Hi, Actually this is not the way SystemImager is working. The /etc/fstab is not necessary to prepare and deploy the image. And actually, i do not have any initrd issue with any of the platforms i am using. Moreover, what is the problem? When the system reboots, it cannot find the root file system? If so, it is actually not an initrd issue but a problem based on the different between the kernel issue to image the node and then the kernel used to boot the compute nodes. Please, look at the SystemImager documentation or give us more details about your configuration so we can try to help you.
Regards, PS: i also know for sure that few users solved booting issues with CentOS-5.3 instead of CentOS-5.2, the kernel configuration is slightly different and avoid issues on few platforms. CentOS-5.3 is currently used by default if you are using the unstable repository. ----- Mail Original ----- De: "Ansgar Esztermann" <aesz...@gwdg.de> À: oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net Envoyé: Vendredi 24 Avril 2009 06h59:44 GMT -05:00 USA/Canada - États de l'Est Objet: [Oscar-users] 6.0.2, 6.0.3 and broken initrd Hello everyone, we have a problem here with unbootable images -- the initrd is generated incorrectly. I guess this line from oscar_wizard.log is related top the problem: awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `/etc/fstab' for reading (No such file or directory) Here, mkinitrd would look through /etc/fstab to determine the correct device and file system for /. However, since there is no fstab in the image, it fails. Does anyone have an idea about how to fix this? This is on CentOS.
