Thanks so much for making this happen. Since I have no HD-installed system, please hint me to an ISO that is made using the patched version, then i'll happily test that. -- 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.

The kernel modules are there (thanks for that!), but the CDDevices function doesn't seem recognize my USB drive. Apparently, it looks for a CD drive first. After a certain time, it then proceeds to look for a USB drive. But in my case, it appears to look at /dev/sdc while I don't even have 3 storage devices... Using my quick&dirty replacement for the CDDevices function posted in #1 above, it works fine though. -- 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.

I realize that kiwi is looking for "something" which it seemingly can't find on my USB stick. Shouldn't that "something" be the presence of the file config.isoclient?
