Basically when I create a .iso from an image and attempt to run it on a 
machine I get the error "Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops" and then the 
boot stops.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going wrong here, we really 
need to get this working!

I'll go through the entire procedure now.

Image taken using si_getimage
Then I use si_mkautoinstallcd


[EMAIL PROTECTED] cortex1-image]# si_mkautoinstallcd --out-file cortex1-1.iso
Here is a list of available flavors:

   cortex1-image
   standard

Which flavor would you like to use? [standard]: cortex1-image

You can now burn your ISO image to a CDROM and boot your auto-install
clients from it!


I've then taken two approaches, burning the .iso to a physical CD and 
putting it in a machine and booting from it. And also using the .iso to 
boot a virtual machine in VMWare, both have produced the same error 
message which is.
