Ok, After I applied the changes manually I was able to get past the initial invalid kernel problem. I was then able to run though the installation process but when I tried to boot the system for the first time I kept getting stuck at "RAMDISK: compressed image found at block 0". I discovered that if I decompressed and then recompressed the initrd file I was then able to boot successfully.
Any idea what is going wrong? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrea Righi Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 2:22 PM To: sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Sisuite-users] Problems with standard kernel and uyok with HP xw9400?

There's a bug and I should have fixed it in the trunk... the patch is the following, you can apply it directly to /usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/UseYourOwnKernel.pm. You can also manually fix it using one of the kernels available in the /boot of your image.
