I hoped I can try this but the latest svn shows for me:

beast:oscar-4.1/packages>grep tftp */config.xml
oscar-httpd/config.xml:  <description>Configure an apache web server to export 
/tftpboot/rpm.</description>
sis/config.xml:      <rpm>tftp-hpa</rpm>

So it's not yet in there...

In order to finally test the ia64 rhel3ws install I did the following:
- replaced tftp-hpa by tftp-server in sis/config.xml
- placed a self-built tftp-server rpm into /tftpboot/rpm
- started oscar install wizard (it installed the tftp-server package)
- chkconfig tftp on; service xinetd restart
- installing a slave node...

The node installs well but the initrd creation seems to fail, so the
slave node reboots and install again and again...

I booted in a rescues system and tried "systemconfigurator
--runboot". It returns with an error:

/lib/modules/1.1.3 is not a directory
WARNING: RH style ramdisk generation failed. at /usr/lib/systemconfig/Initrd.pm 
line 96

No idea why it looks at /lib/modules/1.1.3, the kernel version is
2.4.21-20.EL :-( Something seems to be broken with the
systemconfigurator kernel version recognition in
/usr/lib/systemconfig/Initrd/Generic.pm (around line 50).

Best regards,
Erich
