OK, I've run a test with the equivalent of ghost for unix (but with Knoppix), which does a dd of /dev/hda , piped to gzip and ftped to another machine. It restores with the opposite. The restored image boots and F11 works fine with this type of disk imaging. Here is what I did: 1. uploaddisk to FTP server 2. zero the drive on the notebook with dd if=/dev/zero from Knoppix 3. slurpdisk from FTP to restore to the zeroed drive So it looks like the problem is specific to using udpcast or something else associated with that method (the kernel, etc.). I'm going to do another test with udpcast and the same physical disk to see if there is something related to the same disk being used which is already known to have F11 working. --Donald Teed On Mon, 12 Apr 2004, Alain Knaff wrote:
I suspect that the setting might be stored in the BIOS's CMOS memory rather than on disk itself. Indeed, if it was on disk, the whole-disk udpcast copy (/dev/hda) would have transferred it just fine.
