernel with cpqarray and PS2 mouse support included (not as       
     modules)
  Create a disk from the network.img
  Replace vmlinuz by the new kernel
  At the first screen press F1
  Pass a few parameters to the kernel (God knows we tried many params) :      
     linux expert noauto (we never thought about the noauto option)
  And its over. Everything else turns OK.
  No need to recompile or change the mdkinst_stage2 thing.

Now we'll be able to update all our Compaq servers to replace the 8.0 cooker.

Anyway, thanks to those who helped.

Sven
