There is a "nextserver" in the dhcpd.conf pointing to pc15.hep.ucl.ac.uk,
which is the LCFGng server. I am using all the same hardware as I did for
EDG, and the only changes I have made are to the LCFG files on the LCFGng
server. Perhaps I should reinstall the server from scratch? I haven't done
this in moving from EDG to LCG, just replaced the configuration files and
downloaded new RPMs.

There are no mount requests in /var/log/messages from when I used the new
iso, so as you say this is even worse.

Is it failing before reaching that step, or on reaching it? Is the "unable
to open initial console" part of the same problem? And where should it
find the init script? Is that on the install disk or in the nginstallroot
filesystem?
Cheers,
Ben
