Dear Marianne,
Sorry for the late response - summer and all that.
I have encountered something similar, and if I remember correctly, then
si_prepareclient is rather picky with the namin of the initrd file (to
be packed with the kernel for later installs). si_prepareclient looks
for matching file names in /boot/, but it is unaware of the newer forms
initramfs*, and only looks for initrd*. (Can't remember if you also
needthe output from uname -r in there.)
My personal hack is simply to copy (or hard link) the real initramfs
to something, which will be recognized, e.g. like:
cp -av initramfs-$(uname -r).img initrd-to-sisuite-$(uname -r).img
(Also, I have to remove any /boot/initrd-$(uname -r)kdump.img, but you
do not seem to have such).
Best,
Bjarne
PS: The actual (wrong) checking for si_prepareclient goes on in the sub
is_initrd in UseYourOwnKernel.pm.

Hi,
I have installed SystemImager as instructed by the manual
(systemimager-manual-4.1.6.pdf)
using the RPM Based Distributions from the install script. With an image
server on one machine
and a golden client on another. This is on a IBM blade cluster using
CentOS6.2, with all the
DHCP, Domain name, tftp services working.
When using the si_prepareclient, all looks good until the final part;

This client is ready to have its image retrieved. You must now run
the si_getimage command on your imageserver.
Your client has been successfully prepared. Boot kernel (copied from
this Linux distribution) and an initrd.img (generated by the
initrd_template package) can be found in /etc/systemimager/boot.
Automatically create configuration file for systemconfigurator:
/etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf
FATAL: unable to detect an initrd for 2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64!
WARNING: coulnd't create file /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf (needed by

I think it is looking for one of the files in the /boot directory?

What do I need to do to get this to work?
