Thinking about this a little more, I have a suspicion about what the issue might be. The systemimager install scripts create and mount the filesystems in numerical order. If you, like many, put /boot on /dev/hda1 and root on /dev/hda3. /boot gets created but not mounted properly. We had to edit the image script here to make sure / got created first. Maybe this is your issue.

Hello,

After I autoinstall a machine, there are no files visible in the ext2
formatted /boot partition.

The only folder visible is lost+found, indicating that mke2fs worked
correctly perhaps?

The files are actually there, as the system boots from them fine! (And
the disk space they use can be seen etc).

A quick fsck seemed to fix it, but now that dosnt seem to work either.

Is this strictly a problem with a machine built by SIS? The golden client is fine?

Is there a mount line in /etc/fstab?

What does 'fdisk -l' show?

Some distros are a little goofy about this fs -- they're protecting you
from yourself.  Could this be the case?
