Bernard: When does the UseYourOwnKernel.pm get called? Is that during the si_prepareclient stage, the si_getimage stage, or when I run si_mkbootserver? I need to know which step I need to repeat after making the change to the MAKEDEV call to add devices.
Also I have a system image that uses volume groups or lvm. This needs /dev/vg0/BLAH device files but in looking at the various versions of MAKEDEV I have here (SuSE-10.0 and RHEL4) I don't see a way short of creating custom files on RHEL4 in /etc/makedev.d to make files for vg0 or lvm devices. I know people have reported success using system imager to image LVM based systems.
