Err, sorry, maybe I wasn't clear, I havn't actually tried running discover --module all on the *installed* and booted system (yet, I can do that tonight). I suspect it will actually have problems. Running discover --module all works fine from the install CD when *not* in the /target chroot from same. I think discover --module all actually does hang on the booted system since the startup scripts hang at some point and I have to ctrl-c them to get the system to finish booting. I can try it manually tonight, as mentioned, though. I'll try mounting /proc at /target/proc and see what happens. I really hope that helps. :) Stephen
