ok that is normal kernel in stage2, strange that these modules were not included. > What is isolinux? it is not more relevant to your pb, but well. Normal CD booting are made with an emulation floppy at the beginning of the CDs. This as the drawbacks that the floppy is only 1.44 MB (we could use 2.88 MB images, but as far as we tested, this failed in some configurations) and only few drivers can be selected. That is why the images directory contains several boot floppy images, one for network, one for hd, etc. isolinux is a different way of booting, in which the entire iso9660 filesystem (the entire CD) is view at boot time. As a consequence all the drivers are available at once. However we do not have yet very much experiments on isolinux and hardware or config it could not boot on, that is why it is not default but only available on CD number 2. -- Warly
