I was unable to get the grub setup working at all. I had special grub requirements (password protected) and the systemconfigurator grub setup was not useful for us (even though it did work, just wouldn't work with passwords).
I tried using the overrides directory to override grub.conf, but that didn't work either. Ultimately, I had to write a post-install script that completely overwrote the grub.conf that systemconfigurator wrote with my custom one. That worked pretty well. Only problem is I have to manually update the script if I update the kernel. :-) -- Jordan Klein ~ Beware of dragons jkl...@zebraimaging.com ~ for you are crunchy Solaris / OpenBSD / Linux Admin ~ and go well with ketchup -----Original Message----- From: Bernard Li [mailto:bern...@vanhpc.org] Sent: Friday, June 19, 2009 5:20 PM To: sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [sisuite-users] Errors from systemconfigurator (I think) Hi Mike: On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 1:33 PM, Mike VanHorn<michael.vanh...@wright.edu> wrote: > I'm try to use systemimager 4.0.2-1 and systemconfigurator 2.2.11-1 to build > cluster nodes based on cAos. > > The booting and rsync part goes fine, but when it gets to the > systemconfigurator part, I get a whole bunch of errors similar to > > "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at > /usr/lib/systemconfig/Boot/Grub.pm line 245" > > I get many of these, and various different lines.

What you have to do is figure out how to set GRUB up manually in the SystemImager environment and then put the commands in a post-install script.
