Yes. xCAT only supports to run genimage on the node with the same OS of the target osimage. That means you need to find a fedora15 to run the 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? mike On 11/15/2011 12:25 AM, Xiao Peng Wang wrote: 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wang Xiaopeng (王晓朋) IBM China System Technology Laboratory Tel: 86-10-82453455 Email: [email protected] Address: 28,ZhongGuanCun Software Park,No.8 Dong Bei Wang West Road, Haidian District Beijing P.R.China 100193 Inactive hide details for Mike Lovell ---2011-11-12 02:48:04---i'm trying to get a fedora15 stateless image built and am havingMike Lovell ---2011-11-12 02:48:04---i'm trying to get a fedora15 stateless image built and am having some issues. i am using a 2.6.9 sn From: Mike Lovell <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 2011-11-12 02:48 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? mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ xCAT-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xcat-user
