So we broke this...

I have no idea why that balks, it looks totally sane to me and the same thing works manually.

LOL. Is that the wrong slash? haha

Still, why do the mkdir part fail? How about this?

Haha, probably klibc's mkdir that fails, plus your slash (did you mean backslash?). Last one looks better.

it's weird though, a manual "mkdir -p /foo" works fine for me. No "/ already exists" messages.

LOL, I see... the problem isn't in the mkdir -p...

- echo "options usb-storage delay_use=${usbdelay:-0}" >/
- /etc/modprobe.d/usb-delay

At the very end of the first line, that should be a \ not a /.

nice work sherlock! :)

Ah so both errors are because of that line - I thought the first error was from mkdir. Whoops

The above fix is in the x86_64 ISOs, because I can upload those faster (slicehost, not a local machine)
