Hm, this is exactly what I've done, except I used the images/diskboot.img w/memdisk (from syslinux) instead of the the kernel and initrd directly. I compared the MD5 sums of the kernel and initrd from both isolinux/ on the DVD and from the diskboot.img image and they're exactly the same. (I did try booting a kernel and initrd directly from grub, but I used the ones from images/pxeboot, which I have used in the past (for doing network upgrades on machines without a working netboot ROM).) I could try using the kernel and initrd from isolinux directly with grub, although I doubt that would make a difference. Can you tell me what your "legacy USB" settings are in your BIOS? Is the grub you boot with on your normal internal (PATA/SATA/SCSI) drive? Is there any way I can more directly debug this? I don't have a shell since that comes from stage2, which isn't loaded yet. I suspect the other remote debugging options are not yet available either. Hm, yeah, looking over the initrd contents, there really isn't much available at all. Wil
