Maybe you want to check.
Thanks Erich! It seems to work very well now. I'd like to include my UYOK-based script soon in systemimager to automagically generate the systemconfig.conf in the image using the golden-client approach. > > Can you quantify how much time longer the systemconfigurator step takes? > I re-added zipl support such that all tests succeed now, again.

Anyway, a typical installation using the standard BOEL kernel+initrd.img and a ~650MB image needed 3-4min, now I need 8min, but repeating my tests I've found that it's not a systemconfigurator issue... it's the pci-automod overhead. I think we can work and spend some time to optimize it, but it's not a critical problem for now, the advantages of pci-automod respect to discover are huge, so I would consider this overhead a minor side effect.
