Are you installing redhat Enterprise 3 x86_64 or are you installing i386?
I have been dewling with the issues of installing this machiens as well and I almost have it working installing the x86_64 version. YOu should have no issues if you are installing i386 version. If you are installing the i386 version and haveing these issues let me know and I will send you a dd image of a boot floppy for those machines.

The network driver works, as upon boot the scripts work to start rsync with the server. Once it downloads the script from the server, it fails to be able to find any disk device - 'parted -s -- /dev/sda print' fails to stat the device. I cannot find either /dev/sda or /dev/hda when manually attempting to troubleshoot this problem. This is truly perplexing, even when I have built a custom intird.img which has this device file and included it in a custom S-I CD.
Background:
client machine is a Redhat Enterprise Linux with a kernel rev. of
2.4.21-20. S-I package rev. is systemimager-client-3.2.3-1.
Hardware: Dell 370; disk drive = ATA Model: WDC WD740GD-75FL, NIC = Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI
Express
server is debian unstable. kernel 2.6.6. systemimager-server 3.2.3-5.
Ran prepareclient on the Redhat box, and getimage on the server - no
problem. Knew that I had to get a kernel with the right driver, so I
initially just added that to the config in the standard flavor. Result
was that rsync could find the install script, but the problem with the
device file persists.
I have configured the DHCP server to know about the systemimager server, and to pass a static IP to this MAC address. I have also put a local.cfg file in the root of the filesystem, and rebuilt the CD - results are the same.
Reading the mailing list, I have seen some similar problems, but not quite the same hardware. Has anyone solved this with similar hardware?
