Juan, Sorry, it seems that it was my fault. I retested the whole thing, and it seems I was creating the initrd wrong. /dev/null works with the initrd from the downloadable zip. Apparently extracting the initrd, changing files and repacking it with "find . | cpio -o -H newc > /unattended/linuxboot/tftpboot/initrd" does not work completely. I used the "five steps" instructions from the wiki here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/unattended/wiki/ModifyingTheBootDisk Unfortunately the drivers are not copied with the stock initrd from the zip file, I will investigate further. I am sorry to have bothered you. I would like to make good for this by submitting installer scripts. :-) What is the usual procedure for this?
