Do you have PyXML installed for Python 2.4, and not Python 2.3? Maybe this is the reason that the 2.4 build fails - but this is just a guess. For the 'Cant find module linecache' (speculation again) please take a look at this page: http://adelux.c2a.fr/libre/howto/deployTwistedWindows/#bug-in-py2exe-0-5-4 You could try out a similar fix to the boot_com_servers.py script.
