  Hi Rak

  I don't ignore anyone :-) To be on topic: the kernel does receive the
parameter ksdevice=bootif from the PXE bootloader. I tried to put eth0
instead of bootif, but it never worked (might be because of other
configuration directives). I've pasted the configuration a couple of times
in this thread so if you look back at one of the messages you will find the
configurations I'm using ...
