When you link to systemimager-3.5.3/src/linux-2.6.10 is this before or after patches?  Because if you look at systemimager-3.5.3/patches, there should be a bunch of patches that need to be applied for the kernel.

I built/installed 3.5.3 from source and that worked. So i had checked the kernel .config against patches/linux.i386.config and they were identical so it didn't look like the build had been cleaned up or tampered with to me.

I just did a

cd systemimager-3.5.3
make kernel_clean
make kernel
cd src/linux-2.6.10
make modules
make modules_install

and still get the unresolved symbols. I am pretty sure the patches get applied, so I'm a bit lost.

So I tried to build a clean install 2.6.15 (no patches) with the si config, and I get a number of errors. Stuff like redefinition of types and functions in the scsi/sata code which I find odd to say the least. I'm going to try build a slimmed down config and then add in the scsi and ata stuff bit by bit until it breaks.

In regards to UYOK, use si_prepareclient (but with 3.6.3, not 3.5.3).  According to Brian that wrapper creates working binaries (though I did update si_mkbootpackage recently so it sort of works too...).  After you run si_prepareclient on the server it'll restart your rsync server, just reload it manually and everything will be dandy (/etc/init.d/systemimager-server-rsyncd restart).  Of course you need to copy the resulting kernel/initrd.img to /tftpboot to PXE boot your nodes.

Ok, I'll consider upgrading to 3.6.3 then.

thanks
