Sorry, this got lost in the gmail blackout. I replied before but my message never got through, then I forgot about it. :(
Are y'all working on fresh CentOS 4.4 installs or are these systems which have been upgraded from 4.2? Did they previously have OSCAR installed on them? The "startover" script in 4.2 is not perfect... Is there enough space in the partition containing /var? Is the directory /var/lib/systemimager/images/oscarimage/var/lock/rpm/ there? The only thing I can think of is that it looks like the script doesn't have permision to write to that directory, or just can't for some reason...
