&gt;<i> Hi,

Hi,

/root/drakx/ddebug.log might give some clue about what failed.

&gt;<i> I'm not sure why this isn't working but perhaps someone more familiar
</I>&gt;<i> with the installer itself (TV?) could comment?
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> I was under the impression the initrd would be regenerated at the end?
</I>&gt;<i> Does this even happen or have I just assumed this? I'm pretty sure in
</I>&gt;<i> the past it did used to regenerate it but I could be mistaken.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> So the question then remains, how do we ensure that either:
</I>&gt;<i>  a) the initrd is regenerated at the end of the install process
</I>
That's ensured at the bootloader installation step.
If not present for every configured kernel, an initrd will be created.

&gt;<i>  b) we delay the kernel install until the end such that all other
</I>&gt;<i> packages are guarenteed to be installed and available.
</I>
That should not be necessary if (a) is done correctly.

Cheers
