Just to clarify, SystemImager 3.4.1 does work with 2.6 kernel - I have imaged Fedora Core 2 and Fedora Core 3 which are both 2.6 kernel based and they all work fine. It is somewhat perplexing why RHEL4 doesn't work though :< > However, in the meantime I've built RPM packages from the > Systemimager v3.5.2 CVS available from > http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=259 > The systemimager.spec file needs a bit of fixing, but I can now > build v3.5.2 RPMs correctly from the current CVS.

SystemConfigurator can correctly set up grub and the nodes can come up without problems?
