[Sean.Gilley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I've got an install server set up based upon instructions at 
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/15522.html .  I've got all six 
SLES 9 disks there, plus the three SP3 disks, set up exactly as that page 
says to do.

I've created an install CD on which I've modified boot/loader/isolinux.cfg 
to add some command line options to the "install" menu item to add 
networking paramters, autoyast parameters, and also changes the timeout 
variable to zero.  I've also created an "info" file in initrd which 
contains a single line pointing to an autoyast install file.  That file 
was created from a machine I hand installed.

For a while, everything looks as if it works, but after the first reboot, 
the machine hangs with the following on the screen:

        GRUB Loading stage2

This has occured on two different machines, it also occurs if I boot the 
original SLES 9 disk or the SP3 disk, and then autoinstall from the 
server.  If I hand load the machines with the disks, everything works just 
fine.

I'm lost as to how to debug this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean.
