The problem reported by John is due to a turncated initrd, the message "attempt to access beyond end of device" is clear: attempt to access beyond end of device ram0: rw=0, want=32776, limit=32768 EXT2-fs error (device ram0): ext2_get_inode: unable to read inode block - inode 289, block=16387 Warning: unable to open an initial console. Maybe you have a different problem... Anyway, udev support has been introduced from 3.7.0 and now in 3.7.5 it should be considered stable. Your problem occurs after the transfer of the image or in the first stage of the boot? Have you tried to change the following option in your autoinstallscript.conf: <boel devstyle="static"/> into: <boel devstyle="static"/> and run si_mkautoinstallscript again?
