Mark, try to re-create your autoinstall script(s) by si_mkautoinstallscript with --autodetect-disks option. Moreover, did you update your boot package (kernel + initrd.img) in /tftpboot, or whatever dir you're using? (this is not needed with 4.0.x, but you should do so if you're using a 3.8.x release). -Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
