Hi Jorgen
We found a few more issues with buildiso when moving across from 1.6 to 2.2
DNS entries
If added via the kernel options (dns=x.x.x.x,x.x.x.x) are being set as a list on the APPEND line. Old 1.6 entries we have used this a lot, this is a temporary fix put in place.

Management Interface
As this option never existed in 1.6 buildiso will fail as the management field is not populated with data for any interface, this is a temporary fix to get us round the issue in the interim. Not sure of best approach here e.g. as we have ksdevice (redhat) set would could run a script to set False on all systems interfaces.

We use ksdevice a lot on our multi-nic systems, would it not make sense if management interface is selected and ksdevice is not added to kernel options it gets added, same could be true of other OS. The best place for this I am not sure would be easy enough to add to buildiso but its also a nice feature to have for koan ?
BTW the name management interface seems confusing as some folks (ok me) will associate that we say out of band management maybe boot|build interface would have been a better name, just a thought.
Thanks again, will keep testing.
Thanks again Simon for reporting issues, it's very much appreciated.
I've reproduced at least the dns issue, i will come up with a patch and submit that here. As another workaround for the dns issue you could just enter the dns servers in the nameserver field and things should be okay.
I will get back to you.
