The CD-ROM was listed when it was scanning SCSI devices. (It was at target 6.) I didn't see anything about an initrd, which confused me, since the /etc/silo.conf has "initrd=" lines. I have since overwritten the CD with a Red Hat "Raw Hide" CD, which I created by virtually the same proceedure. I may give the UltraPenguin one another try in a few days. Steve dunham@cse.msu.edu
