Congrats on getting this far, remote booting of full distros is an interesting proposition to say the least. > I'm not sure at what point it's hanging, since I can't login and look at logs. May I suggest redirecting the kernel logs to a TTY? I did this many moons ago, and I vaguely remember how. On Ubuntu, look at the file /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf. You may have to play with it, but try adding a line like: *.* /dev/tty3 To dump ALL logging to console tty3. Then you can watch the bootup and perhaps get a useful log message. Brian
