What's wrong with building your stage4 with catalyst and have it include a kernel ? We use catalyst to generate all our install images and catalyst uses genkernel internally to include it in the image. Just specify which kernel you'd like and provide a .config for it. We've installed 1300 servers that way, I'll personally guarantee you that it works :-D Regards, Ramon van Alteren Teamlead System Engineering Hyves.nl -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHsBG+wiVM6CtDHQ0RAuQqAJ9Skjom5EfV85IqW2rQei9fU62B7QCffMD8 vu8QqElvFhyc5OU2bTuYlIo= =V5Mi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] mailing list
