IanAtkin was kind enough to compile this.  I haven't had a chance to full test it in my environment though.

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/downloads/intel-gigabit-driver-e1000eko-linpe-ds69-sp3-sp4

That download is for the 2.6.27.7 kernel. I'll compile now for the 2.6.18.8 and upload to connect.  Give me a couple of hours.

Kind Regards,
Ian./

Awesome
Thank you sooooo much Ian
now I need to hunt around for the Mass storage drivers - (No disk found Error)

Hi Jebba,

What's the model you are trying to image? And what's the output of,

lspci -n | grep " 01[0-9][0-9]:" > /mnt/ds/mypcidata.txt
for mass in `lspci -n | grep " 01[0-9][0-9]:" | cut -d " " -f1` 
do 
 lspci | grep "$mass" >> /mnt/ds/mypcidata.txt
done

This should create a mypcidata.txt file on the express share, with all you salient mass-storage info.

the results I got are:

00:1f.2 Class 0106: 8086:3b2f (rev 06)
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 3b2f (rev 06)

It's an HP Elitebook 8440p Laptop

Hmm.... It seems to be a Intel(R) 5 Series 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller. But I can't find an explicit entry for it even in SP4 automation. I'll do some digging... I'll PM you about this one I think.
