YaST failure with SLES7

Hello,

	I'm trying to setup ALICE to install SLES7 on a variety of machines
using dhcp and NFS.  I first tried ALICE 0.9.2 which was provided with
our copy of SLES7.  I had a problems with the number of inodes on the
initrd, so I increased the number of inodes in the make_inst_disk
script.  After that I was able to install a number of machines, but a
few machines were giving me the following:

/sbin/YaST --autofloppy return code 7 (errno = 9)

	I also saw a return code of 256 at some point as well.  I thought
perhaps this was again related to running out of space or inodes as
there were messages posted to the list alluding to such problems.  I did
some checking and this did not seem to be the case, so I decided to try
upgrading to ALICE 0.9.4.  After upgrading, I was able to set the
parameters for inodes and sizes in my TCF to the following:

<SYS_INITRD_SIZE>4096</SYS_INITRD_SIZE>
<SYS_INITRD_INODES>8192</SYS_INITRD_INODES>

	I am *STILL* seeing the YaST error I gave above, but I have noticed
that it doesn't always happen.  I was able to install one of my machines
and thought the problem was gone.  I went to install it again using the
exact same floppy and it died this time.  Is there any way to get more
information on what is happening?  I believe this is happening just
after the last RPM is installed, but I couldn't be sure since the
installer screen is cleared and I cannot find a useful log anywhere.

	Any ideas where I should look?  I have a whole lot of machines to
install and manual installs are really not an option.

	Cordially,
	-dath
