Well, seems I had a really old version of python, 1.5.2. I setup a second image server on a RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 box and it installed perfectly.
A lot of the issues I had with setting up flamethrower are gone now. The only thing I had to do manually was add an entry in /etc/systemimager/flamethrower.conf for boot-ia64-standard. The install works fine after that modification, except it hangs after receiving the image. I'm guessing it is untaring the image on the receiver side? Its been sitting for an hour, I would think it would be done by now. How can I turn off the debugging in the cvs version also? I noticed that udp-receiver creates a file on the client end called multicast.tar, then untars that. Our image is 2.3G, is there anyway for it to pipe directly to the /a filesystem using tar instead of to a file?? It takes quite a while for the untar to happen and a direct pipe, if that is supported, might speed that up. Just a guess though. I'll continue to track cvs until a release comes out.
