I've booted this CD image: 6.1-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso I couldn't find anything useful with google or in the release notes/errata. Interestingly I can't find *anything* useful for the "at-xy not found" error message (which is really happening like this). The vendor ships a SUSE Linux with this box which works fine, also Fedora 6 amd64 boots just fine on it. I'm a bit lost now, especially because I cannot even disable anything in the kernel like this. So any hints would be appreciated. cu Adrian
