Does my 2.4 'SI-3.4.1' kernel work with SI-3.5.1 and RHEL4? http://world.anarchy.com/~peter/systemimager/kernel I expect it to have a 40% chance of actually working.   For your development question, I can answer that. http://wiki.sisuite.org/ leads to ->   Developer Access The Subversion serve

David,   In playing around with the boel tar.gz file there is an interesting file under /usr/share once extracted.  Perhaps this was the discovery that Steve was referring to.  Performing a search on the pci.1st file shows that the Compaq 6i controller is listed as "unknown unknown."  I'm curious

David,   I manually ran a "modprobe cciss" from the BOEL command line in order to insure than an lsmod would show the cciss module loaded, it seemed to work in my case, resulting in the /dev/cciss/host0/target0/disc directory structure that was I referring to in my pervious mail.    In this case

Thanks for the reply Seth ... I was beginning to think there was no one on the list. The floppy/cd boots correctly and bombs exactly as you show below.   - from the shell at that point a lsmod does not show cciss loaded.   - /dev/cciss... does not exist.   - I would attempt to load ccisss.o if

Some more info on this now: System Imager 3.5.1 uses the 2.6.10_boel_v3.5.2 Kernel. When it talks to the cciss device boel refers to the /dev as /dev/cciss/host0/target0/disc, where as the autoinstall script refers to the cciss device as /dev/cciss/disc0/disc, so no wonder I'm getting the error o

David, Where does the imaging process bomb? Is it when parted starts trying to create the partitions and format them? I'm running into the same problem with some DL380 G4's (RHEL4 Install). Partitioning /dev/cciss/disc0/disc... Old partition tabe for /dev/cciss/disc0/disc Error: Could not st

I've been working with Ole Holm Nielsen RHEL4 write up (excellent work!) but have hit a bit of a snag. In system imager 3.4.X there was the option to "mkautoinstalldiskette" which seems to have disappeared in 3.5.1. Since we only image about 30 nodes simultaneously here having floppy control over
