Usually I also have a vmlinux.aout image in my netboot install area too, and _this_ is what I use to recover from failed silo invocations during an install. I've built such an image that should hopefully work just fine for this purpose. Get it from: ftp.cobaltmicro.com:/pub/users/davem/images/vmlinux.aout Good luck. Later, David S.
