Hello Eric & All, >>A question about the fs: did you use fat23 (with the vfat driver) or >>fat16? In the latter case the module names are truncated, in the first >>case the vfat module has to be added to the usb initrd. Most memory stick come with fat16. I've checked all I got an all have FAT16. When I created the Image i siply used what was there allready thus the image is created with FAT16. At least as it is today.
