I just did a stock install of the pre-beta on a Dell desktop (Intel P
-III-generation).  The machine does not have a connection to the net at
the moment, and as such I have not upgraded the kernel.

Pre-boot authentication was working fine, but even at the first attempt
at using the keyscript I got the same problem with it not finding the
keyscript, and not allowing the password to be entered.  There is a
large difference between when the script works, but no keyfile is found
- and this state and no keyfile is found.  In the former it patiently
waits for the password to be entered, in the latter it simply goes on to
a blank screen.

Note that this is the same script that works on my other machine with
the ...-5 kernel.

The script, as well as guide to set it up:

At the bottom there is a link to an improved version.  I am using that version.
