So you actually can support mixed machines... just create two different images- one for ide, one for scsi.  Then, when you generate your client ranges, just do it twice, and adjust the starting numbers accordingly when you create your second range.
With smaller disks, the partition sizes in the disktable may need tweaking.  And also, as Sean suggested, remove the rpms that surpass your architecture.

Does the oscar 1.2.1 allow for mix of client machines - that is with different harddisk types?  I have two 266 machines and a 166 machine being imaged from a 266 master node.  (I know the harddisks should be partitioned differently - but I saw no feature that takes this into consideration.  I also know that the hd is large enough to install the image. ) 

When I finally got the image installation part to work - only the 266 machines completed their image installation - the 166 machine seem to get to the end but then give the familiar error message followed by suggestion to read the sis image manual (heh).

Is there a disclaimer in the oscar manual that says that it does not support mixed commodity machines (beowulf style clusters).  And if anyone knows of a fix for this I would greatly appreciate it.

PS: I am still trying to figure out why I cannot run the tests given in the oscar suite. (see previous msg).  Are there alternative ways of testing PBS system.
