Netboot install uses a different initrd than the regular install? To do a basic install, one needs to load the drivers that control storage. Given the size problems with the initrd, I find it hard to believe that sym2 driver wouldn't be included. > If you really need to know if sym53c8xx loads ok, I can make a > custom netboot image that includes the module and try to load it though..

If this gets tedious for you, yes please. Please list what you need to know and send that the to me offlist. Otherwise, I expect we should be able to debug this with just console output. thanks, grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
