Ok, sorry I missed that! It solves the problem. However, two
issues remain:

1) You write that for x86_64 systems, the bugfix script should
   be executed on an x86_64 system. But we plan to use the sources 
   forinstalling both architectues, x86 and x86_64, with autoyast.
   So where should we execute the script? Will it work for x86
   systems if we run it on x86_64 systems?
   If we need two different driverupdate files, can we handle that
   somehow via pxelinux? We have specific tftpboot directories for
   x86 and x86_64 with the according initrd and kernel files. Can
   we send a specific driverupdate file, too?

2) As soon as I use my additional source via add_on_products, AY
   ignores all files from the base selection. My profile looks like
   this:
    <software>
    <base>Minimal</base>
    <packages config:type="list">
      <package>sendmail</package>
      <package>lilo</package>
      <package>kernelbio-source</package>
      <package>texinfo</package>
    </packages>
    <remove-packages  config:type="list">
      <package>kernel-source</package>
      <package>postfix</package>
      <package>grub</package>
    </remove-packages>
    </software>


   The "kernelbio-source" is a package in my additional source.
   This works and installs all packages from the Minimal selection
   and the addon packages as long as I have no add_on_products file.
   When I use it, AY doesn't complain anymore about the kernelbio-source
   file, but it *only* installs sendmail, lilo, kernelbio-source and texinfo.
   Of course, each of these packages fails because bash etc. is missing.

   Have you seen sth. like that before?

cu,
Frank

P.S.: Really great fotos :-)
