hrm. this is a little discouraging and probably the reason. here is the relevant output during genimage.

Enter the dracut mode. Dracut version: 3.0.3-1

004

. Dracut directory: dracut.

so apparently it isn't using dracut_009 like it should. the management node in this case is a rhel6 server. do i need to be doing this on a node that is using dracut 009 itself?

xCAT did have the support for fedora15 stateless. Could you show out the message like: Enter the dracut mode. Dracut version ... when run the genimage command? I need to figure out the version of dracut in your management node.

Refer to the code in the genimage:

    if (-d "$rootimg_dir/usr/share/dracut") {
    $dracutmode = 1;
    # get dracut version
    my $dracutver = `rpm -R $rootimg_dir -qi dracut | grep Version | awk -F' ' '{print \$3}'`;
    if ($dracutver =~ /^\d\d\d$/) {
    if ($dracutver >= "009") {
    $dracutdir = "dracut_009";
    } else {
    $dracutdir = "dracut"; # The default directory
    }
    }
    print "Enter the dracut mode. Dracut version: $dracutver. Dracut directory: $dracutdir.\n";
    }

Thanks
Best Regards

Subject: [xcat-user] fedora15 stateless




i'm trying to get a fedora15 stateless image built and am having some
issues. i am using a 2.6.9 snapshot from 11/09 and have done the basic
copycds, genimage, packimage, and nodeset to tell a node to boot the
newly created stateless image. when the node boots, it fails and drops
to a debug shell. there are a couple different errors i was seeing. i
tracked a couple of the errors to the fact that the /initqueue and
/initqueue-finished directories didn't exist in the initramfs and
manually edited the initramfs to add them. the one error i can not trace
down is one that says

dracut Warning: No root device "1" found

this appears right after it downloads the stateless rootimg and unpacks
it. anyone know what might be going on here and how to fix it?
