I tried this, both with and without the other "fix". In all cases, the
DVD is ejecting immediately after controller drivers are loaded. It
can't even start to install. I know it's the stage2.img, because if I
replace a hacked one with the original, the install will proceed.
Has anyone made this work? I could really use the exact steps that will
result in a DVD that will stay mounted for %post, or a link to that
stage2.img that I can download. I'd prefer to know the correct edits
that I can do myself and wind up with a working image that I can
reproduce in the future.
