All,
    I have 6 G5 Xserves that need to be netbooted for a diskless project 
I'm wokring on. I have the DCDP server and tftpboot server working. 
Every time I build a 2.6.10* kernel, the machine hangs after the 
penguins show up... As if that's not strange enough, if I use a 2.6.8 
kernel with the same .config, everything is fine. Unfortunately, the 
SATA drivers in the 2.6.8 kernel are experimental and prevent me from 
acessing the disks. Has anyone sucessfully gotten this to work. I'm 
trying the 2.6.14 now. Any help is greatly appreciated.
