hi all,

i'm trying to use pxeboot for a new machine with x86_64 sl50.

i've encountered 2 issues so far:
a. our kickstart file looks like

...
text            # Use text mode
reboot          # Reboot at the end
         skipx		# Do not configure XWindow (default)

# System language
...

during the ks step, it stops with message:
"skipx doesn't take any arguments".

b. we are missing a scsi driver (for 3ware 9650) in the pxe initrd, so 
i'm trying to add it (done this before.)

but know i get stuck in the very first step:
afterdownloading initrd.img, gunzipping it, i try to mount it and i get 
the following error:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

explicitly trying ext2 (and even ext3) it still fails.
i tried it with and sl45 initrd.img file and there it worked without any 
problem.

any hints on how to get it working?
