I might be confusing load-iso/load-cdrom, but > here's the general idea. Problem is we're a bit low on numbers (we really should multiply all these numbers by 10 at some point). The actual numbers are: 12 kbd-chooser 13 iso-scan load-iso 14 cdrom-detect load-cdrom file-preseed 15 ethdetect s390-netdevice (s390) 18 netcfg netcfg-static 21 network-preseed network-console The minimally invasive fix seems to be: 12 kbd-chooser 13 iso-scan cdrom-detect 14 file-preseed 16 load-iso load-cdrom 18 ethdetect s390-netdevice (s390) netcfg netcfg-static 21 network-preseed network-console Ie, move cdrom-detect from 14 to 13, move load-iso from 13 to 16, move load-cdrom from 14 to 16, move ethdetect and s390-netdevice from 15 to 18 (netcfg's dependency on these will ensure proper ordering of them before it). Can someone review this proposal? -- see shy jo
