Hi, 

Brand new relase with Plymouth GUI if "splash" or "rhgb" keyword is present in 
PXE cmdline.
Screenshot: 
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/sis_plymouth.png
(ESC key will toggle between text and GUI modes.
Best display is vga=791 as cmdline parameter (other resolution will work. need 
at least 640x480 with 256 colors)

Text mode is still the default.
Screenshot: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/SIS_CO6.png

What works aside cool interface (text or GUI)
- bootpackage creation works (si_mkbootpackage)
- rsync deployment method works
- SSH deployment method works (tested si_pushinstall) (in this mode, the GUI 
doesn't display a wating wheel like in text mode, bit it works)
- grub2 bootloader install works
- si_monitortk works fine

Not tested but should work:
- grub1 bootloader install (CentOS-6)

TODO:
- stop cleanly rsync and unmount disks if CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed during 
imaging.
- fix colormap bug on CENTOS-7 (drm driver bug => change backgroud)
- test and eventualy fix flamethrower deployment
- test and eventualy fix bittorrent deployment
- create a wait dialog box for plymouth GUI when waiting for SSH tunnel 
initialisation from server (si_pushinstall)
- update doc with all cmdline new parameters
- update API usable in pre/post install scripts (/lib/systemimager-lib.sh)
- Fix a little bug: test progress bar is displayed twice if GUI is active (race 
condition).

IMHO, this release is as stable as last stable release, though it is less 
tested so be carefull.

Repos for RHEL6, RHEL7 and FC25:
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/
Release number: v4.5.0-20170518git

Usual notes:
1/ You must regenerate your install scripts
E.g.: /usr/sbin/si_mkautoinstallscript -quiet --autodetect-disks -image 
oscarimage_sda -force -ip-assignment static -post-install shell
(post install can be shell, reboot, poweroff, ...) (shell drops a debug shell 
at the end so you can check what was done)

2/ Easy install using OSCAR repositories
- For easy install on CentOS-7:
rpm -ivh 
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/rhel-7-x86_64/oscar-release-6.1.2r11110-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm
- For easy install on CentOS-6:
rpm -ivh 
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/repos/unstable/rhel-6-x86_64/oscar-release-6.1.2r11073-1.el6.noarch.rpm
- (Not yeat available for FC-25, you must create your repofile by hand or 
install CentOS-7 package and update /etc/yum.repos.d/oscar.repo)

3/ Note: to setup your PXE, most of relevant cmdline parameters can be found 
here:
(/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/39systemimager/module-install.sh or install on old 
distros)

4/ Needs a postinstall script to setup network.
One that can be used is the following one:
http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/pkgs/downloads/sis_postinstall/16all.network_config

Happy deployment.

Olivier.
