You might find that it's easier to do with your boot kernel/initrd on local disks. That is, store your boot kernels and initrd on local storage, but change root to /dev/sd?? in each machine's grub.conf. You'll need to add a bunch of modules to /etc/modules.conf and rebuild your ramdisk to make sure usb-storage is and sd_mod are loaded *before* the ramdisk exits (and init starts). I don't know what the performance or data integrity implications are of using USB as your root partition... -- Lon -- Lon Hohberger Red Hat, Inc. --> http://www.redhat.com My Public Key --> http://people.redhat.com/lhh/pubkey.txt
