Hi Dave,
OK. I've got it working now. I trimmed out the append statements and created a new iso with what I need. Now it gets to the point where it gets the appropriate script however it can't stat device /dev/sda. I'm trying to install a Dell2850 and have been able to do so until recently. Has anyone been able to install a Dell2850 using systemimager in the last 3 - 4 months?

Hi Dave,
When attempting to enter the "linux ...." I get "Could not find kernel image linux". It does look as though the append parameters I've added to the iso file are there however. I've tried to create a new iso file with all of the append parameters I need but it fails with what looks to be a limit to the number of append statements you can add.

Hi John
The "linux.... " is entered at the boot prompt, that's right.
Can you give any detail of the error you are seeing?
I have had cases with the append values not being correctly parsed - if
you hit the pause key straight after it actually starts to boot the
kernel you'll see these "append" values at the top as kernel boot
arguments, and will be able to see whether it has picked them up as
expected
You might try modifying the --append syntax when you boot off the iso
try
linux --append HOSTNAME=$SCRIPT IPADDR=$CLIENT_IP
linux -append HOSTNAME=$SCRIPT IPADDR=$CLIENT_IP
linux -append "HOSTNAME=$SCRIPT IPADDR=$CLIENT_IP"
also, if you mount your boot iso - what contents do you see in the
isolinux/syslinux.cfg file - are the append values you entered when you
created your iso listed correctly?
