Re: [Oscar-users] SATA DISKS

[Bernard Li]

Hi Carlos:   Do you have RAID in your client nodes too?  SystemImager 3.6.3 does not support that well (3.7.3 does though).   I presume the error about "device.map" is generated from SystemConfigurator call - can you post more messages from that call?  Generally more error messages during the imaging process would help trouble-shoot the problem.   Which version of systemconfigurator do you have installed?   Cheers,   Bernard From: Carlos Vasco Ortiz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 8:16 To: Bernard Li Cc: Oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Oscar-users] SATA DISKS Hi Bernard, Not luck yet. Still downloading the nigthly tarball, but tried a fresh Oscar 4.2.1b5 install, sysimager updated to 3.6.3, and no luck again. The image installs in the node Ok, but tells that he can't find /boot/grub/device.map and proposes a extrange one. When booting from the hard disk, the following errors are reported: mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 and kernel panic... Fixing the /boot/grub/device.map, copying it from a node with a straight RHEL4 installation, and running grub-install, doesn't help. Any idea? The server has a software RAID, I don't know if it cares. Thanks again, Carlos Carlos Vasco Ortiz wrote: Hi Bernard, Jus't tried with the existing oscar 4.2.1b5, updating the Systemimager packages in the server to 3.6.3, and regenerating the image. This time the image installs into the node, but when we boot that  node from the hard disk, a 'kernel panic' error arises. Still trying to dowload the 4.2.1 nightly tarball, and a start over will be tried now. Thanks, Carlos PS. I am unable to use the IRC from here...
