But not any longer. I have alse checked the directory where the image is prepared. Even after the images.sh script is executed, the /boot directory is still populated with the following contents. config-2.6.16.54-0.2.5-default grub initrd message symsets-2.6.16.54-0.2.5-default.tar.gz symtypes-2.6.16.54-0.2.5-default.gz symvers-2.6.16.54-0.2.5-default.gz System.map-2.6.16.54-0.2.5-default vmlinux.gz vmlinuz I can send you a tarball of the image configuration if you want. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Could you tell me the contents of the /boot directory after _first_ deployment ? Please call ls -l /boot so I can see if there are links or something in it.
