An 'lsmod' on the client you're trying to image (within BOEL) should list the 
module for the SCSI/SATA controller if it's recognized.

Check the disk controller in the HP machine you are trying to image.  If the 
Autoinstall CD does not contain a kernel module for the actual hardware present 
in the machine, disk enumeration won't happen as expected by the Master script. 
The device identified therein will not be recognized, and cannot be formatted.

If you have built the client image on one of these blades, be sure that the 
modules are loaded.  You may need to copy the module into the 'my_modules' 
directory in the initd_template directory and add a line in INSMOD_COMMANDS. 

Checking /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions should yield some additional 
clues as well.  If the device is recognized, it will be present here as sda.

If this is the case, check the .master script and autoinstall.conf and be sure 
that it is referencing the correct device.



I may not be entirely correct, but I hope this helps.
